Abstract

In response to an invitation by the organizers of the 27th international conference on atomic collisions in solids, a brief survey is presented, starting from the roots of the field in the 1950s and 1960s, of some major discoveries, longstanding problems, surprising findings and memorable controversies in topics covered by the conference. Considering the breadth of the field, the selection of topics is necessarily subjective, but with the emphasis on channeling, stopping and sputtering, three topical areas are discussed which have been active from the early 1960s until now.
