 ax: \nDescription: Electronic materials exhibit diverse properties\, some 
 of which merely inspire our curiosity while others also change the way we 
 live our lives. When electronic correlations are strong\, the behavior of 
 such materials becomes even richer but the theoretical description becomes
  notoriously difficult. The fundamental question is how the electrons are 
 organized and\, in particular\, whether there are principles that are univ
 ersal among the various classes of strongly correlated materials. One such
  principle\, which has come to prominence in recent years\, is quantum cri
 ticality. It describes the collective fluctuations of matter undergoing a 
 continuous transition between competing ground states. A particularly live
 ly setting arises in correlated systems at the border of antiferromagnetis
 m. Here\, theoretical studies have brought out new classes of quantum crit
 ical points\, which are supported by mounting experimental evidence. At th
 e same time\, experiments have signaled that quantum criticality nucleates
  novel phases\, for which theoretical understandings are just beginning. I
 n this lecture\, I will introduce the basics about quantum criticality inc
 luding the motivations to study it\, and use the prototype case of heavy f
 ermion metals to summarize the recent developments. I will also discuss so
 me of the open issues and future directions\, including the interplay amon
 g antiferromagnetic quantum criticality\, electronic localization and unco
 nventional superconductivity.
