Which are some of the most nascent and/or least researched subjetcs in observational astrophysics?? how about Quasars and Pulsars?? So far i know it needs top quality instrumentation to get info about them...can anyone tell me about the "hot topics" in astrophysics in the near future. Dark...

In your opinion what are the top specializations of EE that are in demand. What is the hardest to get into and yet most rewarding? I've taken some introductory courses in the following subjects and done pretty well. Right now I see myself going into Analog but I am so interested in RF. Is RF...

Sorry if this is wrong part of the board to post in... I am taking a atomic-molcular physics class right now and we are suposed to hold a 25 minute presentation in 4 weeks on a hot topic in atomic-molecular physics. If possible Il gladly take this as a chanse to deepen my knoweledge on...

Hi all! Could anyone tell me, a final year student in mechanical engineering preparing for his final year project, what the hot reserach topics in heat transfer are?

First, is this the right area to post topics on combinatorics? It seemed better than "General Math" to me, but I'm not quite sure this is right either. OK, my question is a general one. I've been trying to calculate some things recently, and it strikes me that what I'm doing is essentially...

hi out of my own interest i want to present papers in various symposiums. i am an electronics n communication enginerin student. i'd b obliged if u could provide me a list of probable topics on which papers could b presented in my field ( ECE) by me. thanks in advance narasimhan:smile:

Hello, I'm in the midst of choosing technical electives (in the Engineering Physics program). I am just wondering what sorts of Electrical Engineering topics might be applicable to astrophysics, or space science in general? I hope this question is not too vague, but I have a choice of...

Hi, For my school district, all high school seniors are required to complete a graduation project in order to receive a diploma. We're supposed to pick a class we enjoy and work together with the teacher of that class, who acts as a mentor, in coming up with a presentable project to a class...

I am looking for controversial subjects in physics, and possibly other sciences including math. There is a paper due at the end of my semester of english/composition and I must write on any controversial subject (so long as two sides to the issue exist, which is not very specific). ie (iraq war...

To allow easier access to formulae we commonly refer to within various topics and as a time saver when wanting to generate them in LaTex for discussions, I propose this thread as a convenient place to store useful formulae (to copy and paste as appropriate within threads).

I want to inform you that our course about operational amplifier at university has such of the following topics: adder amplifier(inverting and non inverting)- integrator-diffrentiator-comparator- schmitt trigger-rectangular waveform generator-triangular waveform generator...and some active...

Question: "An airplane engine delivers 1.5x10^6 W at an angular velocity of 2400 rev/min." A) Compute torque developed B) If a drum of negligible mass, .5m in diameter, were attached to the motor shaft, and the power output of the engine were used to raise a weight hanging from a rope...

Hi everyone I have a physics test tomarrow. Unfortunately we never had a physics textbook so I never understood what our Instructor was talking about. I have notes. but it is not helping. I have researched Nasa, unable to find an easy explanation to these topics. Can You redirect me to the...

Hello, I have got a book called " Differential Equations", by Paul Blanchard, Robert L. Devaney, and Glen R. Hall. Here is the book: http://www.brookscole.com/cgi-wadsworth/course_products_wp.pl?fid=M2b&product_isbn_issn=0495012653&discipline_number=1 I am doing now some self-study on...

Hi, I'm thinking of applying for a summer scholarship (in dec) from our maths department where we undergo study for 8 weeks with a project in maths. We have to have our proposed topics in by 7/Sept but I'm really stuck for ideas. I'm a freshman at my university, and have taken/taking: the...

Hi all,, I am having a course on general chemistry next semester and the following topics are included into the course ,,so i need if you guys can pls advice me for some good book to cover the following topics: Chemistry, man and matter, Experimental methods of structure determination...

What are the hot topics in astronomy and cosmology as measured by production of recent academic papers? I'm not looking for an exact number, just a relative ranking with some sense of order of magnitude. My motive is to get at the whole mainstream v. non-mainstream issue in a way that...

Are there any topics in physics that concerns fire? I need it for some essay.

I am interested in quantum computing, but presently have no clue as to where should I start. Could you suggest some topics in the field for me to go ? Some simple ones that I can finish them in one year ? Could you ? Thanks a lot

Idea ? Hello all! I'm back again...sorry to say...I'm busy these days with my exams...and lots of club works... Ok...I've problem...I want to take research on Computer Science subject...but problem is as we are in South Aisa...we don't get much upto date news about technology...I...

I'm a grade 12 student and have been given the task of teaching our algebra and geometry class for a day :smile: . There are absolutely no restrictions on what I can teach about. It does not in any way have to be related to algebra or geometry, just mathematics in general. What I really need is...

Everytime I try opening a topic here my browser shuts down. So this is just to see what happens if I start the topic I try to get into.

As a student I have grown a curiosity on Research Topics in Mathematics. Anyways I would like to know what are the current Research Topics in Mathematics for Phd students? I just want an idea of what they are researching on, to give me a focus in a particular area of study of the basics...

For the experienced scientists and educators, what are the most useless math topics from a practical standpoint. I would list my favorite: 1. Polynomial long division. If the numerator and denominator don't factor, what is the use of performing the long division? I know of only one...

From favorite to hated: 1. Kinematics / Gravitation / Relativity 2. Conservation of Energy / Vectors 3. Momentum 4. Dynamics 5. Waves / Oscillations 6. Magnetism 7. Electric Fields / Optics 8. Pressure/Fluids... 9. Angular stuff...blech

Hi, I was wondering how and where physics researchers find good research topics in the field of theoretical physics? (and possibly experimental physics too) I'm not talking about obvious holy grail of physics such as 'theory of everything' or cold-fusion.. but some topics that are...

Who can tell me some typical topics in Condensed Matter Physics nowadays?[?]

Hello all, It's time for a little experiment. As part of my constant quest to stimulate discussion and bring more technical content to physicsforums.com, I am going to occassionally provide links to posts from the usenet newsgroup sci.physics.research, which is a moderated internet-based...

Hi I found these forums by accident but I'm happy I did because I'm always ready to talk physics.I am not a phyiscs major or in that field, I did take it in high school and have read some books on relativity and some Hawkins books. I'm looking for the latest information on a few topics.. 1...

I'm asking because I'm trying to get a feel for this forum.

Before the change overmorp FZ, meteor, Hurkyl, dg, Tom, and myself had an interesting forum on photons. As this does not appear to have been revived yet, I have put my almost complete revision of a page on Light on my site. This should be read in conjunction with the page on Bosons. Can we get...
