I have a chance to be doing some research this summer in some good labs. My level of proficiency with physics is around the late freshman - mid sophomore stage. What could I do research on?

When choosing a research topic, it is important to consider your interests, strengths, and the current gaps in the field. Talk to your advisor or colleagues for suggestions and read relevant literature to find gaps that you could potentially fill with your research.
To ensure that your research topic is original, conduct a thorough literature review to see what has already been done in your field. You can also use research databases and search engines to check for existing studies on your topic. If you find similar research, try to identify ways to differentiate your study.
Your research topic should be specific enough to guide your study, but broad enough to allow for flexibility and potential future direction. It should also be feasible and achievable within the scope of your resources and time constraints.
To ensure that your research topic is relevant and significant, consider its potential impact on the field and its potential to contribute new knowledge or address important issues. Consult with experts in your field and gather feedback from colleagues to refine your topic.
It is possible to change your research topic after starting your study, but it is not recommended unless absolutely necessary. Changing your topic can significantly impact your research design and may require you to start from scratch. It is best to carefully consider and finalize your research topic before beginning your study.
