Well, that's a shame. A job at something that I partially like seems better than a job at a different field to the one I studied, so I may just stick with a engineering degree. I have had read that pinned thread though. No. Or at least, none that I'm aware of (so probably there isn't an...

I know this has been asked a lot, but I have to ask myself for an opinion factoring my own background: I'm a 18 year old high student from Spain, who has to choose his career in the next few weeks. I used to think I would study engineering at university, but during those last two years at high...

Ok, thanks! That was exactly what I wanted to know.

I was curious about why the plasma inside a modern fusion reactor (ITER, DIII-D) is modeled with a D-shaped cross section. From what I've read, it is more stable that way, but WHY is it more stable than a similar plasma flow with a circular cross-section? Thanks in advance (and sorry if I...

Hi! I was wondering something about the plasma cross-section shape in fusion reactors, but I couldn't find any info that wasn't either too general or too difficult to understand, so I decided to post here.
