Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a research project about dielectric heating of some materials and I'm trying to understand the physics of this phenomenon before going any further. I'm especially trying to understand the concept of complex dielectric constant and loss factor. I'm...

Hi everyone, I am currently working on a subject that involves a lot of 4th order tensors computations including double dot product and inverse of fourth order tensors. First the definitions so that we are on the same page. What I call the double dot product is : $$ (A:B)_{ijkl} =...

Hi everyone ! I'm currently working on a project for which I need to measure the advancing contact angle of a liquid on a solid, specifically the advancing contact angle of a molten thermoplastic on carbon fibers. My understanding is that there is a difference between dynamic contact angles...

Hi, I'm interested in this master's degree with a concentration in plasma physics at the University of Washington. However, I realized that the Aeronautics and Aerospace department department is part of the College of Engineering and I don't really want to follow engineering centric courses as...

The first year in my school is a broad year where we explore the basics of material science, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and systems. I'll only specialize next year. It's still unclear what I will work on. I might take applied mathematics, thermodynamics or material science. I am looking...

You know, the system here in France is really different from that of the US, and I even come from something special in France (Classe Préparatoires aux Grandes Ecoles [CPGE]). I consider myself pretty strong. In case you don't know what CPGE is, we basiclly do 10 hours of physics, 10 hours of...

I don't know, we don't have GPA in France. But I'm in one of the best schools in my country. Not sure it is relevant to the question though.

Hi and thanks for your answer. Let's get this thing out of the way : no business degree. When I say I want to create a company to do research, I am not saying this is the first company I will build. I am patient, and my plans are for the next 30 to 40 years. The thing is : you can learn...

Hi, I am an engineering student from France with a head full of dreams about space exploration. I am passionate about science in general, and I like to listen to music, to go for hikes, to read about History and politics, and I always enjoy a good time with friends. I hope I'll have a good...

Hi everyone, I apologize for the long post, and the fact that it may not be written with perfect grammar and spelling since I am not a native English speaker. I am an engineering student from France, and I am interested in pursuing a PhD in physics in the near future. It's been a week that...
