Hey. I did a bachelors in physics (emphasis in solid state) and am now in a PhD program in materials science and engineering. Maybe I can provide some insight. Condensed matter physics deals physical phenomena in condensed phases of matter (solid phases, liquid phase, superconducting phase...

I've heard a lot about the situation for physicists in industry (typical jobs they take, difficulty finding a job, salaries, best subfields to transition into industry, etc.) but how about APPLIED physicists (people who graduated with Phds in Applied Physics from programs such as Cornell or...

Thank you very much for the input. For someone with a physics phd looking for a job in industry, is it typically for him/her to be hired to a job which requires a phd? Or would it be more likely that he/she will be competing against people with engineering or physics masters or even bachelor...

Hi everyone. I'm a senior undergrad and about to obtain a bachelors in physics from a top US university. I specialized in solid state physics and am doing my undergrad honors thesis in graphene synthesis and characterization. I want to eventually work in the semiconductor industry or with...
