Hey! I am going to choose my specialization soon in my engineering physics degree, but I am very uncertain on what I want to do. Only thing I know is that I want to work on something cutting edge.

So what areas of science and tech do you find exciting, and why? Do you know anything about employability in this field?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Robotics and nano-tech especially medical nano-tech are pretty cutting edge.

Robotics seems to move along at a glacial pace with the latest push being the DARPA challenge.

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
