Which field of physics would i categorize this in? I am interested in the study of biofuels, photovoltaic cells, and grid tie inverters. Please give me the field that each corresponds to.

Also, what are some other interesting/complex problems in those fields?

Or rather I'm mainly interested in fusion power.

Sounds like you might be better off in engineering.
 
would fusion power be mechanical engineering?
 
No, it would be nuclear engineering. MIT, Michigan and Wisconsin all have top programs in the US. Check out their web sites
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
