AI Thread Summary
Choosing advanced papers requires careful consideration of field saturation and emerging trends. High impact factor journals often highlight currently hot fields, but the most promising topics may not yet be published. Developing intuition about these emerging areas is essential, which can be achieved through continuous reading and preparation of publications. This process helps identify where significant contributions can be made in the evolving landscape of research.

I'm having trouble choosing my advanced papers. So I want to know which fields are saturated and which are the hot ones right now.

Hot fields can be found in high impact factor journals. But really hot fields are not published yet, and may appear in the next weeks! To guess the really hot topics, you would have to build your own intuition. To build it, just keep reading and preparing publications. Then, step by step, you find the place where you can really do something.

Thanks a lot.
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
