Containment thread for physicists.

What are you currently working on? What topics are on your mind?

>> No.9652294

studying the optical properties of 9,10-Bis(phenylethinyl)anthracen in various forms and solutions. The end game is building a quantum cascade laser out of it that can change its wavelength.

"""Developing""" a """novel""" large-area, high-sensitivity detector for an experiment searching for rare decays.
My thesis is on the design, construction, and calibration of this detector, but I have done none of the above. What a bunch of shit.

No, nothing to do with CERN.

How so?

>> No.9653844

>>9653839
I have not had any say or had the opportunity to take part in the design, and I won't be building it.
It's literally going to be a thesis about work I didn't get to do.

Chemist here, what will you be looking at?

It's 2018. I think it's time to fix physics once and for all, and that means ditching the metric system as soon as the kilogram problem is solved and embrace the Planck units. However, Planck units are dimensionless, which triggers physishits because half of their result-checking tools rely on dimensional analysis. How do we go about designing an alternative to dimensional analysis?
