I would recommend you study nuclear engineering.
Most nuclear physicists study the nucleus and other subatomic particles like quarks Some nuclear physicists are more applied science and work on nuclear reactors, but you won't find many.
There has been a lot of experience with breeder...
I have nothing against Mathematica, but its symbolic logic is so powerful that it spoils me.
I am not a pro, but I have been using Mathematica for years for everything I encountered in my course work and data analysis. However, I do not consider myself a programmer by any means. I have...
I was not referring to that actually. I support nuclear, but I will not push it on anyone. It is a country's own prerogative if they want nuclear power.
I have been trying to find some good evidence on Enzo Boschi's misconduct, If you know of any, then could you can add to the other thread...
I can live that, but this makes me want go into fast food industry if this catches on:

Seems like to me the political environment is not science friendly at all, which is ironic considering it...
True, they are legal definitions of course, hazardous waste has to be regulated.
Speaking of industrial waste, Xylene, Toulene, and some variants of Mineral Spirits are aromatic hydrocarbons that can be purchased from any hardware store, usually for thinning paints. I have always wondered how...
I always wondered why one could not use DU for weight plates in lifting. I would think there would actually be a market for them. There are plenty lifters always trying to pack as much weight as possible on barbells. In Olympic lifting they put thick rubber coatings to make them safer. For...
Waste is a subjective term. If I put my soda cans in the trash and it goes to a landfill, then it is pretty much waste even though it can be recycled.
A talented chemist can extract/recover many things from waste and what not. Problem is how expensive it is. Some things are a matter of...
Obviously, it is called waste, because it has been used. Yet, it the term itself is subjective. We can have this debate for many other things. Some say in the future human will end up mining landfills for materials.
Nearly all, if not all, plastics can be recycled, yet most recycling...
Not sure if it can make you filthy rich, but Actuarial Science is probably on of the most lucrative and secure jobs one with can do with mathematics.
They do a lot of risk modeling for insurance companies and financial firms.
That being said, it is a lot of hard work. They have a series...
I apologize for the poor wording, but I would think that isotopic abundance is a more general concept than natural abundance, which is the amount of isotopes of a particular element found in nature.
I would think, but my astronomy background is superficial, that some elements could possibly...
Since this is not a perfect world, bombs will always have some radioactive fall because:
(1) Not all the fissile material undergoes fission and gets blown away.
(2) Whatever fissions will produce radioactive fission products.
(3) There is going to be neutron activation of the...
Well, elements can have different masses, which is due to the number of neutrons. However, they are chemically the same because that depends on the number of protons (atomic number). These care called isotopes i.e. U-233, U-235, U-238, etc. They are all uranium, but differ in neutron number...
I initially would say Mie like "my/pie", but my advisor corrected me and said it was "Me". Yet, someone told me that is wrong and it is "my/pie".
Is there any authority or unanimous agreement on its pronunciation somewhere?
Sorry, for the late replay. I will check into the texts.
Apparently, from some more digging the cameras I am referring are typically called industrial cameras. Unfortunately, some vendors do not have tech notes or tutorials on the general workings of the cameras. I am familiar with the...
Would someone who has been around longer than me know of any books or resources to explain how analog video works.
Most stuff I have found seems to be more software based or are geared towards photography rather than laboratory work.
I have been looking in the literature for my work and some...
