Here I show you a day in the life as physicist based on my PhD in the Physics at the University of Cambridge! We go inside a world-leading physics lab (with crazy lasers), I show you what my life/routine is like, and also show you how the scientific process REALLY works.
My PhD is based on understanding the fundamental physics of organic materials we could potentially use to build cheaper and more efficient solar panels to help develop renewable energy and solve the climate crisis.

We need more depictions of scientists in movies where nothing works and use an unnecessary amount of expletives when describing their problems. I disagree with the idea that you've wasted a day if you spend it fighting problems and don't mange to get the experiment done. If everything is working as expected are you really even doing research?

damn thats true

From the point of view of a physics undergrad student who has denied it's future due to struggling with mental health for plenty years now, it's quite a interesting feeling that emerge from videos like these. It reminds you that the future itself exists and somehow from that fact a tiny glimmer of effort bursts forth allowing the body to fight for it. Thank you for that!

I love how excited you and your colleagues are! Academia was my biggest disappointment, but it makes me happy to see there are still people passionate about it

can you stack solar panels to extract the maximum amount of power over a range of wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared? and can you use a radioactive gamma ray source and reduce the frequency to a useable frequency or can you find a material that can be used to absorb the gamma ray energy and transform that directly into electricity

i want to go into nuclear engineering hopefully at cambridge or imperial. So its especially cool seeing somebody else who wants to help get rid of oil and coal from as much as possible

If you could have explained what was going wrong that would made the video a little more complete

This is lame… Are these guys paid for this? One day this bunch of laser will be replaced by a smaller apparatus so anyone can use it. It will be the end of this kind of lame research.

wtf are you talking about?

@jodscience3741 5 күн бұрын

@@thecoolguy3498 They are paid for nothing. They publish only to justify their salary. Those publications almost never lead to enhanced technology so it is basically useless. Every lab doing almost the same thing can’t bring anything new. This kind of research really sucks.
