Opportunities in geophysics
Physics Today 24 (2), 23–26 (1971);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3022563
Challenging jobs still exist here for physicists–exploring for oil, studying ocean‐wave propagation, analyzing the behavior of water in clouds…
Plasma Physics Applied to Cosmology
Physics Today 24 (2), 28–33 (1971);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3022564
It is time for a fresh approach to cosmical electrodynamics. Instead of searching for new laws of physics we should be trying to find out how to use the laws we already know.
Mössbauer spectroscopy and biophysics
Physics Today 24 (2), 35–40 (1971);
