Right, I'm sure quantity of chemical, concentration of chemical, as well as what chemicals one is around would determine what is the most "dangerous" chemical is for someone.

I imagine without the hardware being developed, algorithms couldn't be developed either?

When I was talking about foreign students, I was talking about universities in the EU attracting foreign students from outside the EU. Quite a few countries in the EU require tuition fees (in some countries is can be quite substantial, like Denmark) for non-EU applicants unless they win a scholarship. Some federal states in Germany have also done the same. Therefore, they are adopting the US neo-liberal market idea of using foreign students as cash cows. Yes I was already aware about the differences in funding.

I agree with you on that aspect of things. I think the efforts to attract students to study a field are far more indirect in France and Germany, such as through science shows funded by the government but most universities definitely don't have sports teams that are televised and broadcast on people's phones. I think there are a few departments that try to attract non-EU students for diversity purposes.

Perhaps. Granted this is totally not my area, I'm just curious because of all the hype I hear about it, which, I assume is mostly hype.

How long will it take for quantum computing to actually be used in labs, or thinking further out, commercially? Is it true that it could possibly take decades? I've heard that right now it's not feasible but I guess people are still researching (from my understanding) what would necessary to create a quantum computer, how fast those would be etc.?

I guess how are you defining PR work? I think that the EU and specific countries within the EU (I.e. Germany) still do science outreach work in various media outlets, perhaps it is less sensational and less about gaining more funding or popularity for research. I think there's an overlap between the course offerings in the university of applied sciences and the technical universities, but there are some degree programs that Only "Technische Hochschule" or "Fachhochschule" have.

Just butting in randomly. Where can I find some books that talk about this? I have a background in mathematics but not so much in physics, is this stuff covered in the foundational texts of classical electrodynamics?

Hello there everyone. I'm curious about where the boundaries between applied physics and engineering physics are or if it's just a naming convention at some universities? Not to mention some universities call it technical physics? The main thing I can think of is that some engineering physics programs allow you to become a licensed engineer while that's not necessarily the case for many programs called "Applied physics". Not to mention that "applied physics" probably has a larger focus than engineering physics, focusing on experimental aspects that probably have nothing to do with machinery or technological development.
