<p>I got accepted into a pretty competitive three-year research course in my high school and we must choose a topic. We then email a professor at a local university and ask if they will help us, but they usually accept. I was wondering what topic has a lot of research still being done, preferably in physics. </p>
<p>Any advice/comments would be appreciated. Thank you!</p>
<p>I’m not a physics expert, but the person you e-mail will guide you.</p>
<p>If you live in or near East Lansing, I would look into isotope research–their NSCL is just stellar–or nuclear science at MSU. </p>
<p>If not, then just notify the professor you are contacting about your interest in researching physics and he/she will walk you through the process. You could always specify some interests of yours as well: do you like astronomy, nuclear physics, quantum physics, etc.?</p>
