Physical Scientists
Physical scientists study how the world works - from tiny atoms to huge energy systems. They do experiments and find patterns in what they discover, then use what they learn to help solve real problems like making cleaner energy or finding new medicines.

AI already does a real share of this work
AI is used for a real share, around 40% of the day-to-day tasks of the day-to-day tasks in this job today. We have not yet classified what, if anything, structurally protects it, so we make no claim either way about a moat: the exposure score is the measured part. Learn the tools, and build the judgement that stays human.
