[Opening hook — what was the problem you were trying to solve, and why does it matter? Write one or two sentences that would make a non-physicist curious.]
The problem
[Describe the challenge or research question in plain terms. Avoid jargon where possible. If you need technical terms, define them briefly.]
The approach
[Walk through your methodology. What tools, equipment, or techniques did you use? If it was computational, what was the model or algorithm? If experimental, what was the setup?]
- [Step or component 1]
- [Step or component 2]
- [Step or component 3]
Results
[What did you find? Be specific about numbers, efficiency gains, or conclusions. This is the most important section — don't undersell it.]
What I took away
[Beyond the technical result — what skills did you develop? What surprised you? What would you do differently?]
