https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/intotheimpossible A vivid account of
experiments that changed the course of history, leading to some of
the most significant breakthroughs in science. From the
serendipitous discovery of X-rays in a German laboratory to the
scientists trying to prove Einstein wrong (and inadvertently
proving him right) to the race to split open the atom, these
brilliant experiments fundamentally changed our lives. Discoveries
that have helped us detect the flow of lava deep inside volcanoes,
develop life-saving medical techniques like diagnostic imaging and
radiation therapy, and create radio, TV, microwaves,
smartphones—even the World Wide Web itself. Suzanne Sheehy is an
Australian accelerator physicist and is currently a Royal Society
University Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, where she
also teaches graduate-level accelerator physics, and an Associate
Professor in Medical Accelerator Physics at The University of
Melbourne. Dr. Sheehy designs particle accelerators for
applications in areas such as medicine and energy. Her research
projects have ranged from the design of new cancer treatment
accelerators to building scaled-down particle beam experiments --
answering fundamental questions about the physics of beams beyond
the reach of computer simulations. In addition to her career as an
experimental scientist, She is an evangelist for physics. Her 2018
TED talk has been viewed over 1.8M times and she has been an expert
TV presenter for a number of Discovery Channel shows including four
seasons of Impossible Engineering. Ted Talk:
