APPEAL-8 - Misadventures Along the Path to Big Physics Discoveries
Stories of science are filled with eureka moments—from Archimedes’ bath to Newton’s apple—but the scientific method or procedure of discovery also includes false starts and mistakes that are essential to longer-term success. The scientific method is characterised by the systematic observation, measurement and experiment as well as the formulation, testing and modification of hypotheses – for which critical analysis and thinking form a central part of the process.
To sign up for the event, please register your details here: https://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/my-forms/appeal-8-registration
Please email schools.liaison@physics.ox.ac.uk if you have any questions.
Timetable information will be updated here and we will send a finalised copy in the lead up to the event: https://indico.cern.ch/event/613680/page/9634-home

Centre for Applied Superconductivity open for business
For an idea in physics to have real-world impact, you need an unbroken chain stretching from physics, through materials discovery and development, and right along to industry. Joining up these disparate areas in the field of superconductor research is the aim of a new Centre for Applied Superconductivity (CfAS), a collaborative effort between local industrial companies and Oxford University’s Departments of Materials and Physics.
