Showing results for "Impossible" in Science & Engineering

Bestselling author and peak performance expert Steven Kotler decodes the secrets of those elite performers—athletes, artists, scientists, CEOs and more—who have changed our definition of the possible, teaching us how we too can stretch far beyond our capabilities, making impossible dreams...

When leading Princeton physicist Paul Steinhardt began working in the 1980s, scientists thought they knew all the conceivable forms of matter. The Second Kind of Impossible is the story of Steinhardt’s 35-year-long quest to challenge conventional wisdom. It begins with a curious geometric pattern that inspires two theoretical physicists to propose a radically new type of matter - one that raises the possibility of new materials with never-before-seen properties but that violates laws set in stone for centuries.

Not Impossible is a podcast that asks the question “What if nothing in life is impossible?” It explores inspiring stories about people solving the hardest, most mind-boggling problems in some of the most creative and unimaginable ways. Mick Ebeling, founder of Not Impossible Labs, guides us through uplifting stories of people who've created technology for the sake of humanity.

‘People often say that non-fiction books read like fast-moving thrillers, but this one genuinely does… This is a splendid book – and highly recommended.’ Daily Mail A remarkable piece of investigative journalism into one of the most pervasive and troubling mysteries of recent memory. 01...

Atomic weaponry is widely understood as a story of American scientific achievement—but scientists working in Britain played a vital role in its development. Including Nobel Prize winners and Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, these scientists have long since been forgotten. But without their expertise, Robert Oppenheimer's research at Los Alamos would never have succeeded. Gareth Williams unearths the true story of the top-secret British atomic program, codenamed "Tube Alloys," established in 1940.

This podcast is for technical and scientific founders in Data, Energy, Defense, Agriculture, Aerospace, and Deep Tech who want to turn new ideas into reality. The AI-innovation cycle doesn't use the old rules to scale, so how will really big ideas move from lab to launch to full diffusion? From bio-inspired drones mimicking insect movement, to quantum computing breakthroughs and climate tech moonshots; we help scientific founders, buyers, investors and regulators collaborate to source scalable ideas, go to market, and think through impossible ideas with clear frameworks.

We’re trying to understand how groundbreaking projects happened.

The question of where life originally came from intrigues everyone, no matter whether you are a 7-year-old girl or a distinguished professor. However, there are a variety of different theories about how life came about. In this series, we are will explore the biggest theory in the world today—Evolution! Is it even possible? Join us as we discover the answer to this question.

Think like a physicist. Wonder like a human. Into the Impossible is where Cosmic Conversations happen — uniting Nobel Prize winners, iconoclasts, authors, and technologists to explore reality’s deepest questions. From AI to aliens, from biophysics to the brain, from the cosmos to the multiverse, Brian Keating, Chancellor’s Distinguished Professor of Physics at UC San Diego covers it all. If you’ve ever asked What’s out there? or What’s next?, this is where curiosity meets clarity. Learn to think like this. 🎙 Full episodes, notes & more: briankeating.com/podcast

The tube was out back, 11 feet in diameter, 60 feet long, the unfinished end spiraling into wide ribbons of steel - like a gigantic Pillsbury dough container with its seams gaping open. Behind the tube was a big blue tent known as the robot school, where autonomous welders wheel or crawl along, making the tubes airtight. The goal is to put tracks and electromagnets inside the tube and vacuum most of the air out.
