Description
Progress in fundamental science allows us to get a deeper understanding of how Nature works through great scientific discoveries. Over the centuries this understanding has very much altered the way we live – giving us a better life – providing us with paradigm shifting technologies. From electricity and semiconductor electronics to telecommunications, medical imaging, GPS, and even the World Wide Web—first created at CERN just over 35 years ago—each leap in understanding has sparked technologies that revolutionized society.
In this talk, we’ll explore a few of these paradigm-shifting technologies to show how fundamental science continues to power progress and improve our world.
