New Book: 'The Engine of Scientific Discovery'
Tuesday 24 February 2026

CPNSS Research Associate Alexander Krauss has published his new book 'The Engine of Scientific Discovery: How New Methods and Tools Spark Major Breakthroughs' with Oxford University Press.
How do we spark new scientific discoveries? Why do some breakthroughs seem accidental? And how can we accelerate discovery and push the boundaries of science? What if the next great breakthroughs depend not just on asking better questions, but on developing better tools to ask and answer them—on entirely new ways of discovering? This book is for anyone who wants to understand how we make discoveries—and what drives science.
