A team of research laboratories unconnected to the government unconnected to any business interests, or any of that stuff.

The Laboratory

Because traditional economic theory would say, well, the mountain bike was probably invented by some big bike corporation that had a big R amp D lab where they were thinking up new projects, and it came out of there.

He's at my facility.

Merrick Institute.

But, the interrogation paid off.

At the Curie Institute in Paris.

How many masks do you need?

(Laughter)

We need to discover what those differences are.

Goddard Space Flight Center,

And they are doing it massively.

Now to the ridicule of my colleagues,

And in one of our labs,

Oh. What would you call these laboratories?

Is there any evidence that flies do this?

Oh my gosh! This is incredible. I can't believe this has happened.

I have a scale model here.

These are hopping microbot swarms.

Just a few quick before and after shots.

(Laughter)

If you work for a funding agency or pharmaceutical company,

to the Reeves Electronics Lab.

Do you realise that's the end of you as a scientist?

Sandia Laboratories, huh?

Let's go back to infrastructure.

Which one is likely to fit the bill?

It's the number one source of commerce, and interestingly it dovetails beautifully with over 500 life science companies.

It really is Microsoft's Office. It's Adobe's Photoshop.

This is research can't buy it.

This is a composite taken by Viking in 1976.

Video Look at all this stuff that's here for our campfire. SS

And I'm here to tell you, it's wrong.

Here at the jet propulsion lab, we work on robotic missions.

Dorset Labs says no.

Whereas government money had always been there for basic science and engineering research, we also counted on some companies to do some basic research, but what's happened now is companies put more energy into short term product development than they do in basic engineering and science research.

And this is the biggest biomedical enterprise research in the world.

Rnd, industry cofinancing, Prizes.

Then, what I did is I began researching this promising idea.

Personalized genomic massage, anyone?

You met her at the lab.

They're called mittelos laboratories.

He is studying agriculture.

This actually is one of DARPA's very important

He saw a mouse. He saw the graphical user interface.
