What firms and organizations (in the broad sense) are currently the most innovative in the various fields of science and engineering?
In buzzword terms: what workplaces are the most cutting-edge in their research, development and facilities?
>>
harvard
MIT
IAS
ENS
etc.
>>
>>9166267
Google
Fraunhofer
Spin-off-companies from ETH Zurich
>>
>>9166301
Are fraunhofer "famous" outside Germany?
>>
>>9166272
What about private companies, and organizations that don't belong to a university system?

never heard of them personally

The military is the obvious answer.

>>9166369
You mean military contractors.

Yes. Mp3

famous research output != famous researcher

You posted it, it's CERN. As of today they're probably the most 'advanced' place worldwide in terms of the technology they have access to and the kind of research they're doing.
Other than them, you'd want to look at large R&D companies and laboratories with ties to governments and militaries. Northrop, Lockheed, Dassault, Thales, Boeing, NASA (and all the three-letter, non-HUMINT agencies), and other, lesser known actors. Note that it doesn't necessarily have to deal with aerospace and weapons systems, there is a broad range of fields covered by these companies.
Important research is also done at world-class universities like Caltech, or ETH, but private institutions, or institutions that receive direct funding from militaries, generally provide more interesting work and work environments unless your objective is pure math research, in which case you can't beat ENS.
Google, Facebook and co. aren't at the forefront of technological innovation by any stretch of the term.

Funny that you mention it, i was quite impressed by the EMALS on the Ford carrier that's getting released because its firing principles is somewhat the same as a rail gun and it turns out that US Navy pretty much invented the whole railgun and all the working systems that branch off it that have something to do with electro magnets

particle physics and climate science is "in" right now.
In 20 years nobody will care and they'll suck dick for funding just like the rest of us.
In the mid 20th century it was astrophysics/space shit, after that it was chaos theory and now it's particle physics.
Next up is probably plasma physics and fusion stuff.

fuck off poltard, that guy was a fucking autist and was kicked out for the right reasons
>>
>>9166267
So, who's asking and why do you want to know ?
>>
>>9166327
Of course.

t.Scandinavian.

Why do you care?

>Next up is probably plasma physics and fusion stuff.
What else? Or what then?
