what about private companies making profits luring researchers?
- conception 5mo agoPrivate companies don’t do basic research.
- jjtheblunt 5mo agothey definitely do for electronics, for example. i've worked in such (Qualcomm, Motorola, Apple) in inner sanctum engineering roles.
- j7ake 5mo agoCheck Physics and Chemistry Nobel prize of last 5 years, Google was involved in half of them.
- xhkkffbf 5mo agoIBM researchers won a few Nobel prizes themselves.
- dcrazy 5mo agoHave things changed since Bell Labs produced the transistor?
- inejge 5mo agoYes. Bell Labs are a shadow of their former glory, when Bell could lavishly fund it, having a quasi-socialist telecommunications monopoly. Private companies don't like to fund research outside of their own domain -- that has been offloaded to federal funding, but (as seen here) it's getting a lot more strings attached.
