Bell Labs
Bell Labs is the undisputed fountainhead of modern technology. Founded in 1925, it produced the transistor in 1947, which earned its inventors a Nobel Prize and enabled the entire semiconductor industry. With nine Nobel Prizes among its researchers, its output of pure invention is 30% more prolific than any other corporate lab in history.
