Dubbed " The Wizard of Menlo Park " ( now Edison, New Jersey ) by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.

With Menlo Park, Edison had created the first industrial laboratory concerned with creating knowledge and then controlling its application.

All of the elements with higher atomic numbers, however, have been first discovered in the laboratory, with neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium and californium later also discovered in nature.

The first true vacuum triodes in production were the Pliotrons developed by Irving Langmuir at the General Electric research laboratory ( Schenectady, New York ) in 1915.

Evangelista Torricelli produced the first laboratory vacuum in 1643, and other experimental techniques were developed as a result of his theories of atmospheric pressure.

In 2002 it was reported that poliovirus had been synthetically assembled in the laboratory, representing the first synthetic organism.

** Plutonium is first synthesized in the laboratory by a team led by Glenn T. Seaborg and Edwin McMillan at the University of California, Berkeley.

As a new type of nuclear reaction, it was proposed to explain reports by experimenters of anomalously high energy generation under certain specific laboratory conditions.

A miniature replica of a proposed design, about one foot ( 0. 3 m ) in diameter, can be tested and the laboratory measurements applied to the final application with high confidence.

In 1966 Davies proposed that a network should be built at the laboratory to serve the needs of NPL and prove the feasibility of packet switching.

* Jakob Segal, a former biology professor at Humboldt University in then-East Germany, proposed that HIV was engineered at a U. S. military laboratory at Fort Detrick, by splicing together two other viruses, Visna and HTLV-1.

In 1942, Jemez Springs was the second choice ( after Oak City, Utah ) for the location of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the proposed Manhattan Project research laboratory, but Los Alamos was chosen instead.

Initially the countercurrent exchange mechanism and its properties were proposed in 1951 by professor Werner Kuhn and two of his former students who called the mechanism found in the Loop of Henle in mammalian kidneys a Countercurrent multiplier and confirmed by laboratory findings in 1958 by Professor Carl W. Gottschalk.

In 1979, Jaak Panksepp proposed a connection between autism and opiates, noting that injections of minute quantities of opiates in young laboratory animals induce symptoms similar to those observed among autistic children.

Two days later, Muybridge and Edison met at Edison's laboratory in West Orange ; Muybridge later described how he proposed a collaboration to join his device with the Edison phonograph — a combination system that would play sound and images concurrently.

In 1887, Pekelharing and Winkler were recalled, but before their departure Pekelharing proposed to the Governor General that the laboratory which had been temporarily set up for the Commission in the Military Hospital in Batavia should be made permanent.

Alfvén proposed the use of plasma scaling to extrapolate the results of laboratory experiments and space plasma physics observations to scales orders-of-magnitude greater ( see box ).

In 1948, Figge with co-workers showed on laboratory animals that porphyrins exhibit a preferential affinity to rapidly dividing cells, including malignant, embryonic, and regenerative cells, and because of this, they proposed that porphyrins should be used in the treatment of cancer.

The Research Society started functioning in 1965 in the Skin & Serology Department building on the second floor with an office and research library and a proposed space for a research laboratory.

A research laboratory to extract venom from snakes is proposed to be set up here.

An expert panel convened at the 2006 Ultra-Low-Level Radiation Effects Summit at Carlsbad, New Mexico, proposed the construction of an Ultra-Low-Level Radiation laboratory.

The expert panel believes that the Ultra-Low-Level Radiation laboratory is the only experiment that can explore with authority and confidence the effects of low-level radiation ; that it can confirm or discard the various radiobiological effects proposed at low radiation levels e. g. LNT, threshold and radiation hormesis.

When Bhabha realized that technology development for the atomic energy programme could no longer be carried out within TIFR he proposed to the government to build a new laboratory entirely devoted to this purpose.

It has also been proposed that a laboratory to extract venom from snakes for purposes of research be set up here.

A new proposed toxin laboratory was never built.
