“When you think of the Hubs, think of large, mission-oriented research efforts such as the
Manhattan Project at Los Alamos or America’s great industrial laboratories in their heyday.great industrial laboratories in their heyday.
This type of research at AT&T’s Bell Laboratories gave us the transistor that powers
modern electronics.”
