About the Lab
Lots of inventions need tender loving care to become more than an idea. This Lab is part of Intellectual Ventures‘ efforts to support invention. We work on the very beginning stages of nurturing an idea to prove that it can work and demonstrate its potential. Some of these originated here, others came from outside inventors we work with. We have projects such as deep brain surgery tool; a system to weaken hurricanes; a super-thermos to transport vaccines; and a laser to kill mosquitoes. While most of inventions are available for license by companies who want to incorporate them into their products, many are purely humanitarian projects. We’re excited about working here and are hoping to share some of our projects and more about the lab over time.

We have a lot of people who want to know what it is that we do, and our Blog is crafted in part to give people a glimpse into our world. However, despite our web presence, more and more people want to see it for themselves. While we prefer to talk about the Lab in more casual terms to our visitors – we hold fast to the belief that science can be approachable, cool and fun in addition to being profitable – we think it’s pretty great that enough people want to see the Lab to trigger the making of a Marketing video. Who knows, maybe next we’ll take out a spritely and clever Superbowl ad (we’d also make a pretty sweet halftime laser show). Enjoy.
