Innovation occurs at
many scales. As they seek new ways to manage change,
engineers are developing increasingly precise processes
and ever-smaller devices—some measuring millionths
or even billionths of a meter. The images below illustrate
cutting-edge innovations that represent promising frontiers
for engineering.
