### AI overview

MIT professor Eugene Fitzgerald discusses his book The Invisible Engine: Why Innovation Evades Control, drawing on research programs and his experience co-inventing strained silicon. He describes innovation as an intersection of science, economics, market applications, technology, implementation, and society.

### Source excerpt

In his latest book, Professor Eugene Fitzgerald examines the forces that turn breakthroughs into value -- and why innovation resists simple formulas.
