R&D managers, scientists, and engineers need to know how the state of the art is advancing, and what new developments may be forthcoming. But researching an emerging technology is a difficult assignment. A search of technical and patent literature often leaves many questions unanswered.

So where can you turn for information on which new technologies are being explored, who is utilizing them, and how they are being applied?
