收集 Archive enables discovery of fundamental engineering and technology content through the digitization of the entire Science Abstracts collection – it extends 收集 coverage by 70 years and adds over 873,000 additional records to the 收集 database.
From wireless power transfer to energy harvesting and fuel cells, the Science Abstracts series recorded the work of innovators of the past who laid the early groundwork for many of the hot topics in science and technology being developed today.
帮助 your research teams prepare innovative research based on solid foundations. Locate references to this historic research and the engineering breakthroughs of scientists and engineers including Albert Einstein, 托马斯·爱迪生, 尼古拉·特斯拉, Guglielmo Marconi, 马克斯·普朗克, Ernest Rutherford and Marie Curie.
Not only does the Archive give access to the work of famous scientists, but it also gives access to the often-forgotten works (sometimes known as “sleeping beauties”) that may be of use in assessing the validity of current patents. An idea suggested decades ago that did not develop then, may be of relevance today.
Access to historic content helps students and researchers understand how academic thought has changed over time and provides insights that can be applied to current endeavors:
- How does understanding foundational research put current knowledge into context?
- What insights can you gain from how a field has developed over the last century?
- Can you discover a forgotten work that shapes the future of research in your field?
