 Research Engineer, Inventor


Notes:

•  Winner of the 2010 Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Award for his research leading to "programmable" magnets.

•  "People look at magnets as having a north pole and a south pole. That limits your thinking," he says. "I came along from the field of radar and said, "Hey, that's not a magnet, it's a vector field!" Larry Fullerton quote in "Multipolar Magnets - Breakthrough Award Innovator" - Popular Mechanics - Popular Mechanics
