How Thomas Edison laid the foundation for the modern lab (video)

WASHINGTON, June 2, 2014 鈥� Thomas Edison is hands-down one of the greatest inventors in history. He also had a love of chemistry that banished him to the basement as a kid.

Recently named a National Historic Chemical Landmark, the complex is home to more than 400,000 artifacts (which we definitely weren鈥檛 allowed to touch) and is considered the template for modern research-and-development labs everywhere.
