Full list of words from this list:

  1. internal drive
    a drive mounted inside of a computer
    Also to explore, and this internal drive brings about novel creations.[6]
  2. organic light-emitting diode
    a self-luminous diode (it glows when an electrical field is applied to the electrodes) that does not require backlighting or diffusers
    For example, the odd metallic color of plastic made by accidentally adding a thousand times too much catalyst led scientists to explore its metal-like properties, inventing electrically conductive plastic and light emitting plastic-—an invention that won the Nobel Prize in 2000 and has led to innovative lighting, display screens, wallpaper and much more (see conductive polymer, and organic light-emitting diode or PLED).[10]
  3. conductive
    able to easily transmit electricity, heat, sound, or other energy
    For example, the odd metallic color of plastic made by accidentally adding a thousand times too much catalyst led scientists to explore its metal-like properties, inventing electrically conductive plastic and light emitting plastic-—an invention that won the Nobel Prize in 2000 and has led to innovative lighting, display screens, wallpaper and much more (see conductive polymer, and organic light-emitting diode or PLED).[10]
  4. skip over
    bypass
    Sometimes inventors skip over the boundaries between distinctly separate territories or fields.
  5. concussion
    injury to the brain caused by a blow
    Taking ideas from primitive culture, much like ancient treatments of concussions and reinvented concussion treatments with the invention of the electrical closet as noted by the Chancellor of Texas Tech University.[5]
  6. exploratory
    serving in or intended for exploration or discovery
    Invention is often an exploratory process, with an outcome that is uncertain or unknown.
  7. cubism
    an artistic movement featuring surfaces of geometric planes
    This is how Cubism, one of the most revolutionary innovations in art came about.
  8. catalyst
    substance that initiates or accelerates a chemical reaction
    For example, the odd metallic color of plastic made by accidentally adding a thousand times too much catalyst led scientists to explore its metal-like properties, inventing electrically conductive plastic and light emitting plastic-—an invention that won the Nobel Prize in 2000 and has led to innovative lighting, display screens, wallpaper and much more (see conductive polymer, and organic light-emitting diode or PLED).[10]
  9. envision
    imagine, conceive of, or see in one's mind
    Inventors often envision a new idea, seeing it in their mind's eye.
  10. indelible
    not able to be forgotten, removed, or erased
    For example, after years of working to figure out the general theory of relativity, the solution came to Einstein suddenly in a dream "like a giant die making an indelible impress, a huge map of the universe outlined itself in one clear vision".[9]
  11. sideline
    a line that marks the side boundary of a playing field
    Inventors feel the need to play with things that interest them, like ringing bells on sidelines.
  12. in a flash
    without any delay
    A novel idea may come in a flash - a Eureka! moment.
  13. inventive
    marked by independence and creativity in thought or action
    Inventive thinking frequently involves combining concepts or elements from different realms that would not normally be put together.
  14. hunch
    an impression that something might be the case
    It may begin with questions, doubt or a hunch.
  15. figure out
    find the solution to or understand the meaning of
    For example, after years of working to figure out the general theory of relativity, the solution came to Einstein suddenly in a dream "like a giant die making an indelible impress, a huge map of the universe outlined itself in one clear vision".[9]
