Innovation is the utilization and incorporation of new ideas. Innovation begins with the combining of diverse things, mechanisms, services, technologies, and more, to create new value for society. This Special Feature looks at the possibilities inherent in innovation created through the fusion of research in the sciences and engineering and research in the humanities. We hope that readers of this booklet will gain an understanding of how innovation spreads and go on to become innovators themselves.
