What is technology transfer? How is it important in technological field?

when discussing the the properties of a radioisotope, what is meant by its activity, and a biological half life thanks Pavadrin

It seems to me that in the last decade or more technical know how is no longer so important for companies. I have the impression that personality modes, human networks, who you know, AND ESPECIALLY HOW YOU BEHAVE is much more important. Now this may have always been true to some degree but it...

Why is Japan one of the top countries in science and technology ( G-8 )? Many American technological experts see Japan as a country that modify the existing technology not as a pioneer country. Why do they rank Japan as one of the leading countries ( G-8 ) in the world? Is there any major...
