Whether LEDs, flat-screen TVs, or MP3, whether computers capable of understanding language or the GMR effect - many of the innovations awarded the Deutscher Zukunftspreis have long since found their way into our daily lives.
Who are the people who invented these things? How did they come up with their ideas? What is drives them forward?
