Abstract
Basic research often does not have an earlier sign of whether and how it might be practically valuable. Research has found a recurring pattern that many scientific breakthroughs emerge as multiple lines of research converge. The question is: Is it possible to recognize a fruitful path ahead of time? In this chapter we discuss lessons learned from studies of both hindsight and foresight of identifying and recognizing the most important discoveries and innovations.
