An in-depth look into what space means to scientists by exploring the work its customers and collaborators are doing in the research of gravitational waves, as well as the significance of space innovation in the research lab setting, and the design of laboratory equipment. Interviewees include: Dan Watch from the architecture firm Perkins and Will, who says efficient labs should have flexible building designs for optimal usage of space, 3D modelling, and open concept layouts; Shane Tichy, R and D Manager for Agilent's LC/MS Single and Triple Quadrupole business, who says that the most important thing to note when designing and developing lab equipment is to make them as compact as possible without compromising efficiency, which they achieved with the Ultivo Triple Quadrupole LC/MS mass spectrometer.
