Kodak revamps research to focus on digital products

New York Times: Kodak, which once considered itself the Bell Labs of chemistry, has embraced the digital world and the researchers who understand it.

“The shift in research focus has been just tremendous,” said John D. Ward, a lecturer at the Rochester Institute of Technology who worked for Kodak for 20 years.

Indeed, physicists, electrical engineers and all sorts of people who are more comfortable with binary code than molecules are wending their way up through Kodak’s research labs.
