What's the locus of creativity in the brain? That's a question scientists are investigating for several years now and the dominant conclusion seems to be -- creativity is distributed across the brain.

Researchers suggests so, through a first-of-a-kind series of experiments on logical reasoning of infants, who have barely started developing language skills.

It was the genius of Kelly Johnson of Lockheed's Advanced Development Programs that delivered a fully functional jet in a record 143 days with just about 23 design engineers and 30 mechanics. Complete autonomy, a focused team, and a pack of above-average talent is what makes impossible a habit. Read more about the ingredients. (Source: Fast Company)
