Advanced Frugal Innovations [Leading Edge]

Abstract

Frugal innovations are all the rage. Their appeal stems mainly from lower costs to society at large. The grass roots nature of these innovations has in recent years been complemented by the appearance of frugality in sophisticated products realized through science and engineering. Such advanced frugal innovations (AFI) have appeared in a wide variety of sectors including education, healthcare, defense, astronomy, and particle physics. A distinguishing feature of AFIs other than their low cost, is the application of cutting-edge science and engineering to achieve robust functioning. In other words, AFIs have been realized through the methodical application of scientific principles, as opposed to their grass-roots brethren, which are usually created on a make-shift basis.
