By combining chemicals in containers in the weightlessness of space, 3M's scientists were hoping to make crystals purer than any on earth...
...Would 3M's experiments help improve some of its products? Could future space research yield a thinner, tougher Scotch tape? Perhaps. The only thing that 3M knows for certain is that the promise of manufacturing in space is enormous. So great is it, says Christopher Podsiadly, director of 3M's science research lab, that "we have to keep changing our expectations...

Those companies were singled out not only because of their solid financial performance over the long haul (20 years or more) but also because of other qualities, especially the ability to innovate.
