The collaboratories concept offers a unique solution to this problem: it reduces the distance between laboratories to practically zero, thereby increasing effective communication almost to infinity. The collaboratory endeavor can be especially conducive to interdisciplinary research.

The experimental work was performed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, while the complementary theoretical work was divided between the University of Pennsylvania and Tel Aviv University. An intensive electronic communication between these teams generated 15 joint publications in four years, 13 of which appeared in Physics Review and Physics Review Letters testimony to the synergistic outcome of research involving complementary disciplines and to the viability of the collaboratory concept.

Collaboratory cooperation could also prove essential by allowing institutions to share information and provide real-time professional consultation and thus improve diagnosis and treatment. In short, collaboratories provide fertile ground to enable laboratories with complementary expertise and mutual interests to share information and coordinate research plans irrespective of geographic distance.
