lablet

Etymology

From lab + -let (diminutive suffix).

noun

  1. A small-scale laboratory.“Intel recently killed off its three industrial-research "lablets" in Berkeley, Seattle and Pittsburgh. Hardly anyone seems to have noticed, and that's a terrible shame: Privately funded industrial research has given the U.S. and the world some of the most dazzling engineering innovations in history, and its slow demise could stymie innovation in ways that we may never fully appreciate.”
