Science isn't a finite spectrum, so of course there's much to be done in all fields. But this article specifically laments the fact that the term "innovation" is no longer strongly associated with substantive breakthroughs in relatively unknown areas.
Bell Labs pioneered many practical applications of microscience; nanoscience is the next level down that remains vastly unexplored and has very few practical applications associated with it (yet).
