   Of course physicist could invent whatever they want and have the ability   
   to invent.   
      
   Science isn't organised in 'guilds' and everybody has the right to   
   invent, which would include physicists.   
      
   But mainly the engineers invent things, because they have more training   
   in the use of the required means.   
      
   Also the usual job description of engineers is more related to invention   
   than those of physicst.   
      
   But there exists no laws, that would prohibit inventions by physicists   
   -at least not in Germany. US laws are different, however, and nobody   
   actually knows, what they forbid or demand (besides a set of   
   'sorcerers', which charge insane fees for legal informations).
