Oh yeah sure there are many, but "most" feels like an overreach?
Just off of the top of my head I can think of so many. TV, radar, Penicillin, jet engines, audio cassettes, first programmable computers let alone the ARM CPU you are probably reading this on right now AND the lithium ion battery that is powering it, GSM, DSL, Ariane launchers (not to mention the pioneering German work in WW2), DNA, large hadron collider, MP3, electron microscopes, MRI scanners, the human genome project, TFT screens, IVF and ICSI, the atomic bomb, bagless vacuums - the list is long and varied, and that is just off the top of my head.
Sure the US might have more tech giants than anywhere else, but that isn't where everything happens by a long shot.

Definitely, that's what I'm saying btw. Before WWII most invention and discoveries were actually made in Europe, and even though the US took the leadership after that point (in part thanks to immigration of Jewish or East-European scientists), it never was responsible for “most” of them.
