DOE-Funded Research Projects Win 39 R&D Awards for 2010
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Department of Energy researchers have won 39 of the 100 awards given out this year by R&D Magazine for the most outstanding technology developments with promising commercial potential. The coveted awards are presented annually in recognition of exceptional new products, processes, materials or software developed throughout the world and introduced into the market the previous year.
“I want to congratulate all of this year’s winners on their awards and thank them for their work,” Energy Secretary Steven Chu said. “The large number of winners from the Department of Energy’s national labs every year is a clear sign that our labs are doing some of the most innovative research in the world. This work benefits us all by enhancing America’s competitiveness, ensuring our security, providing new energy solutions and expanding the frontiers of our knowledge. Our national labs are truly national treasures, and it is wonderful to see their work recognized once again.”
These awards highlight some of the successes made by the Department’s national laboratories in technology transfer, moving basic research results into commercial products.
Since 1962, when R&D Magazine’s annual competition began, the Department has received more than 800 R&D 100 awards in areas such as energy, national security and basic scientific applications. This year, scientists and engineers from 11 of the 17 DOE National Laboratories and the Y-12 National Security Complex received awards.
R&D 100 awards are selected by an independent panel of judges based on the technical significance, uniqueness and usefulness of projects and technologies from across industry, government and academia. View the complete list of R&D 100 awards.
