R&D 100 Awards

RandD100Awards

From 1962 through 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy has supported the basic research for 800 projects that garnered R&D 100 Awards from R&D Magazine for promising technologies, products, or processes -- among the highest number of R&D 100 awards for any government agency or private enterprise.

Widely recognized in industry, government, and academia as a mark of excellence for the most innovative ideas of the year, the R&D 100 Awards are the only industry-wide competition rewarding the practical applications of science.

The R&D 100 Awards recognize the most promising new products, processes, materials, or software developed throughout the world and introduced to the market the previous year. Awards are based on each achievement's technical significance, uniqueness, and usefulness compared to competing projects and technologies.
