R&D 100 Awards
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.
