Four technologies developed or co-developed at Argonne have been recognized with R&D 100 Awards, which highlight some of the best products and technologies newly available for commercial use from around the world. This is the 41st year the technology awards have been given by R&D magazine to recognize the 100 most technologically significant new products from the entries the magazine receives.
In every case these awards represent the outcome of Argonne scientists working closely with industry to apply basic science to meet real needs of the market for benefits to users, said Stephen D. Ban, director of Argonne's Office of Technology Transfer, which drives Argonne's efforts to link companies to appropriate Argonne-developed technologies. "The spectrum of exciting emerging products represented – from membranes for hydrogen production to low-cost housing in developing countries to advanced hybrid vehicle design – is indicative of the contributions scientists at Argonne and other national laboratories are making to improve the quality of life across the planet. Support of basic and applied science by the Department of Energy makes this spectrum possible and will greatly enhance the economy when these applications enter the marketplace.
