ORNL, UT technologies included in latest “R&D 100 Awards” finalists
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the University of Tennessee (UT) are among finalists that R&D Magazine has just announced for its annual “R&D 100 Awards.”
At times described as the equivalent of the Academy Awards, the recognition, now in its 56th year, have long been considered the most globally prestigious recognition of invention and innovation. The awards recognize 100 of the top innovations across five categories: analytical/test, IT/electrical, mechanical devices/materials, process/prototyping, and software/services.
The finalists were selected by an independent panel of more than 50 judges representing R&D leaders in a variety of fields.
ORNL was named as the primary or sole developer on six of the recognized technologies and was a co-developer on two more including something named the “Mobile Universal Grid Analyzer” where UT was the primary developer.
This year’s “R&D 100 Awards” will be presented at a black-tie ceremony November 16 at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando.
