2011 R & D 100 Awards Announced

Experts,
editors pick top high technology innovations of the year

ROCKAWAY,
N.J. – The editors of R&D Magazine
have announced the winners of the 49th Annual R&D 100 Awards,
which salute the 100 most technologically significant products introduced into
the marketplace over the past year. Click here for a full list of this year’s winners.

A strong
field of entries this year gave our judges a challenge, but they ultimately
emerged with a list of the top 100 high-technology products for 2011. The
innovations are as wide-ranging as ever: electronic paper, renewable methane, a
3D camera, ceramic capacitors, and a composite bridge all made the grade.

The
R&D 100 Awards have long been a benchmark of excellence for industry
sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software,
manufacturing, and biotechnology. For industry leaders, government labs, and
academic institutions, the awards can be vital for gauging their efforts at
commercialization of emerging technologies. And in winning an R&D 100
Award, developers often find the push their product needs to find success in
the marketplace.

“During
the recent economic downturn, industry, academia, and government labs continued
to innovate. The editors were impressed with the strong field of candidates for
this year’s R&D 100 Awards. The number of entries exceeded that of recent
years,” said Rita Peters, editorial director of R&D
Magazine
.

The
winners represent a cross-section of industry, academia, private research
firms, and government labs. Winning technologies are used in medical,
industrial, research, consumer, and manufacturing applications.

Since
1963, the R&D 100 Awards have identified revolutionary technologies newly
introduced to the market. Many of these have become household names, helping
shape everyday life for many Americans. These include the flashcube (1965), the
automated teller machine (1973), the halogen lamp (1974), the fax machine
(1975), the liquid crystal display (1980), the Kodak Photo CD (1991), the
Nicoderm anti-smoking patch (1992), Taxol anticancer drug (1993), lab on a chip
(1996), and HDTV (1998).

Winners
of the R&D 100 Awards are selected by an independent judging panel and the
editors of R&D Magazine.
The publication and its online portal serve research scientists, engineers, and
other technical staff members at high tech industrial companies and public and
private laboratories around the world.

Winners
will be recognized at the R&D 100 Awards Banquet on Oct. 13, 2011, in Orlando, Fla.
A list of winning innovations is on the R&D 100 Awards website, www.rdmag.com. Additional information,
including registration for the Orlando
event, will be available at that website on July 1, 2011.
