Earth’s-field Resonance Detection and Evaluation (ERDE) Devices
Established in 1963, the R&D 100 Awards is the only S&T (science and technology) awards competition that recognizes new commercial products, technologies and materials for their technological significance that are available for sale or license. 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. This 2021 R&D 100 winner is listed below, along with its respective category.
Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos National Laboratory
United States
Product Description:ERDE is a portable nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer that employs Earth’s magnetic field and can be used anywhere. ERDE provides rapid, accurate, and safe identification of chemicals. Demonstrated on numerous materials and smaller than a microwave oven, ERDE offers higher resolution signatures than conventional superconducting NMR spectroscopy.
