Brookhaven Projects Selected as R&D 100 Award Finalists

September 16, 2015

Since 1987, Brookhaven Lab has won more than 30 of the prestigious R&D 100 awards that celebrate the top 100 proven technological advances of the year as judged by R&D Magazine. These technologies include innovative new materials, chemistry breakthroughs, biomedical products, consumer items, testing equipment, and high-energy physics.

Recently, four Brookhaven projects were selected as finalists for the 2015 R&D 100 awards by a panel selected by R&D Magazine. The finalists are: The eValuator-3500: an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) used in medical imaging, CZT-ElectrodePlus: a novel non-metallic electrode contact for use in the fabrication of radiation detectors, aSFCL: Active Superconducting Fault Current Limited for Electric Grid, and Binary Pseudo-Random Calibration Tool: a test surface for determining imaging and profiling instrument modulation transfer functions.

“The Office of Technology Commercialization & Partnerships is excited to have four finalists for the R&D 100 award,” said Connie Cleary. “Our office’s mission is to promote the transfer of Brookhaven Lab’s technologies into the marketplace to benefit society. Being a finalist for the award serves as recognition that Brookhaven research has resulted in a technologically significant product for the year.”

The winners will be announced at the R&D 100 Awards & Technology Conference in November.
