"ORNL researchers push the edge of innovation," said ORNL Director Stephen Streiffer. "The R&D 100 Awards showcase the far-reaching and impactful work they do to address national challenges through science and technology."
R&D World magazine announced the winners from a selection of 141 finalists representing 16 countries and regions. ORNL either led or played a role in 24 of the projects named as finalists.
