Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists and engineers have earned three awards among the top 100 inventions worldwide. The trade journal R&D World Magazine recently announced the winners of the awards, often called the “Oscars of innovation,” recognizing new commercial products, technologies and materials that are available for sale or license for their technological significance. With this year’s results, the Laboratory has now collected a total of 182 R&D 100 awards since 1978. Submitted through LLNL’s Innovation and Partnerships Office, these awards recognize the impact that Livermore innovation, in collaboration with industry partners, can have on the U.S. economy as well as globally.
