4 the world of Research & development A world without research and development is a world without progress. A working knowledge of the market, products, and the technologies they build on is crucial before going forward in today s business world. For a half century, R&D Magazine has welcomed those who understand this need to its annual R&D 100 Awards. And as we celebrate the 51st anniversary of the awards, we ll continue to recognize the year s top high-technology products and innovations that help them stand out. Why do we do this? Movie stars have their Oscars; musicians have their Emmys; writers compete for Pulitzers; and the world s top thinkers seek Nobels. Driving Innovation In science, the Nobels are just the tip of the iceberg; R&D Magazine helps hundreds of laboratories, corporations, institutes, universities, and individuals evaluate their finest work and give it a crucial push forward in the marketplace. Over the years, we have recognized the arrival of anti-lock brakes, the cardiac defibrillator, the cash machine, the fax machine, halogen lamps, liquid crystal displays, lab-on-a-chip technology, hybrid engines, high-definition television, and Blu-ray data storage technology. Literally hundreds of other meaningful advances have been subject to the rigorous evaluation of our experts, qualifying the R&D 100 Awards as one of the most relevant awards programs in existence. The R&D Vision: To build, deliver, and grow a community of scientists and innovators who seek and provide answers in research and development through interactive editorial content and interconnected media. To become the standard strategic resource for R&D news, trends, products, and information in core and emerging sectors and the go-to technology forum for professionals in industrial, academic, and government laboratories. The Face of Who are the people behind these award-winning products? They are the innovators in solar cell technology. The team behind the latest fast, green analytical instruments. The leading edge designers of high-resolution electron microscopes. The companies behind next-generation laboratories. The pioneers of sensors, nanotechnology, and computational genomics. In short, the R&D 100 Awards are all about the future of R&D, and R&D Magazine is there to track this progress throughout the year. Widely read by many of the top executives at household names of corporate research, R&D Magazine serves scientists, engineers, and technical staff members at laboratories worldwide, bringing them news, techniques, and product information on the latest and most crucial innovations.
