MIT Lincoln Laboratory wins four 2011 R&D 100 Awards
Awards recognize innovations in imaging technology, radar sensors,
computing, and biology
Four technologies developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory were named 2011 recipients of R&D 100 Awards. Given annually by R&D Magazine, an international journal for research scientists and engineers, these awards recognize the 100 most technologically significant innovations introduced during the previous year. Recipients of R&D 100 Awards are chosen from hundreds of nominations by an independent panel of evaluators and the editors of R&D Magazine. Winners represent a broad range of technologies developed by industrial enterprises, government laboratories, and university research facilities.
The Laboratory's 2011 award winners are
