PNNL wins prestigious R&D 100 awards for five technologies

Richland, Wash. The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been recognized with five 2006 R&D 100 awards.

The R&D 100 Awards are presented annually by R&D Magazine to honor the world's 100 most important scientific and technical innovations. PNNL has now won 72 R&D 100 Awards since the magazine implemented the contest in 1963 65 of those have been won since 1988.

PNNL received the awards for the following technologies:

Cesium-131 Brachytherapy Seed one of the most significant advancements in brachytherapy for cancer treatment in nearly 20 years. It is used for the treatment of prostate and other cancers, and delivers a highly targeted therapeutic dose of radiation to the tumor quickly and with potentially fewer side effects than other treatment options. PNNL shares this award with IsoRay Medical, Inc. of Richland, Wash. The technology also won a 2005 Federal Laboratory Consortium award for technology transfer.

e-RESS - a technology that improves the process for using nanoparticles in coating medical devices - such as cardiovascular stents - allowing for more consistent delivery of pharmaceutical agents and potentially reducing the need for replacement surgeries caused by the build-up of tissue. PNNL shares this award with Micell Technologies of Raleigh, N.C.

The MilliWave Thermal Analyzer a thermal analysis instrument that uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic radiation to measure the temperature, amount of energy emitted, and physical change of materials, processes, and systems. This technology can function under extreme environments (such as very high temperatures) because contact is not required between the instrumentation and the materials; therefore, sampling of the materials is not required and the measurements can be made in real-time. PNNL shares this award with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass., and the Savannah River National Laboratory in Aiken, S
