Nanotech Briefs® is pleased to announce the winners of the third annual Nano 50™ Awards, which recognize the top 50 technologies, products, and innovators that have significantly impacted – or are expected to impact – the state of the art in nanotechnology. The winners of the Nano 50 awards are the “best of the best” – the innovative people and designs that will move nanotechnology to key mainstream markets.
Nano 50 nominations were judged by a panel of nanotechnology experts. The technologies, products, and innovators receiving the 50 highest scores were named Nano 50 award winners.
Nanotech Briefs congratulates all of the Nano 50 winners. Join us as we celebrate these innovators, and the technologies and products they’ve created, at the Nano 50 Awards Dinner at the NASA Tech Briefs National Nano Engineering Conference in Boston, November 14 and 15, 2007. Visit www.techbriefs.com/nano for more information.
Congratulations to the third annual Nano 50:
