#  R&D 100 CBRN Award winners

 Written by Gwyn Winfield on 26 November 2015.

The R&D Awards are now in their 53rd year and claim to be the “Oscars of Invention.” Their website describes them as identifying and celebrating the 'top technology products of the year. Past winners have included sophisticated testing equipment, innovative new materials, chemistry breakthroughs, biomedical products, consumer items, and high-energy physics. The R&D 100 Awards spans industry, academia, and government-sponsored research.

Anyway, out of the whole gamut of detector companies out there the following managed to walk away with one of these 'Oscars'
