The award acknowledges groundbreaking research from early-career academic researchers.

The thermochemical reactor can generate the immense heat needed for industrial processes using electricity instead of fossil fuels.

In a single leap from tabletop to the microscale, they have produced the world’s first practical titanium-sapphire laser on a chip, democratizing a once-exclusive technology.

His citation reads, 'for pioneering the invention of Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, the foundation for all current and future broadband wireless communications.’

Researchers created a low-cost, mobile robot that learned to do complex household tasks including cook, put away dishes, and clean up spills.

Her project is titled, 'Aligning with Human Preferences for Safe Autonomous Systems’.'

His citation reads 'For the advancement of varifocal, light field, and holographic near-eye display technologies optimizing perceptual realism and visual comfort for virtual and augmented reality systems.'

Combining advances in display technologies, holographic imaging, and artificial intelligence, researchers have found a way to display full-color, 3D moving images over a direct view of the real world.

His projects ranged from low-level light detection and x-ray image intensification to the design of the nuclear reactor controls of the first SEA WOLF, the second atomic powered submarine.

The program uses a high-powered data-gathering infrastructure to process and study brain activity in real time.
