DOI: 10.1063/PT.4.1542
Five finalists have been chosen for the first APS Prize for Industrial Applications of Physics, launched this year. Sponsored by General Motors and presented biennially, the Prize recognizes cutting-edge technologies, especially by physicists working in smaller companies.
The finalists are:
Jason Ensher and Susan Hunter InPhase TechnologiesFor: Applying tunable External Cavity Laser Diodes (ECLDs) to holographic data storage
Andrew McDowell ABQMRFor: Developing the first hand-held detector capable of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of hydrogen
Roy Rand ImatronFor: Contributing to the development of an innovative cardiac CT scanner
Richard Ruby, John Larson and Paul Bradley Avago TechnologiesFor: Developing filters and duplexers using FBAR (free standing bulk acoustic resonator) technology
Philip Wyatt Wyatt Technology CompanyFor: Pioneering the commercialization of laser light scattering (LLS), a method with much practical benefit for both the chemical and pharmaceutical industries
