Biosciences Technology Recognized with R&D 100 Award

November 10, 2016

R&D100-logo

The Compact Dynamic Beamstop (CDBS), a compact, customizable tool for X-ray scattering experiments providing real-time data, developed by Diane Bryant and Simon Morton of the Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging Division, has been recognized with a 2016 R&D 100 Award. It was one of 100 technologies and services introduced last year deemed most significant by an independent panel of judges.

R&D Magazine‘s R&D 100 Awards, established 54 years ago, presented this year’s awards at the November 3 annual black-tie awards dinner in Washington, D.C. Four other technologies developed by researchers at Berkeley Lab­ were among the awardees, including enabling energy-saving cool roofs, long-lived lithium-sulfur batteries, safer drinking water, and reduced carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Lab-Developed Beamline Tool Launched by Licensee

September 1, 2016

Simon Morton and Diane Bryant

Based on a beamstop technology licensed from Berkeley Lab earlier this year, MiTeGen LLC has launched the Sentinel™ Real-time Intensity Monitoring Beamstop System for X-ray beamlines. The device improves data collection from X-ray scattering experiments conducted by researchers seeking potential treatments for cancer, AIDS, Ebola, and other diseases.

The Compact Dynamic Beamstop technology developed by Diane Bryant and Simon Morton (pictured) at the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology and licensed by MiTeGen was named a finalist in the 2016 R&D 100 Awards earlier this month, along with six other Berkeley Lab technologies and one multi-lab collaborative effort. Recently, the developers and MiTeGen staff presented the device at the 2016 American Crystallographic Association meeting in Denver.

Biosciences Technology Among R&D 100 Award Finalists

August 18, 2016

R&E100 Award logo

A technology developed by Diane Bryant and Simon Morton, of the Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging Division, has been named a 2016 R&D 100 Award finalist. The Compact Dynamic Beamstop (CDBS), a compact, customizable tool for X-ray scattering experiments providing real-time data, is one of seven Berkeley Lab technologies plus one multi-lab nomination including the Lab that made the list of finalists.

Widely recognized in industry, government, and academia as a mark of excellence for the most innovative ideas of the year, the R&D 100 Awards are the only industry-wide competition rewarding the practical applications of science. They recognize the most promising new products, processes, materials, or software developed throughout the world and introduced to the market the previous year. This year’s 100 award winners will be announced in November.
