SRNL Team Wins R&D 100 Award for Advanced Engineered Cellular Magmatics Project
The Savannah River National Laboratory Advanced Engineered Cellular Magmatics (AECM) technology team has been named as a winner for the 2025 R&D 100 Awards.
SRNL Researcher Cory Trivelpiece and his team developed the technology in partnership with Silica-X, Inc. Often called the “Oscars of Innovation,” the R&D 100 Awards recognize the most significant scientific and technological breakthroughs worldwide since 1963. With encouragement and support from lab leadership, SRNL’s Technology Partnership Office identified the AECM project as a candidate for the award. The communication department at SRNL, in partnership with Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, created supporting content and marketing materials to support the application process. This collaborative effort across SRS resulted in the first R&D award in several years.
“I’m incredibly proud of our SRNL team, led by Dr. Cory Trivelpiece, for earning this R&D 100 Award in partnership with Silica-X,” said Dr. Johney Green, SRNL director. “This recognition highlights the power of innovation and reflects not only our world-class science but also the commitment of SRNL and our collaborators to deliver solutions that advance national priorities and create lasting impacts.”
