NanoOpto Named Manufacturing Leader on the Scientific American 50
Scientific American's Debut List Recognizes Science and Technology Contributions from Many FieldsSomerset, NJ. November 11th, 2002
NanoOpto Corp., which is
applying proprietary nano-optics and nano-manufacturing technology to
design and make components for optical systems and networks, announced
today it has been named by Scientific American magazine as one of the
Scientific American 50 - the noted magazine's first list recognizing
contributions from the past year to science and technology providing a
vision of a better future.
NanoOpto has been named a Company Leader in Manufacturing for its work
in developing its innovative molding processes as a tool for making
better optical circuitry.
"NanoOpto is extremely honored to be included on the Scientific American
50, and recognized by Scientific American magazine for our manufacturing
excellence," said Barry Weinbaum, President and CEO. "In 2002 NanoOpto
moved the manufacturing of nano-structure based optics from research to
reality by creating a state-of-the-art nano fabrication facility that is
already generating first products. The combination of flexible
nano-optic design and rapid, high volume manufacturing promises to
dramatically change the costs of creating optical circuits.
Said Editor-in-Chief John Rennie, "Scientific American editors wanted to
recognize some of the most outstanding visionaries who are advancing
technology and guaranteeing a brighter future for all of us. Scientists
aren't the only ones doing this. That is why Scientific American 50
includes business leaders, policy leaders, companies and other
organizations that influence how society puts innovations to good use."
Selected by the magazine's Board of Editors, the Scientific American 50
spotlights a Business Leader and a Research Leader of the year, in
addition to citing accomplishments in the following categories:
Agriculture, Chemicals and Materials, Communications, Computing,
Defense, Energy, Environment, Manufacturing, Medical Diagnostics,
Medical Treatments, Transportation and General Technology. Each
category recognizes a Business Leader, Policy Leader, Company Leader and
Research Leader.
