Tech Briefs Wants You to Create the Future

Tech Briefs invites you to enter their 17th annual "Create the Future" Design Contest

Tech Briefs Media Group, an SAE International Company, is the publisher of Tech Briefs, the largest-circulation design-engineering magazine worldwide and Aerospace & Defense Technology, and the largest-circulation engineering magazine for the mil/aero market

As an SAE-Society of Automotive Engineers publication, it might be surprising that Tech Briefs organizes a contest that is not focused on the automobile. Surprising or not, it is true.

For example, in 2018 the grand prize went to inventors of a product they call Invisible Glass.
Charles T. Black, Center for Functional Nanomaterials, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY, USA; Andreas C. Liapis, Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Cambridge MA, USA; and Atikur Rahman, Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, Maharashtra, India, created a nanotechnology coating that imparts anti-reflection and water-repellency capabilities to surfaces made of silicon, glass, and plastics like Teflon.

In 2015, 2015, the grand prize went to a team for Development Of A Non-surgical Circulatory Support Device For The Treatment Of Chronic Heart Failure.
Created by Omar Benavides, Benjamin Hertzog, Jace Heuring, Reynolds Delgado, and Will Clifton, Aortix™ augments heart function by accelerating a portion of native blood flow within the pump and pushing it downstream to entrain aortic flow. Strategic placement downstream of the heart allows for combined benefit to the heart, kidneys, and other vital organs while eliminating the common VAD risks of damage to the heart and thrombotic stroke.

WHY THIS MATTERS
Are you developing an innovative technology in ANY field? If so, consider entering the 17th annual "Create the Future" Design Contest
