Nancy Sottos and Scott White (Aerospace) were recognized for their development of self-healing materials. Together with their colleagues Jennifer Lewis and Jeffrey Moore (Chemistry) and former PhD student Katie Toohey (TAM) they recently demonstrated a new material that mimics human skin by healing itself time after time using an embedded, three-dimensional microvascular supply network. The awards list, which appears in the magazine's January 2008 issue, honors 50 individuals, teams, companies and other organizations whose accomplishments in research, business or policymaking during 2006-2007 demonstrate outstanding technological leadership.
