View source for R&D 100 Press Releases

==[[R&D 100 Press Releases|Press releases]]==
After seeing the references on a couple of the articles, I got curious about tracking the source tree for the press releases.  I wanted to see which sources were quoted most often, where the deepest branching was, etc.  This is the result of that curiosity.  The most referenced source is PR Newswire.  (I suspect PR Newswire's source was EurekAlert, however, since that's where the [http://www.eurekalert.org/doe/ DOE Office of Science's main newsfeed] resides, and they copied the exact same title EurekAlert used.)  The deepest nesting is currently MarketWatch and MSNBC.

*2007.08.07 '''[http://www.anl.gov/Media_Center/News/2007/news070807.html Argonne wins three R&D 100 awards]''' (This was linked on the [http://www.anl.gov Argonne Homepage] for a while.) ([http://www.mcs.anl.gov/news/detail.php?id=55 MCS News])
*:''ARGONNE, Ill. (Aug. 7, 2007) – Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory devised three of the world's top 100 scientific and technological innovations during 2006, as judged by R&D magazine.<br />“Once again, DOE's labs are at the cutting edge of innovation with new technology developments to enhance America's economic and national security,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman. “My heartiest congratulations to the DOE researchers and scientists that have won R&D Magazine's prestigious awards this year.”<br />Argonne Director Bob Rosner also offered his congratulations to the winning scientists. “These awards are a fitting tribute to scientific work of the highest rank, and a testament to the quality of research that happens every day at Argonne,” he said.''

**:''Researchers from the Argonne National Laboratory developed a new method to detect warm chemical gasses set before a cooler background environment. The advantage of the system is that it is passive in nature, and does not send out any signals to detect environmental chemical pollution. In addition, it does not have to receive any actual samples of the chemical gas, and therefore can be located at a distance from a potentially dangerous target being tested.''

I think [http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=186454&cid=15391726 this comment] is slightly funny for my own reasons -- of course, he misses the Greek name at the beginning of the sentence. :)  (I didn't realize my color version of the Chernobyl data was used in that article... You learn something new every day.)
