Oleo Sponge, a technology for cleaning oil spills that was invented by Argonne researchers, has been nominated by The Index Project for a 2019 Index Award.
The Index Project is a Danish nonprofit organization that promotes designs aimed at the improvement of life worldwide. The biennial Index Award is the world’s biggest design award program.
An awards ceremony will be held Friday, Sept. 6, 2019, in Copenhagen, Denmark, but in addition to the five awards that will be handed out at the ceremony, there is also a People’s Choice award. The winner of the People’s Choice award will be based on voting at The Index Project’s Facebook page.
