Published annually by the AUTM, the Better World Report focuses on global health and the role technology transfer plays in the lives and well-being of people everywhere. The theme for the 2010 edition is "Innovation from Academic Research that Positively Impacts Quality of Life". A perfect fit for that theme, MuniRem is a newly-developed technology that cleans up explosives residue and bulk explosives on land and in groundwater, and can be used for decontamination of buildings used in munitions manufacture and processing.
