The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Ian Spielman is highlighted in the November, 2010, issue of Popular Science, where the magazine's editors have named him to their annual "Brilliant Ten" list.

Spielman was lauded for his atomic physics work, which one day could help solve problems associated with creating high-temperature superconductors and quantum computers. The story appears on pp. 74-75 of the issue.

Each year, the magazine queries academic department heads, journal editors and professional organizations about the most creative and important research in the country and the individuals making it happen.
