Technology Research News September 8, 2004	Pure Crystal Promises Hardy Chips Silicon carbide is hardier than than the plain silicon most computer chips are made from, and so theoretically could be a useful material for computer chips that must withstand extreme environments and high-power applications.
Technology Research News September 8, 2004	Nanoribbons Channel Light Researchers have made crystalline oxide nanoribbons that are capable of carrying light and that are flexible enough to form the patterns needed to carry out logic operations.
Technology Research News August 25, 2004 Eric Smalley	Tools Design DNA-Nanotube Logic Researchers are aiming to make the process of assembling molecular-scale components easier with a suite of computer-aided design tools for designing computer circuits made from carbon nanotubes assembled by DNA.
Technology Research News August 25, 2004	Hybrid Nanowire Makes Transistor One challenge in making minuscule electronic devices from nanoscale components is wiring the components together. Researchers have found a way to transform sections of semiconducting silicon nanowires into metallic, or conducting, nickel silicide.
Technology Research News August 25, 2004	Nanocrystals Spark Efficient LEDs Researchers have found a way to make highly efficient light-emitting diodes from nanocrystals, or tiny bits of semiconductor.
Technology Research News August 25, 2004	Nanotubes Make Fluid Filter Researchers have devised a simple and inexpensive way to manufacture very fine filters from carbon nanotubes. These filters could be used to separate heavy hydrocarbons from petroleum and bacteria and viruses from water.
Technology Research News August 25, 2004	Method Makes Stronger Steel Researchers have found a way to cast relatively large structures from a type of steel whose atomic structure is amorphous, like glass, rather than the usual orderly crystalline structure of metal.
Bio-IT World August 18, 2004 Kevin Davies	In Praise of Chemical Diversity How to build better small-molecule libraries.
Technology Research News August 11, 2004	Single gold atoms altered The gold atom, positioned on an ultrathin film of sodium chloride, remained stable during the operation, despite the change in charge.
Science News August 7, 2004	Whys Guy A link to clips of a physicist at the University of Illinois demonstrating a wide variety of physical and chemical phenomena on a local morning TV program.
