Technology Research News September 22, 2004 Kimberly Patch	Fuel Cell Converts Waste to Power One problem with fuel cells is that they produce carbon monoxide, which can gum up the works. Researchers have found a way to use the carbon monoxide to produce more energy in a reaction that can take place at room temperature.
Technology Research News September 22, 2004	Microscope Etches Ultrathin Lines Researchers have shown that it is possible to match electron beam resolution for organic materials using an ultraviolet laser shown through a near-field optical microscope.
Technology Research News September 22, 2004	Nanowire Makes Standup Transistor Researchers have devised a simple way to make a set of vertical transistors from nanowires.
Technology Research News September 22, 2004	Plastics Ease Nanotube Circuits Researchers have devised a way to make a random, self-assembled network of carbon nanotubes embedded in polymer that preserves the nanotubes' electrical conductivity and is suitable for thermal printing processes.
Technology Research News September 22, 2004	Virus Forms Nano Template Living matter self-assembles into complex organisms that can contain billions of cells, and researchers have tapped biological molecules like DNA and viruses to self-assemble technologically useful structures and materials.
Technology Research News September 22, 2004	Photo Molecules Flip Current Researchers have constructed a photodiode that consists of a mix of slightly different peptide molecules anchored to a gold surface.
Technology Research News September 22, 2004	Nanotubes on Cloth Fire Electrons Researchers have found that nanotubes grown on rough surfaces like carbon cloth can be coaxed to emit electrons using extremely low electric fields.
National Defense October 2004 Joe Pappalardo	U.S. Navy Finding New Applications For Advances In Nanotechnology The Navy is finding a slew of applications for enhanced materials arising from advances in nanotechnology. Scientists believe these improved composites eventually will help the Navy lower the cost of procuring and maintaining ships.
National Defense October 2004 Joe Pappalardo	Improved Metals Applied to Marine Vehicle A process using advanced nano-science in metal processing may provide the material for a tough, lightweight Marine expeditionary vehicle, Navy researchers predict.
National Defense October 2004 Joe Pappalardo	Military Ponders Future of Nanotech While nano-sciences offer an array of potentially useful technology for the Defense Department, not all military researchers have jumped on this bandwagon.
