Reactive Reports Issue 41 David Bradley	Picking up the Sweat Scent Newly discovered sulfur-containing scent molecules in sweat produced by a bacterial enzyme point to our smelly past and could lead to an odor-free future.
Reactive Reports Issue 41 David Bradley	Implantable Chips This pioneering work in making single-crystal silicon bioactive is important to biomedical microdevices such as MEMS and biosensors.
Reactive Reports Issue 41 David Bradley	I Can See Clearly Now Patients could recover from cataract surgery a lot quicker thanks to the development of a new, adhesive hydrogel that can be painted over incisions in the eye.
Technology Research News October 20, 2004	Mechanical valve design goes nano A combination of molecular modeling and classical engineering techniques were used to design a nanomechanical fluid valve that could (in 10 years) be used for drug delivery, biological and chemical testing, and fuel delivery for microscale and nanoscale engines.
Industrial Physicist Oct/Nov 2004 Eric J. Lerner	Less is More with Aerogels With the lowest density, highest thermal insulation, lowest refractive index, and highest surface area per unit volume of any solid, aerogels exhibit remarkable properties and now this laboratory curiosity is showing some practical uses.
Reactive Reports Issue 40 David Bradley	A Golden Glow A new class of quantum dots made from small clusters of gold atoms is at the heart of fluorescing "artificial atoms" that could act as biological labels and nanoscale optoelectronics.
Reactive Reports Issue 40 David Bradley	Sexy Elephant Protein Elephant sex is quite surprising, not because of the sheer bulk of the beasts involved and the forces they employ, but because of the rather circuitous route taken by the sex pheromones exuded by the female.
Reactive Reports Issue 40 David Bradley	That INChI Feeling Researchers have worked to develop a means for identifying chemical structures on a computer without having to work out a complex, standard nomenclature for each one.
Reactive Reports Issue 40 David Bradley	Lighting Up with Nanowires Semiconductor nanowires are beginning to emerge as rather versatile building blocks for creating photodetectors, LEDs and lasers
Reactive Reports Issue 40	Star Picks Some great web sites for chemical and biological reference sources.
