Technology Research News December 15, 2004	See-Through Circuits Speed up Researchers have moved transparent semiconductors forward with an indium gallium zinc oxide mixture that can be deposited on plastic, is transparent, and potentially performs one to three orders of magnitude better than today's plastic transistors.
Technology Research News December 1, 2004 Eric Smalley	For Pure Nanotubes Add Water Washing away impurities with water turns out to be as good for growing carbon nanotubes as it is for keeping a clean house.
Technology Research News December 1, 2004	Tight Twist Toughens Nanotube Fiber Researchers have strengthened carbon nanotube yarn by introducing a tight twist as the nanotubes are spun.
Technology Research News December 1, 2004	Chemical Keeps Hydrogen on Ice Researchers have devised a new way to store hydrogen at low pressure and a temperature that is just above freezing. The work is a step toward practical hydrogen storage for vehicles.
Technology Research News December 1, 2004	Smart Dust Gets Magnetic One of the main challenges in making labs-on-a-chip is finding ways to control and mix tiny amounts of liquids. Researchers are using minuscule silicon particles to carry out these tasks.
Technology Research News December 1, 2004	Short Nanotubes Carry Big Currents Researchers have developed a simple way to fabricate carbon nanotube devices whose length is as small as ten nanometers, and have shown that electricity can pass through the nanotubes very efficiently.
Reactive Reports David Bradley	Subjective Suboxide Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are probably the best known molecules containing just carbon and oxygen, but they do form others, such as carbon suboxide (C3O2), which is one of the most stable.
Reactive Reports	Star Picks Web links for chemists.
Technology Research News November 17, 2004 Eric Smalley	Nanomechanical Memory Demoed Several research teams have designed nanomechanical memory cells based on carbon nanotubes or buckyballs that could lead to extraordinarily fast, ultrahigh capacity computer memory.
Technology Research News November 17, 2004 Eric Smalley	Nanotubes Tune in Light Carbon nanotubes can act as antennas, but instead of transmitting and receiving radio waves, antennas of their size pick up the nanoscale wavelengths of visible light.
