Technology Research News January 12, 2005	Silicon Surfaces Speed Circuits Researchers have devised a way to use the chemistry of silicon surfaces to make smaller chip features.
Technology Research News January 12, 2005	Branchy Molecules Make Precise Pores Researchers have found a way to coax a material containing microscopic pores to assemble from two very different types of molecules. The material could be used as packaging material for microscopic electronics, to store gases, and to deliver tiny amounts of drugs to very specific places.
Technology Research News December 29, 2004	Coated Nanotubes Make Biosensors Researchers are using carbon nanotubes to sense single molecules, and are tapping the way carbon nanotubes give off near-infrared light in order to read what the sensors have detected.
Technology Research News December 29, 2004	Molecular Motor Goes Both Ways Researchers have constructed a molecular motor that can spin in either direction, much like the biological molecular motors involved in many of life's processes. The motor could eventually be used in nanotechnology applications.
Technology Research News December 29, 2004	Solar Cell Teams Plastic and Carbon Researchers have fabricated an inexpensive, plastic-based solar cell that has the potential to be fairly efficient
Technology Research News December 29, 2004	DNA Makes and Breaks Particle Clumps Nanotechnology is all about manipulating materials on the molecular scale. Many teams of researchers are using artificial strands of DNA to do so.
Technology Research News December 29, 2004	Sapphire Steps Shape Nanotubes Arrays Researchers have found that it is possible to grow carbon nanotubes along atom-size steps on a sapphire surface.
Technology Research News December 15, 2004 Kimberly Patch	Molecule Harvests Water's Hydrogen The key to producing clean hydrogen energy is finding a non-polluting method to extract pure hydrogen from its most abundant source, water. Researchers have developed a supramolecular complex that could be used in devices that use light energy to extract hydrogen from water.
Technology Research News December 15, 2004	DNA Makes Nanotube Transistors Researchers have harnessed the self-assembly abilities of DNA to construct field-effect transistors from carbon nanotubes.
Technology Research News December 15, 2004	Aligned Nanotubes Accommodate Bone Researchers have found that artificial joints can be improved by mimicking the alignment of collagen fibers and natural ceramic crystals in real bones using today's nanotechnology techniques.
