Reactive Reports September 2005 David Bradley	Nano Surprise A surprising mechanism by which polymers form nanocomposite particles could provide researchers with a new tool for controlling the growth of such materials.
Reactive Reports September 2005 David Bradley	Urea Clean Up Researchers have shown that urea could be the key element in cleaning up diesel exhausts.
National Defense October 2005 Grace Jean	Nanotechnology Enabling Advances For War Fighters The science of manipulating molecules and atoms holds promise for many industries. Military scientists say nanotechnology will have the most impact upon the individual soldier.
Prepared Foods September 1, 2005	Finding Trans Fat Unexpected Analytical Results Occur as More Than Hydrogenated Oils Contribute Trans Fats.... What Are Trans Fats?... More Than Trans Fat-Free... Blend Back to the Future...
BusinessWeek September 5, 2005 Burt Helm	Horst Stormer And The Next Tiny Thing Scientists are working to harness molecules' natural ability to bond and assemble - and organize into high-performance, nano-size transistors and sophisticated circuits that will make today's computer chips seem like simpletons.
Science News August 20, 2005 Janet Raloff	The Kindest Cuts Are Underwater Chemical analyses and taste tests show that water bath-cut produce remains fresh looking and tasting for 8 to 14 days -- depending on the food -- which is typically 2 to 4 days longer than when the item is sliced in open air.
Reactive Reports Issue 47 David Bradley	Rubens' Lady in Red Turns Monochrome As the red color in a classic painting fades, earlier theories explaining the discoloration are unsatisfying. Investigators uncover the likely chemical reactions.
Reactive Reports Issue 47 David Bradley	Flame-Retardant Dust A new study of human exposure to potentially harmful flame retardant compounds reveals household dust as the main source, rather than animal and dairy products as had previously been supposed.
Technology Research News July 13, 2005	Light Powers Biochip Gears Researchers have fashioned a type of microgear with center slots that pick up the rotational momentum from light, allowing the gears to rotate when illuminated by a type of polarized light. The devices could eventually be used to pump and mix extremely small amounts of chemicals.
Technology Research News July 13, 2005	Self-Assembly Goes Around Bends Researchers have found a way a way to make polymer chains automatically assemble in non-regular patterns, including sharp angles. The method could eventually be used to build precise features as small as ten nanometers.
