IndustryWeek January 1, 2007 Jill Jusko	Materials -- Shape-Shifting Plastics New class of material can assume different shapes based on heat applications.
Reactive Reports December 2006 David Bradley	Dick Wife An interview with the chemical IT scientist and co-founder of SORD, a scientific publishing company that seeks to solve the problem of organizing the myriad of undocumented chemistry and the chaotic mess of the commercial database.
Reactive Reports December 2006 David Bradley	Molecular Light Switch Vincenzo Balzani's latest chemical nano invention is a molecular scale solar power source, extension cable, and "drain" connection that functions as a signal processor that works in a chemical solution instead of on a printed circuit board.
Reactive Reports December 2006 David Bradley	Blood, Light, and Water Two molecules that occur naturally in blood have been engineered by scientists to use sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Reactive Reports December 2006 David Bradley	Plastic Shape Shifter Temperature-controlled triple-shaped plastics that can change shape from one form to another, then another, have been developed by researchers.
Reactive Reports December 2006 David Bradley	Bedwetting Chemistry A higher concentration of sodium and urea in urine could underlie a type of bedwetting in children that does not respond to common medication.
Reactive Reports December 2006 David Bradley	Rubber Suits You Sir Military personnel, chemical workers, and others could benefit from a new synthetic rubber material tailored with liquid crystals.
