Science News May 15, 2004	Chem Demos The Chemistry Learning Center website at the University of Illinois offers tantalizing glimpses of methanol combustion, electrolysis of water, hydrogen ignition, the effect of liquid nitrogen on a rose, an ammonium dichromate volcano, and more.
Technology Research News May 5, 2004	Nano Test Tubes Fabricated Researchers have found a way to make minuscule test tubes from carbon and silica nanotubes.
Technology Research News May 5, 2004	Nano Wires Make Tiny Compasses Researchers have built compass needles as small as 20 by 200 nanometers, which could be used to measure magnetic fields at the nanoscale and to orient nanosized wires during the process of building molecular-sized structures.
Technology Research News April 21, 2004	Magnets Align Nanotubes in Resin Carbon nanotubes have great potential as components of new materials but aligning the tiny tubes can be tricky. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Florida State University have developed a way to orient the nanotubes in a polymer mix using a magnetic field.
Reactive Reports Issue 37 David Bradley	Magnetic Plastics Cheap, lightweight, non-metallic magnets could result from the discovery of badly behaved electrons in a new type of free radical discovered by US researchers.
Reactive Reports Issue 37 David Bradley	Chemists Hail a New Antioxidant A new family of antioxidants that are 100 times more effective than Vitamin E could be used at much smaller doses in dietary supplements and cosmetics but provide the same benefits.
Technology Research News April 7, 2004	Fiber spun from nanotube smoke Researchers from the University of Cambridge in England have developed a relatively simple way to manufacture continuous fibers of carbon nanotubes.
Technology Research News April 7, 2004	Nano ribbons coil into rings Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have found a way to coax microscopic zinc oxide ribbons to spontaneously coil, slinky-like, into perfect rings.
Technology Research News April 7, 2004	Simulation maps nano patterns Researchers from the University of Michigan have used a computer simulation to develop a method of chemically building nanoscale patterns on a surface.
IndustryWeek April 1, 2004 John Teresko	3-D Chemistry Builds Complex Micro-Structures Try it for complex structures that would be difficult to build layer-by-layer with 2-D lithographic processes.
