Technology Research News June 1, 2005	Magnetic Resonance Goes Nano Researchers have built a nuclear magnetic resonance device that has the potential to overcome the quantum bit limit because it is small enough to fit on a computer chip.
Technology Research News June 1, 2005	Lasers Built Into Fiber-Optics Researchers have crossed a gas-filled fiber optic laser with ordinary fiber optics to make a Raman laser and a frequency stabilizer -- devices that provide precise control of laser beams.
Technology Research News June 1, 2005	Nano LEDs Made Easier Researchers have devised a relatively simple method of making arrays of nanoscale light-emitting diodes. The light-emitting diodes could eventually be used in lasers and in nanoscale lamps used in sensors and microscopes, according to the researchers.
Home Toys June 2005 Kenneth Wacks	PlaceLab: A Living Laboratory A major focus of PlaceLab research is preventative health care: technologies and services to help people remain healthy, autonomous, and comfortable in their homes as they age.
IEEE Spectrum June 2005	Ten to Watch Here are some of China's leading technologists: Richard Chang, CEO of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp... Gao Wen, head of China-led international group developing a royalty-free standard called AVS... etc.
IEEE Spectrum June 2005 Marlowe Hood	Running Against The Wind A double-leg amputee and his high-tech prosthetics are blazing a trail into able-bodied sports. Will they be welcomed?
Wired June 2005	NextFest 2005 This summer's NextFest will be an exposition that brings together innovations from top scientists, researchers, and entrepreneurs... Deep Flight's personal submarine flies underwater... HALE remotely operated aircraft... Prometheus Program... etc.
IEEE Spectrum May 2005 Samuel K. Moore	Back From the Brink It was supposed to be easy. Marry two mature technologies--liquid-crystal displays and silicon complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices--and you'd get instant entry to the market for wide-screen, high-definition televisions.
Wired June 2005 Carl Hoffman	The Mad Genius from the Bottom of the Sea Unlimited energy. Fast-growing fruit. Free air-conditioning. John Pina Craven says we can have it all by tapping the icy waters of the deep.
Wired June 2005 Clive Thompson	How to Farm Stem Cells Without Losing Your Soul A solution to the stem cell dilemma that even the Vatican can love.
