IEEE Spectrum July 2005 Samuel K. Moore	The Nanotech Patent Trap Because of the messy patent situation in nanotechnology, customers must live in fear of being sued or license multiple similar patents just to be safe.
IEEE Spectrum July 2005 Terry Costlow	Engineering Salaries Rise Again Wages in the United States grow only slightly, while China and India see double-digit increases
Reason July 2005 Jesse Walker	Artifact: Natural-Born Cyborgs Suddenly, the boundary between body and machine looks blurry.
CIO July 1, 2005 Martyn Williams	Laptops for Schoolchildren MIT is developing a laptop computer that it plans to sell for $100 each to government agencies that will distribute them to schoolchildren.
IndustryWeek July 1, 2005 John Teresko	New Roles For Robots Once viewed largely as a way to save on labor costs, robots today have taken on more significant roles in manufacturing. They're part of global competitiveness plans and are seeing, moving and servicing better than ever.
Technology Research News June 29, 2005 Eric Smalley	Nanowire networks route light Will computer chips using light rather than electricity offer increased computing speed? Research says probably.
Technology Research News June 29, 2005 Kimberly Patch	Physics maps city complexity Researchers used existing biological and social networking models to analyze city streets. Area traffic was directly proportional to the ease of navigation, and street grids were complicated as areas tried to avoid getting too much traffic.
Technology Research News June 29, 2005	Silicon light switch is electric Researchers created a small silicon device, driven by optics, that could result in faster computer chips.
Technology Research News June 29, 2005	Crystal promises more light Spontaneous emission from chip-based devices like light-emitting diodes can lower efficiency and create noise. Researchers have created a device that can harness the energy from the emissions and put them towards positive ends.
InternetNews June 21, 2005 Jim Wagner	Integrated Circuit Co-Inventor Dies at 81 Jack St. Clair Kilby, the man who helped invent the integrated circuit in the 1950s, died following a brief battle with cancer.
