PC Magazine August 17, 2005 David Murphy	Nail Byting Researchers have managed to encode data on the human fingernail, and they aren't stopping there.
CIO August 15, 2005 Christopher Lindquist	Read the Fine and Fast Print A new printer prototype by Brother Industries can produce at 170 pages per minute. HP has a new printer that will reportedly reduce costs and increase speed. MIT announced a technique that would use DNA for nano-printing.
Military & Aerospace Electronics August 2005	Powergenix Battery Drives Underwater Craft Student engineers at the University of San Diego High School needed a battery to power their underwater remote operated vehicle. They found a solution with the nickel-zinc battery from PowerGenix, San Diego.
Military & Aerospace Electronics August 2005	Air Force Picks ITCN for Embedded Test System The Computer Tester, Analyzer and Controller system provides real-time nonintrusive embedded system monitoring that combines the features of a data acquisition system, in-circuit emulator, logic analyzer, and bus analyzer in one system.
InternetNews August 10, 2005 Susan Kuchinskas	Army on Track With Tank Sensors An IBM set-up could keep military trucks rolling and personnel safer. The set-up would integrate sensor data into information networks, so the information could be used to make intelligent decisions without being on the scene.
Technology Research News August 10, 2005 Eric Smalley	Ice transforms chipmaking Spraying water vapor onto cold silicon could be a simple way to make computer chips. The key is etching nanoscale lines into the resulting ice to make microscopic computer circuits. The process is environmentally friendly to boot.
Technology Research News August 10, 2005 Eric Smalley	Pixels speed quantum crypto Crossing quantum physics with computer displays yields a new way of encoding information in photons. Using photons as pixels lets researchers encode more information per photon, promising higher data rates for quantum cryptography.
Technology Research News August 10, 2005	Textures ID paper and plastic Forgeries, however clever, could be a thing of the past thanks to a method of uniquely identifying paper and plastic surfaces.
Technology Research News August 10, 2005	DNA process stamps patterns DNA's ability to connect matching strands is at the heart of a stamp that promises to bring mass production to the nanoscale.
Technology Research News August 10, 2005	Templates yield nano branches Making highly-branched nanoscale tubes and wires is a matter of easing off the juice by the right amount at the right time.
