Military & Aerospace Electronics March 2006	Corning NetOptix Provides Optical Components for NASA Mission to Pluto The New Horizons craft began its Pluto journey with seven specialized scientific instruments for gathering new information-including components for the "Ralph" telescope assembly manufactured at the diamond-turning team at Corning NetOptix.
Military & Aerospace Electronics March 2006 Ribault & Bailey	Adoption of Assertion-Based Verification Improves Debug and Design Quality France's Thales Airborne Systems has adopted an assertion-based verification approach to design verification FPGAs. With debug productivity balancing the cost of adding assertions, the increase in quality remains as the net benefit of assertion-based verification.
Military & Aerospace Electronics March 2006 Ben Ames	Engineers Balance Speed and Heat in a Single Board Processors and switched-fabric networks are moving data at faster speeds then ever before, which is leading designers to come up with innovative approaches to channeling information flow, power management, and keeping boards cool.
Military & Aerospace Electronics March 2006	InPhase Drives Holographic Memory with Cypress Chips The InPhase prototype demonstrates a new generation of storage-well beyond DVD, magnetic tape and disk. Holographic storage delivers high capacity by recording data with laser flashes throughout the volume of the recording material, and not just on the surface.
Military & Aerospace Electronics March 2006	General Dynamics Runs JTRS With Altera Processors Engineers at General Dynamics C4 Systems needed processors for the U.S. DOD's Joint Tactical Radio System Cluster 5 design. They found a solution with the Cyclone II and MAX II programmable logic devices (PLDs) from Altera.
Military & Aerospace Electronics March 2006	Navy Tests Networks with Equipment From JDS Uniphase Navy and Marine Corps technicians will use the tools to test bit error rates (BERs) for a wide variety of communication circuits including satellite, ship-to-shore, and tactical links.
Bio-IT World March 2006 Robert M. Frederickson	Integration, Robotics, and Automation The integration of instruments and technology is a key concept driving the development of advanced life-sciences laboratory automation. More sophisticated robotics are also increasingly being integrated into automated systems.
Chemistry World March 9, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Covalent Bonds Crack Under the Strain Chemists must consider engineering principles when designing molecules following news that tough carbon-to-carbon bonds break easily under mechanical strain.
Chemistry World March 8, 2006 Simon Hadlington	New Route to C-Glycoside Creation Overcomes Earlier Drawbacks A one-pot process for creating C-glycosides could help prepare robust analogues of naturally occurring carbohydrates. The technique could ultimately be used to make carbohydrate derivatives more widely available for use in applications from drugs to biosensors.
Chemistry World March 6, 2006 Jon Evans	Nanoprobes Light up Cellular Demolition Researchers have developed a method for detecting and imaging programmed cell death (apoptosis). The method, involving polymer nanoparticles, could be used to diagnose apoptosis-related diseases and inform drug development.
