National Defense June 2006 Jean & Erwin	For Navy, More Unmanned Aircraft on the Horizon An unmanned combat aircraft that can operate from carrier decks would be of great utility to the Navy, but it appears to be unaffordable, at least for the time being, said a naval aviation expert.
National Defense June 2006 Robert H. Williams	Army Scrutinizes Novel Micro Fuel Cell UltraCell Corporation's methanol powered micro fuel cell XX25 provides wireless, portable power in extreme environmental conditions. The Army is looking into the cell that can power a laptop computer for up to two days.
National Defense June 2006 Robert H. Williams	Handheld Detectors Produce Fast Results Miniature chemical-biological detection devices, that in the future could be deployed in wireless networks to protect buildings, subways and airports, have been perfected by scientists.
National Defense June 2006 Robert H. Williams	Laser System Scores Perfect in Painting The Iowa Waste Reduction Center has perfected a laser attachment to a spray gun that cuts costs, time and waste.
National Defense June 2006 Stew Magnuson	First Armed Ground Robot Readied for Deployment A concept touted by science fiction novelists for decades, the first armed ground robots may roll into the field as early as this month, according to Army and industry officials.
National Defense June 2006 Stew Magnuson	High-Tech Weapons Mix Targets Urban Hazards As the Pentagon continues to invest in technologies to neutralize roadside bombs, rocket propelled grenades remain a potent threat. More than 100 soldiers have been killed since operations in South East Asia began.
Chemistry World May 19, 2006 Jon Evans	CNTs Provide Pores for Thought Membranes containing pores made of carbon nanotubes could improve the efficiency of processes such as desalination and removing CO 2 from industrial emissions.
Scientific American May 15, 2006 Steven Ashley	Enhanced Armor New materials are being developed to to fend off evolving battlefield threats.
Chemistry World May 12, 2006 Yfke Hager	Biomolecular Traffic Control Dutch researchers have developed a biomotor that steers microtubules to a specific location on a chip. The breakthrough takes nanotechnologists a step closer to developing finely controlled nanometer-scale transport systems.
Bio-IT World May 2006 John Russell	Kurzweil: Life Is the Fast Lane Inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil's opening keynote at the Bio-IT World Life Sciences Conference + Expo painted an optimistic vision of a world governed by growing information technologies that will transform what it means to be human.
