Chemistry World July 13, 2006 Michael Gross	Catalyst Cracks Tough Cellulose Metal catalysts can break down cellulose into simple sugar alcohols, chemists have found, marking an important step in the quest to produce green fuels from renewable resources.
Chemistry World July 12, 2006 Jessica Ebert	Light Sensors From a Test Tube Making electronic components from solutions of chemicals has long been touted as being cheaper and cleaner than conventional manufacturing processes, and researchers now say that it can also deliver better devices.
Military & Aerospace Electronics July 2006	Strong Growth in U.S. and Global Markets for Processing of Sol-Gel Ceramics and Glass The U.S. market for sol-gel processing of ceramics and glass will be worth $330 million this year, and is expected to reach $500 million by 2011. This represents 8.7 percent average annual growth rate.
Military & Aerospace Electronics July 2006 Steve Rood Goldman	Military Gigabit Ethernet: a TOE-to-TOE Comparison Ethernet's widespread use and longevity has resulted in an abundance of COTS hardware and network application software for military use. Fast Ethernet has been deployed for years and now Gigabit Ethernet is being designed into system upgrades and new weapon systems.
Military & Aerospace Electronics July 2006 Courtney E. Howard	Future Force is on the Move Tomorrow's warfighters are here today, years earlier than initially anticipated. The U.S. Army's Future Force Warrior program, under the umbrella of the organization's Future Combat Systems project, received a significant boost from an advanced technology demonstration last month.
Military & Aerospace Electronics July 2006 John McHale	Boeing to Develop New Electronic Circuits for Extreme Space Environments Boeing is part of a team that received a NASA contract to develop a reliable, cost-effective electronic technology that helps robotic and human space missions operate in environments of extreme cold and space radiation.
Military & Aerospace Electronics July 2006 John McHale	Aegis BMD Weapon System with Prototype Signal Processor Tracks Ballistic Missiles The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense Weapon System, aided by a prototype signal processor from Lockheed Martin, tracked several advanced ballistic missile targets in separate tests off the coast of Hawaii in April.
Military & Aerospace Electronics July 2006	Standards-Based Technology Liquid Cooling Parker Hannifin built an advanced standards-based technology liquid cooling demonstrator for high-power embedded electronics applications to support manufacturers and users of open-system architectures.
Chemistry World July 11, 2006 Simon Hadlington	Spin Doctors Find New Way to Make Skin Scaffold Researchers have developed a new type of polymer scaffold support for growing cultured human skin cells. The team showed that the mechanical and geometric properties of the scaffold are far more important than any specific chemical property.
Chemistry World July 6, 2006 Bea Perks	Nano-Urchins Unveiled Tweaking a standard chemical method to make nanotubes has provided researchers with a structure that looks just like a miniature sea urchin. The nano-urchin's spines could prove useful as scaffolding for further molecular construction.
