Chemistry World July 21, 2006 Karen Harries-Rees	Australia's First Synchrotron Springs to Life The country's only synchrotron has achieved first light, a key milestone for the facility that is due to open in April next year.
Chemistry World July 20, 2006 Victoria Gill	Polymer Boosts Battery Power It might seem like a defibrillator and a hybrid car have very little in common, but researchers developed a polymer that could have a profound effect on them both.
National Defense August 2006 Robert H. Williams	Portable Power Offered in Small Package Global Star has just introduced a 25-watt, 12-volt flexible, foldable solar panel that is water resistant and friendly to the environment.
Chemistry World July 18, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Membranes Weed Out Carbon Dioxide Chemical membranes that can capture the carbon dioxide emitted by fossil fuels have been developed by scientists, who say that they are substantially more efficient than conventional membranes.
Fast Company July 2006 Tracy Staedter	A Virus With a Charge Researchers at MIT have figured out how to genetically manipulate viruses to build structures packed with tiny conductive wires. One goal -- battery cells that are much smaller and last a lot longer.
Fast Company July 2006 Chuck Salter	Labs on a Chip A powerful portable biosensor that will be easy to use, flexible, and capable of performing multiple diagnostic tests is expected to be available in a "couple of years."
Fast Company July 2006 Scott Kirsner	It's Alive! Coming soon to a theater near you: A new, improved 3D experience!
PC Magazine July 12, 2006 Sebastian Rupley	A Tiny Touch Sensors that mimic human touch.
Reactive Reports Issue 57 David Bradley	Smart Materials Self Repair Dumb materials succumb to rust, but smart materials might be able to heal themselves, thanks to researchers in Europe.
Chemistry World July 14, 2006 Victoria Gill	Ultimate Apex Achieved Researchers have devised a method of coating a tungsten point with a protective layer of nitrogen, which holds all of the metal atoms in place and maintains the tiniest point possible.
