IEEE Spectrum September 2006 Kieron Murphy	Q&A With: Michael Weiner We talk with the CEO of Biophan Technologies, a cutting-edge developer of biomedical device components about the industry, how his company fits into the med-tech market and how engineering contributes to improving quality of life.
IEEE Spectrum September 2006 J R Minkel	A Tabletop UV Microscope With the recent demonstration of a high-resolution ultraviolet microscope that fits on a tabletop, semiconductor manufacturing and basic science researchers alike may soon have a far easier time getting the images they need.
IEEE Spectrum September 2006 Michael Dumiak	Cells on Ice An engineering team prepares for the day when stem cells win public acceptance.
IEEE Spectrum September 2006 Seema Singh	India Connects To Wireless Internet High-speed Internet connectivity still is an elusive luxury for most Indians: only the best off in the big cities can take advantage of it. But WiMax, the IEEE standard for wide area wireless broadband connectivity, could be coming to the rescue.
Chemistry World August 30, 2006 Tom Westgate	Lasers Shed Light on Magnetic Resonance A new way of measuring nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in liquid samples could have implications across spectroscopy and imaging, report researchers.
Chemistry World August 29, 2006 Simon Hadlington	Bacteria Put New Spin on Micromotors Researchers have used motile bacteria to rotate a microscopic motor made from silicon. The team believes that their system -- fuelled by glucose -- is the first micromechanical device to integrate inorganic materials with living bacteria.
Chemistry World August 24, 2006 Michael Gross	Biotronics Branches Out Harvard researchers have developed nanowire transistors that interface with individual neurons and, even better, with the individual neuronal extensions that reach out to contact other cells.
Smithsonian September 2006 Amy Crawford	Interview: Amy Smith, Inventor This practitioner of humanitarian engineering wants to solve everyday problems for rural families in the developing world.
PC Magazine August 16, 2006 Sebastian Rupley	Moonwalking Shoes Scientists have created Power Shoes, which eliminate forward and backward motion while letting the wearer walk in a virtual world.
IEEE Spectrum August 2006 John Voelcker	Alt Fuels Rule at British International Motor Show Returning to London after 30 years, the auto show touts technology to raise fuel economy and lower carbon emissions.
