Chemistry World September 13, 2006 Ned Stafford	Germany Puts OLEDs Under the Spotlight German chemicals giant BASF has launched a Joint Innovation Lab to focus on organic light emitting diodes and organic photovoltaics as part of a government initiative to help turn Germany into an OLED global powerhouse.
Chemistry World September 13, 2006 Mark Peplow	Solar Cells Reach Into the Infrared A dye molecule that efficiently harvests the energy of near infrared light could boost the output from the next generation of solar cells.
Popular Mechanics October 2006 Moore & Aurilio	The Great Nuclear Debate Here are some compelling arguments both for and against pursuing nuclear power as an answer to the country's energy problems.
Fast Company September 2006 Tracy Staedter	Good Vibrations Take a step, and you generate 6 to 8 watts of energy -- which then dissipates into thin air. But now an architectural firm in London is looking at ways to capture that energy on a mass scale and turn it into electricity.
Popular Mechanics October 2006 Jerry Beilinson	Cheap Thrills Plans for and videos of: spud guns, trebuchets, gliders and other mechano-toys.
BusinessWeek September 18, 2006 David Welch	Gas Saver Or Tailpipe Dream? A new kind of hybrid uses hydraulics instead of batteries to save fuel.
Chemistry World September 7, 2006 Tom Westgate	Molecular Framework Sucks up Hydrogen Researchers have now developed a coordination framework material that is the best yet in terms of hydrogen storage. However, the materials currently require low temperatures to achieve the high loading of hydrogen.
Chemistry World September 2006 Neil Hyatt	Comment: Out of Sight, Out of Mind? The recent recommendations from the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management should prompt a renewed research effort to tackle the problems of nuclear waste storage in the UK.
PC Magazine August 30, 2006 Sebastian Rupley	Nano Construction Inc. New international nanofactory collaboration... Shape-shifting robots in Japan...
Chemistry World September 1, 2006 Simon Hadlington	System for Generating Smallest Ever Biopolymer Microcapsules Researchers have developed a technique for making microscopic capsules out of biopolymers. The method, based on a microfluidic approach, can create capsules smaller than previously possible, with unprecedented control over size.
