IEEE Spectrum December 2006	Engineers and Autism A new theory links systemizing, engineers, and autism, a developmental disorder that has become more common in recent decades.
Smithsonian December 2006 Eric Jaffe	Old World, High Tech Using computer imaging techniques previously unavailable to researchers, a team led by mathematician Tony Freeth reconstructed an ancient Greek calendar that was ahead of its time.
Chemistry World November 28, 2006 Fiona Case	Cold War Clean-up US developers say they are close to a breakthrough in efforts to clean up post-cold-war missiles. The new approach, which is renewable and would cut costs by more than half, would be a significant improvement on what is currently available, they claim.
Popular Mechanics December 2006 David Hambling	Tech Watch: Forecasting Pain Forget lasers, phasers and other beam weapons; radiofrequency devices are here, and they're set to "sting."
Chemistry World November 27, 2006 Simon Hadlington	Getting the Dope on a Single Atom of Dopant Scientists have successfully probed the electronic and quantum mechanical properties of a single atom of dopant in a silicon transistor. The research could provide important information necessary for the development of quantum computers.
Food Engineering November 1, 2006	Engineering R and D: Engineers mine brown energy Steven J. Brunner, vice president of engineering, discusses Microgy Inc.'s anaerobic digesters, which are designed to harness the energy potential in agricultural and food processing waste.
National Defense December 2006 Sandra I. Erwin	Air Force Sets Sights on `Airman of the Future' Video Games Gaming technologies, officials say, would allow the Air Force to broaden the training options available to airmen, and would help the service save money by shifting flying time from real aircraft to simulators.
National Defense December 2006 Sandra I. Erwin	Virtual Weapons Lab Sought by Air Force The Air Force is seeking funds to build a leading-edge virtual laboratory where the Air Force could design and test its weapon systems, at a much more reduced cost than live trials.
Fast Company December 1, 2006 Chuck Salter	Just Add Inspiration The Inventables DesignAid kit tries to inspire innovative thinking by giving inventors unusual technologies and suggesting various applications. This slide show provides a sample.
