Popular Mechanics March 2007 Alex Hutchinson	Forget Fisheye: A Photo Lens to Steer Robots A lens developed by South Korean researchers offers a wide-angle view without fisheye distortion, perfect for ceiling-mounted security cameras. Unlike images produced by fisheye lenses, straight lines appear straight.
Chemistry World February 12, 2007 Michael Gross	Nano-Pumpkins Fitted for Drug Delivery Chemists have created hollow molecular spheres by polymerizing a simple, flat building block without the help of any scaffolding or template to create the three-dimensional shape.
Chemistry World February 8, 2007 Tom Westgate	Bubbles Put the Logic Into Lab-on-a-Chip The boundary between computing and chemistry has been redrawn, thanks to devices that mimic digital processors using the physical properties of flowing liquids and bubbles.
Popular Mechanics March 2007 Ian Christe	Stem-Cell Fast Food: From NASA to Nourishment Who needs animals? It's only a matter of time before lab-grown meat turns into the oink-less BLT.
National Real Estate Investor February 1, 2007 John Egan	3D Problem Solvers 3D modeling, based on computer-aided design, lets engineers build a plant in a virtual setting as many times as needed before the first concrete is poured.
Fast Company February 1, 2007 Josie Swindler	It's Not TV. It's TVU. A new technology lets anyone broadcast and watch live TV online.
Fast Company February 1, 2007 Kathryn Tuggle	Flying Cars Sitting in Samuel Schweighart's garage in Watertown, Massachusetts, is the stuff of science fiction -- and soon reality.
Fast Company February 1, 2007 Paul Lukas	Fashion Forward We've come a long way from the miracle of rayon. How new fabric technology is changing our duds.
Chemistry World February 5, 2007 Lionel Milgrom	Hafnium Oxide Helps Make Chips Smaller and Faster Intel and IBM have announced that they will use dramatically different materials to build smaller, faster transistors for their next generation of chips.
CIO February 1, 2007 Nancy Weil	Can Humans Build Conscious Machines? Will machines ever be capable of human intelligence? That's ultimately a matter for philosophers, not scientists, to decide, two of today's top technology minds agreed during a recent debate at MIT.
