Chemistry World May 10, 2007 Simon Hadlington	New Electrode Material for High-Capacity Lithium Batteries US researchers presented details of a new electrode material for rechargeable batteries which, they claim, can store almost twice as much charge as conventional electrodes.
Chemistry World May 9, 2007 Lionel Milgrom	Multinozzle to Speed up Lab-on-a-Chip Proteomics The pace of proteomics research is set to increase, thanks to the development of a new device that interfaces lab-on-a-chip technology with a conventional mass spectrometer.
Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2007 John Keller	Temperature's Rising: Designers Face Myriad Options to Cool Electronic Systems More electronic and electro-optic systems mean more electric power, and increasing heat that engineers must get rid of. Today's choices include convection, conduction, and liquid-cooling options. Tomorrow's choices will be more complex.
Military & Aerospace Electronics May 2007 Bob Scannell	MEMs-Based Gyros Offer New Options for Precision Guidance The maturing of gyro technology based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in the last few years has lead some systems designers to re-examine their approach to guidance-system design.
Chemistry World May 3, 2007 Simon Hadlington	The Many Faces of Platinum Researchers in the U.S. and China have discovered a way to grow multi-faceted nanocrystals of platinum that have much higher catalytic activity than the conventional crystalline forms of the metal.
Chemistry World May 3, 2007 Victoria Gill	Particle Physics Gets Smaller Plans for a prototype of an unusually simple, small particle accelerator have been unveiled by the University of Manchester.
Food Engineering May 2, 2007 Kevin T. Higgins	Lethal Light Air conditioners and potato tumblers are being engineered to deliver a dose of short-wave ultraviolet light to control mold, viruses and bacteria that infect food.
IEEE Spectrum May 2007 John Voelcker	Eyes on the Prize Here, the author sits in on energy equivalence debates -- with millions of dollars for a "100 mpg car" riding on the results. The impetus for the session -- and the Auto X Prize itself -- is the growing awareness of climate change.
PC Magazine May 2, 2007 John Brandon	Future Watch: An Invisibility Suit Science is finally catching up with science fiction.
IEEE Spectrum May 2007 Giselle Weiss	Big Magnet Glitch at World's Top Particle Accelerator Officials at CERN believe they have found a solution to the latest hitch in the construction of the Large Hadron Collider, a state-of-the-art particle accelerator.
