Technology Research News January 15, 2003 Kimberly Patch	Remote monitoring aids data access Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories have found a way to work with large amounts of data over networks in near real-time.
Technology Research News January 15, 2003 Eric Smalley	Metal stores more hydrogen One reason the world isn't running on hydrogen fuel is that it's hard to store. Researchers from the National University of Singapore have made an accidental discovery that brings the promise of clean hydrogen energy a big step forward.
Technology Research News January 15, 2003 Eric Smalley	Device demos terabit storage Researchers from Tohoku University, the Japanese National Institute for Materials Science, and Pioneer Corporation in Japan have found a way to store huge amounts of data after figuring out how to make many tiny, inverted dots in a thin film of metal and determining how to sense the state of each dot.
Technology Research News January 15, 2003 Kimberly Patch	Plastic process produces puny pores The size of the microscopic pores in a material determines how the material scatters the sun's rays and how much light will shine through. Making microscopic pores precisely the right size, however, is tricky.
Bio-IT World January 13, 2003 John Russell	When Only Brute Force Will Do Listening to CEO Fred Hausheer talk about supercomputers, it's not always clear if BioNumerik Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a drug discovery company or high-performance computing play. Even its name suggests a mixed identity. But that's the point.
Bio-IT World January 13, 2003 Mark D. Uehling	Prescription for Success: Mix IT and Science Blending IT and R&D: At Eli Lilly, scientists define the "what," IT decides the "how." In the post-genomic era, "Collaboration will be absolutely critical," says CIO Roy Dunbar.
Bio-IT World January 13, 2003 Jennifer Lorenzetti	Taking Data Storage to Infinity -- and Beyond Perlegen Sciences has made important advances in resequencing DNA and identifying SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms), to the point that an entire human genome can be deduced in about 10 days. But it requires storing an extraordinary amount of data -- here's how it's done.
Science News January 11, 2003 Janet Raloff	The Shocking Science of Tender Poultry U.S. Agriculture Department scientists report adopting an electrical-stimulation concept to tenderize the breast meat of mature laying hens.
Outside January 2003 Bob Parks	Splinter Technology A spiffy new generator turns wood into watts. Could be just the thing for getting waaay off the grid.
IndustryWeek January 1, 2003 John Teresko	Autonomic Computing: The Next E-Business Step IBM: "It's time to design and build computing systems capable of running themselves, adjusting to varying circumstances and preparing their resources to efficiently handle workloads."
