Military & Aerospace Electronics September 2007 Robert Schwanke	High-Speed 16-to-1 Multiplexer Implementation Serializes Data as Fast as 50 Gigabits Per Second With today's high-capacity systems, the need to reduce wide parallel buses to serial signals has become a vital necessity, particularly in test and measurement, telecommunications, data communications, satellite, and military and aerospace applications.
Military & Aerospace Electronics September 2007 Courtney E. Howard	Sandia Advances Structural Health Monitoring Sensors for Aircraft Applications Structural health monitoring sensors can find fatigue damage, hidden cracks in hard-to-reach locations, disbonded joints, erosion, impact damage, and corrosion, among other defects commonly encountered in aging aircraft.
Chemistry World September 26, 2007 James Mitchell Crow	Interview: Energy Research Lights up Both a professor of Energy and Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Daniel Nocera talks about his research into harnessing solar energy to make fuel from water.
Popular Mechanics November 2007 Erik Sofge	Inside Robina, Toyota's Tourguide Who Teaches Fellow Robots Robina's true mission is to help gather data that could benefit robots still in development at Toyota.
Chemistry World September 24, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Viral Nanoreactor Captures Single Molecules Researchers in the Netherlands have created a biochemical nanoreactor by cracking open a virus, removing its contents then reassembling the virus's protein coat around a single molecule of enzyme.
Reactive Reports September 2007 David Bradley	Fire Resistant Paint A way to toughen up the latex particles used to make emulsion paints has been developed by chemists. The approach involves adding tiny slivers of clay armor to make the particles more hard wearing and fire resistant.
Fast Company October 1, 2007 Linda Tischler	Matter If the key to a young graduate's future was once "plastics," today it's biopolymers, plastic analogs made mostly from natural, biodegradable components instead of petrochemicals.
Fast Company October 1, 2007 Cora Daniels	Fast Talk: Chevron's Underground Researcher Don Paul, a former research geophysicist who manages Chevron's R&D partnerships, has teamed up with Los Alamos scientists to use chemistry to convert oil shale into synthetic crude oil.
Popular Mechanics November 2007 Erik Sofge	Navy SEALs Could Turn Superhuman with Pentagon's PowerSwim America's underwater special forces ops might not like it at first, but this dolphin-like device will let them reach targets fast -- and without having to catch their breath. And unlike many DARPA programs, PowerSwim is coming soon.
PC Magazine October 2, 2007 John Brandon	Future Watch: This Room is Bugged For the most covert spy operations, the U.S. government is planning to create cyborg insects with micro-scopic sensors, video surveillance cameras, and global positioning systems to aid the Department of Defense.
