Chemistry World October 2007 Mark Peplow	Chemistry's Big Question The way that we currently produce our energy -- for light, heat and transportation -- is clearly unsustainable. Chemistry really can save the world -- but scientists must be canny about selecting the most commercially realistic ways of achieving that.
Chemistry World October 2007 Philip Ball	The Crucible Feel free to make photovoltaics better. But don't forget they have to be cheaper, too.
Chemistry World October 2007 Bernard Bulkin	Can Chemistry Save the Planet? If we are to scale back our greenhouse gas emissions without society juddering to a halt, 21st century transport will need 21st century fuels. And of all the sciences, it is chemistry that is best placed to deliver them.
Chemistry World October 2007 Dylan Stiles	Bench Monkey 'Alternative alternative energy' gloriously promises something for nothing. But an apparatus that produces work without energetic input simply cannot exist.
Chemistry World October 2007	Chemistry Through the Lens Here is a photo of electrical discharges illuminating the surface of the Z machine, the world's most powerful X-ray source.
Chemistry World October 1, 2007 Lewis Brindley	Semiconductor Splits Water with Sunlight Scientists in Germany have developed a promising new catalyst that splits water using sunlight -- and stores the hydrogen and oxygen produced.
IEEE Spectrum October 2007 Susan Karlin	Hard Drives vs. Hard Drugs How an engineer is making computer models to tackle drug addiction.
PC Magazine September 26, 2007 Daniel Wright	Future Watch: Run, Robot, Run Scientists develop a speed-walking robot that learns from it's mistakes.
IEEE Spectrum October 2007 Sandra Upson	The Greening of Google In the U.S., corporate rooftops are the latest frontier in solar energy generation.
IEEE Spectrum October 2007 Bohr et al.	The High-k Solution Microprocessors coming out this fall are the result of the first big redesign in CMOS transistors since the late 1960s.
