Bio-IT World February 10, 2003 Salvatore Salamone	Made in Manhattan A talk with the new head of the Computational Biology Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
Bio-IT World February 10, 2003 Robert M. Frederickson	Bringing Integrated Circuits to Life Cell-sized biochips mean that channels, pumps, and valves must become minuscule, too.
IndustryWeek February 1, 2003 John Teresko	GE's Growing Bet -- Wind Power With a new prototype turbine rated at 3.6 megawatts, GE Wind Energy prepares for growth in 'green' power.
CIO February 1, 2003 John Edwards	Golden Alfalfa Jorge Gardea-Torresdey, chemistry department chairman at the University of Texas at El Paso, says alfalfa filtering is a potentially efficient and cost-effective way of retrieving gold nanoparticles. Best of all, the process is environmentally friendly.
Wired February 2003 Douglas McGray	The Marshall Plan For 40 years, the man Pentagon insiders call Yoda has foreseen the future of war -- from battlefield bots rolling off radar-proof ships to GIs popping performance pills. And that was before the war on terror.
Technology Research News January 29, 2003 Kimberly Patch	Data stored in live cells Every type of storage media -- from stone to paper to magnetic disks -- is subject to destruction. Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are tapping forces of nature to store information more permanently.
Technology Research News January 29, 2003 Eric Smalley	Faster quantum crypto demoed Working out how to use only standard telecommunications gear to transmit cryptographic keys could dramatically improve quantum cryptography's paltry performance.
Technology Research News January 29, 2003 Kimberly Patch	Bumpy surface stores data Cramming more data into a given storage device is all about making bits that are extremely small and consistently spaced. Using individual molecules to store bits would be a tremendous leap forward. One molecule gaining researchers' attention is rotaxane.
Technology Research News January 29, 2003 Eric Smalley	Quantum computers go digital One of the challenges of building a quantum computer is reducing errors. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison have eased the problem with a method that reduces error rates by two orders of magnitude.
Technology Research News January 15, 2003 Kimberly Patch	Heat's on silicon A researcher from Texas A&M University has shown that the laws of physics are close to catching up with Moore's Law in a way not widely thought about. The culprit is heat.
