Chemistry World December 17, 2007 Jonathan Edwards	Silicon Nanowire Boost for Rechargeable Batteries Scientists in the US have devised an easy way of using silicon nanowires to increase the capacity of lithium batteries.
Chemistry World December 14, 2007 Ned Stafford	Smallest Ever Advent Calendar Made A group of nanotech specialists in Germany have got into the Christmas spirit by making a miniature advent calendar. It would take about five million of the calendars to cover a postage stamp.
IEEE Spectrum December 2007 Neil Savage	Slower Light for Faster Telecom Networks Promising research could yield better optical data storage.
IEEE Spectrum December 2007 Willie D. Jones	Fueling a Robotic Arms Race Rocket propellant to make prosthetic arms better, stronger, faster.
PC Magazine November 28, 2007 Erik Rhey	Future Watch: A Better View From Afar Computer scientists have developed a Remote Instrumentation Collaboration Environment (RICE) that lets scientists avoid internet problems during data collection over a network.
Popular Mechanics December 12, 2007 Alex Hutchinson	Portable Fuel Cell Runs on Military Jet Fuel to Power Diesel Trucks A new whisper-silent fuel-cell power supply will help tanks keep their batteries operational while sitting in "silent watch" mode in hostile territory.
Chemistry World December 12, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Iron Oxide Succumbs to the Gentle Touch Chemists in Japan and France have produced a new iron oxide with a sheet-like structure that could be used in fuel cells and sensors.
Chemistry World December 11, 2007 Lewis Brindley	Chemists Fake Virus Capsids Scientists have made molecular 'tiles' that stick together, mimicking the football-like outer shell of a virus. Such self-assembling molecular capsules would be big enough to hold drug molecules and could provide new ways to make nanoparticles.
IEEE Spectrum December 2007 John Boyd	Smart Sheet Combines Wireless Power Supply and Wireless Communications Tokyo engineers mix MEMS and organic electronics in a flexible plastic substrate for low-power link and wireless power for portables.
IEEE Spectrum December 2007 Joshua J Romero	Japanese Engineers Turn High-k Dielectric Transistor Problem on Its Head One gate metal and two high-k dielectrics could mean a cheaper and easier 45-nanometer CMOS manufacturing process for transistors.
