PC Magazine July 29, 2003	Bits & Bytes Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Princeton University, UC Berkeley, the University of Washington, and nearly 60 other organizations have launched a global Internet laboratory called PlanetLab.
PC Magazine June 25, 2003 John R. Quain	New Display Tech Revealed Technology innovation is not only supposed to lead to a better mousetrap, it's also supposed to lead to lower costs. That's precisely the idea behind a new display technology that promises inexpensive high-definition monitors.
Industrial Physicist Aug/Sep 2003 Ineke Malsch	Protein research calls for advanced instruments The science of protein interactions is becoming a major tool in biomedical and drug development research. Carrying out and advancing such studies more efficiently and effectively, however, will require new, cutting-edge instrumentation.
Industrial Physicist Aug/Sep 2003 Jennifer Ouellette	A new wave of microfluidic devices Flexibility and a variety of uses are the key
Industrial Physicist Aug/Sep 2003 Kaufman et al.	Forum: Grid computing made simple Grid computing enables the use and pooling of computer and data resources to solve complex mathematical problems. The technique is the latest development in an evolution that earlier brought forth such advances as distributed computing, the Worldwide Web, and collaborative computing.
Wired August 2003 Josh McHugh	The Lost City of Venice For centuries, St. Mark's Square has been slowly slipping closer to Atlantis. Here's how a massive system of floodgates could turn the tide.
BusinessWeek July 28, 2003 Otis Port	Super Soldiers New materials and technologies could boost the mobility and safety of U.S. troops
Wired August 2003 Michael Mechanic	Beyond the Wall Infrared surveillance cams. Seismic field sensors. Real-time data maps. Welcome to the new US Border Patrol.
Technology Research News July 16, 2003 Kimberly Patch	Sensors guard privacy The idea behind a new privacy scheme is to make sensor networks automatically reduce the accuracy of the location data they report whenever anyone is in danger of standing out. The goal is to allow people to be monitored without any one person being tracked.
Technology Research News July 16, 2003 Eric Smalley	Cheaper optics-chip link on tap One of the best ways to speed up the Internet would be to extend all the way to the home the fiber-optic lines that make up the Net's backbone. One piece of the fiber-to-the-home puzzle is a low-cost way of converting light pulses to electrical signals. A new semiconductor may do the trick.
