Technology Research News February 11, 2004	Mechanical storage goes low power Researchers in Korea have devised a very low-power method of reading bits of information stored in areas of film that measure 50 nanometers. The method could eventually be used in ultrahigh-density mechanical storage devices.
Technology Research News February 11, 2004	Scientists brew tree-shaped DNA Researchers from Cornell University have synthesized a new type of DNA that can be used as a nanotechnology building block.
Technology Research News February 11, 2004	Magnets tune photonic crystal Researchers from Fudan University in China have found that it is possible to use a magnetic field to quickly shift or block certain frequencies of electromagnetic signals passing through photonic crystals made from semiconductor material.
The Motley Fool February 11, 2004 Alyce Lomax	Dow and GM's Power Play With Dow and GM at the helm, will fuel-cell technology grow green?
IndustryWeek February 1, 2004 John Teresko	Helping Electronics Keep Their Cool New thermal-management technology doesn't need cooling fans, say Georgia Tech researchers.
Industrial Physicist Feb/Mar 2004 Pinkerton & Wicke	Bottling the hydrogen genie If hydrogen is to replace gasoline for road transport, a means to store useful quantities of hydrogen on-board the vehicle must be found. Storage as a liquid, as a gas, or in metal hydrides all have serious limitations.
Industrial Physicist Feb/Mar 2004 R. Bruce Weisman	Simplifying carbon nanotube identification A new method has been found to identify and classify various structural forms of carbon nanotubes, each with its characteristic electronic properties, in a typical mixture, using spectrofluorimetry.
Industrial Physicist Feb/Mar 2004	New Products Pump-Compressor... High-Speed Camera... Laser Scan Arm... Oil-Shear Brakes... etc.
Fast Company February 2004 Fiona Haley	Viva Recycling! Now here's what we call creativity. In Cuba, where new things are rare, a phone gets turned into an electric fan, and a plastic bottle becomes a taxi sign.
Fast Company February 2004 Abby Schultz	Nanotech Solar Cells, in Camouflage Colors Flexible plastic, the sun, and new freedom from battery packs.
