Wired March 2004 Douglas McGray	The Great Robot Race Unmanned aerial vehicles are for wimps. 20 driverless bots are about to get down and dirty in the Pentagon's million-dollar rumble from L.A. to Las Vegas. Start your engines.
The Motley Fool February 24, 2004 Wherrett & Yelovich	Profiting From Nanotechnology Can you profit from this technology? An overview of what the science is and where opportunity may lie for investors.
BusinessWeek March 1, 2004 Arlene Weintraub & Ginsburg	A High-Tech Race To Corral Mad Cow Radio chips and retinal scans vie for the job of tracking cattle from birth to butcher
BusinessWeek March 1, 2004 Dawson & Tashiro	For High Technology, A Bolt From The Blue New diodes promise denser disks and brighter bulbs -- just for starts
InternetNews February 17, 2004 Paul Shread	Serial Attached SCSI Moves Closer to Reality Maxtor and Seagate team with LSI Logic to claim the first successful SAS data transfers directly to disk.
InternetNews February 13, 2004 Michael Singer	Intel Joins Fiber Optics, Silicon The chipmaker looks to push high-bandwidth connections beyond the 10GHz barrier; companies that make copper interconnect or optoelectronics take note.
Technology Research News February 11, 2004 Eric Smalley	Light-storing chip charted Storing light, even briefly, was considered impossible until recently. Since scientists have proved it could be done, they've been finding different ways of accomplishing the feat. A proposal for slowing and stopping light in photonic crystal promises to bring these experiments to the chip level.
Technology Research News February 11, 2004 Eric Smalley	Noise boosts nanotube antennas Sometimes adding a little noise can help a signal come through loud and clear. This is true for the neural network between your ears, and it turns out to also be true for carbon nanotubes. The result could be better cell phones, chemical detectors and video screens.
Technology Research News February 11, 2004	All-plastic display demoed Researchers from Philips Research in the Netherlands have demonstrated a fast, flexible computer display that is nearly as thin as paper.
Technology Research News February 11, 2004	DNA sorts nanotubes Researchers have come up with a way to use DNA to separate carbon nanotubes by electrical type -- metallic or semi conducting -- and by diameter. A carbon nanotubes's electrical properties and diameter are related.
