Industrial Physicist Faith A. Morrison	What is rheology anyway? Rheology is the study of the flow of materials that behave in an interesting or unusual manner.
IndustryWeek April 1, 2004 John Teresko	3-D Chemistry Builds Complex Micro-Structures Try it for complex structures that would be difficult to build layer-by-layer with 2-D lithographic processes.
Information Today March 29, 2004 Paula J. Hane	GlobalSpec Introduces "The Engineering Web" GlobalSpec, a specialized online resource for engineering, has launched a new interface, added more powerful search functionality, and has introduced a specialized search engine.
InternetNews March 26, 2004 Alexander Wolfe	Is Moore's Law Headed for Repeal? A former Intel chip architect sees a design imperative beyond faster clock speeds.
Technology Research News March 24, 2004 Eric Smalley	Molecular logic proposed Researchers from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and University College London in England have devised a scheme for designing logic circuits within individual molecules.
Technology Research News March 24, 2004 Kimberly Patch	Pulse trap makes optical switch Scientists who work with light pulses so short that one trillion of them pass by in a second are laying the groundwork for higher bandwidth communications and blazingly-fast, all-optical computer chips.
Technology Research News March 24, 2004	Bacteria make clean power The Penn State researchers' microbial fuel cell is fueled by wastewater skimmed from the settling pond of a treatment plant, and the process of drawing electricity from the microbial action taking place in the wastewater also cleans the water.
Technology Research News March 24, 2004	Curve widens 3D display Researchers from Seoul National University in Korea have showed that using curved lenses doubles the viewing angle of three-dimensional integral imaging systems without sacrificing brightness. Future applications could include 3D ad displays and 3D TVs.
Technology Research News March 24, 2004	Triangles form one-way channels The microfluidic rectifier could be used in integrated microfluidic circuits, which use control fluids to operate pumps and valves that move samples and reagents in biochips.
Technology Research News March 24, 2004	Nanowires span silicon contacts One challenge in making electronics at the size-scale of molecules is finding ways to position and attach nanowires to the tiny components. Researchers from Hewlett-Packard Laboratories have succeeded in growning nanowires between electrodes.
