Technology Research News May 19, 2004	Electricity Turns Plastic Green Researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles have made a conducting polymer that changes to a very clean green color in the presence of electricity.
CIO May 15, 2004 Fred Hapgood	MIT Builds Its Dream House The way computer scientists work their strategies and goals is changing. MIT's new Stata Center reflects that change, offering fresh ways of looking at networks, collaboration and even architecture.
InternetNews May 6, 2004 Michael Singer	Intel Takes 'Proactive' Approach to R&D CTO Pat Gelsinger charts a course for processors that use probability to anticipate a user's actions.
Wired May 2004 Spencer Reiss	Frank Gehry's Geek Palace It's eye-popping! It's brand-building! It's a boundary-busting intellectual free trade zone! Inside the research center that could remake MIT, if they can just get those damn researchers in line.
Technology Research News May 5, 2004 Eric Smalley	Memory Stores Three Bits in One Researchers have built a prototype molecular memory device that stores three bits in the same spot, multiplying storage density without increasing the device footprint.
Technology Research News May 5, 2004 Eric Smalley	Y Switches Set up Low-Power Logic Researchers are looking into Y-branch switches, which have the potential to use less energy because they turn circuits on and off by directing electrons in one of two directions rather than opening and closing the circuit.
Technology Research News May 5, 2004	Color Display Blocks Prying Eyes Researchers have built a computer display that can be viewed only from directly in front of the screen.
Technology Research News May 5, 2004	Net Lets Hand-Helds View 3D Data Researchers have developed a distributed processing scheme that allows Internet users find and display complex three-dimensional models on hand-held computers.
Technology Research News May 5, 2004	Nano Wires Make Tiny Compasses Researchers have built compass needles as small as 20 by 200 nanometers, which could be used to measure magnetic fields at the nanoscale and to orient nanosized wires during the process of building molecular-sized structures.
BusinessWeek May 10, 2004 Otis Por	Just Two Words: Plastic Chips They can endow just about anything with computer smarts -- and they'll be cheap
