Technology Research News November 17, 2004 Eric Smalley	Nanotubes Tune in Light Carbon nanotubes can act as antennas, but instead of transmitting and receiving radio waves, antennas of their size pick up the nanoscale wavelengths of visible light.
Technology Research News November 17, 2004	Low-Pressure Material Holds Hydrogen One key to using hydrogen as a fuel is finding practical ways to store it. Researchers have discovered a kinetic trapping effect that allows hydrogen to be adsorbed.
Technology Research News November 17, 2004	2D Holograms Make 3D Color Display Researchers have developed a three-dimensional color display that uses a set of six holograms and is made from relatively compact and inexpensive components.
Technology Research News November 17, 2004	Lasers Drive Nano Locomotive A researcher has designed a laser-powered molecular locomotive that runs along a molecular track and can generate a pulling force ten times greater than that of kinesin, a biological molecular motor.
Technology Research News November 17, 2004	Light-Recording Plastic Holds up Researchers have made stable photorefractive polymers that promise practical, inexpensive holographic data storage and real-time image processing.
Technology Research News November 17, 2004	Atom Flip Energy Measured Scientists have measured the energy required to flip the magnetic orientation, or spin of a single atom trapped on a surface.
Military & Aerospace Electronics November 2004	Product Applications Lockheed Martin tests helicopters with VMETRO recorder... Air Force tests engines with MTI... General Dynamics picks Agilent to test Mars rovers... Navy warships use Behlman power supply... etc.
Military & Aerospace Electronics November 2004 Janesch & Ivons	Choosing the Right Switch System Challenges Test Engineers Despite a variety of electronic systems, for all of them automation can improve them. An essential part of automated testing is a switching system, which routes signals between measurement instruments and the device under test (DUT).
Military & Aerospace Electronics November 2004 John Rhea	UAVs Provide Situational Awarness in Iraq This kind of surveillance capability is valuable not just for opposing combat forces. It would certainly be useful to monitor and pinpoint the locations of facilities used to develop weapons of mass destructions (WMDs).
Military & Aerospace Electronics November 2004 John McHale	Wired and Ready to Wear Military systems designers are adapting and fielding wearable computers perfected in the commercial world for defense personnel worldwide.
