Technology Research News March 9, 2005	Nanotubes Boost Molecular Devices Researchers have constructed an extremely small transistor from a pair of single-walled carbon nanotubes and organic molecules. The tiny transistor could eventually be used in ultra-low-power electronics.
Technology Research News March 9, 2005	Avalanches up Disk Storage Researchers have constructed a spin-valve transistor that is more sensitive to microscopic magnetic fields than the devices that read today's commercial hard drives.
Technology Research News March 9, 2005	Silicon Chip Laser Goes Continuous Useful lasers made from silicon would make it possible to move data between and within computer chips using light rather than electricity. This would make for faster chips that could be more tightly integrated with optical communications equipment.
PC Magazine March 2, 2005 Sebastian Rupley	The Bird's-Eye View The Interactive Wall is a 10'x4' prototypical control center for workplace collaboration featuring a touch-sensitive, high-resolution display fed with data, text, and graphics.
PC Magazine March 2, 2005 John C. Dvorak	Inside Track v24n5 While it is not up to the current specs of today's efficient DRAM, every chip company has its eye on the potential of magnetic RAM, or MRAM.
Food Engineering March 1, 2005 Kevin T. Higgins	Do the linear motion P. Blake Svejkovsky, product manage, product handling systems, Heat and Control Inc., Carrollton, TX, has been around snack-food conveyors all of his professional life. Here, he discusses the evolutionary changes of sanitary, linear-motion conveyors.
IndustryWeek March 1, 2005 John Teresko	The Analysis Challenge Abaqus, Inc., has launched engineering analysis software that allows quick, easy fracture and failure modeling of materials, fasteners and other connection types, such as spot-welding, and separation between two initially bonded surfaces.
IEEE Spectrum March 2005 Harry Goldstein	The Race to the Bottom Can a polymath engineer at Nanochip Inc. beat IBM to market with the world's first consumer nano device?
Wired March 2005 Daniel McGinn	The King of Thrones To squeeze more performance out of their new commodes, the toilet gurus turned to computer modeling.
Fast Company March 2005 Ryan Underwood	60 Seconds on Doing the Impossible Peter Diamandis, the aerospace engineer and medical doctor, who created suborbital space competition, talks about the moon and nanotechnology.
