Science News March 3, 2007	Science Safari: Lucid Movement Lucid Movement is a regularly updated video blog that documents the world through the lens of a high-speed video camera.
Smithsonian March 2007 Eric Jaffe	DeLorean Tremens Hold onto your flux capacitors, time machines have nearly arrived
Chemistry World March 1, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	World's Blackest Material Unveiled Researchers have unveiled the least shiny material ever made, a chunk of pure darkness that has the most anti-reflective coating known to science.
Geotimes March 2007 Kathryn Hansen	Mineral Crumbles Under Nuclear Heat When it comes to storing nuclear waste, it turns out that zircon can't take the heat. A new, high-resolution look at the mineral -- previously thought to be a model material for storing nuclear waste -- reveals that it is quick to succumb to radiation damage.
IEEE Spectrum March 2007 Prachi Patel Predd	Beyond Blue High-definition DVD movies and players based on blue lasers have only just arrived on the market, but already a new generation is in sight, promising another fivefold increase in storage density. The key to making UV-emitting devices is likely to be zinc oxide.
IEEE Spectrum March 2007 Samuel K. Moore	Commercializing Quantum Keys It's a strange business, turning the esoteric quantum properties of light into money. But there are a few brave companies that have been trying to do just that for the last five years, and they may have hit on the right way to do it.
Chemistry World February 28, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Individual Atoms' Chemical ID Revealed Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that atomic force microscopy can be used to reveal the chemical identity of individual atoms on a surface at room temperature.
IEEE Spectrum February 2007 Alberto Enriquez	Early Warning For Earthquakes Although evidence that electromagnetic events precede quakes is mounting quickly, the main theory to explain that evidence has had a gash in it the size of the San Andreas Fault. Teasing out the physics behind radio anomalies.
Chemistry World January 31, 2007 Lionel Milgrom	Demon Ratchets up Nanotech Revolution Inspired by a 140-year-old conundrum, chemists have created a nanomachine that works like a ratchet, transporting molecules in only one direction.
Chemistry World January 31, 2007 Ned Stafford	Making Light Work The photovoltaic industry is nearing a breakthrough point, beyond which production capacity will soar, offering consumers a wide variety of options at much lower prices.
