Food Engineering March 6, 2006 Kevin T. Higgins	Matter's fourth dimension Atmospheric plasma is the term physicists typically use to describe a microwave heating technology developed for metal joining, but it also holds promise for food.
Chemistry World March 3, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Thin Films Cooled by an Electric Field A material that can be cooled by an electric field could replace greenhouse gases as a refrigerant in household and industrial fridges, scientists claim.
Chemistry World March 2006 Joe McEntee	Fuel Cells Head for Mass Market At the end of the day, wide-scale commercialization is a numbers game and developers will prosper or perish based on how they fare against metrics such as durability, reliability, cost and, most brutal of all, profitability. It's time to start delivering.
Chemistry World March 2006 Katie Gibb	Careers: An Inspiring Role 25-Year old chemical engineer Leanne Hart's passion for encouraging people into the chemical industry prompted her to apply to become a UK chemical industry young ambassador.
IEEE Spectrum March 2006 Kieron Murphy	The Man in Charge of Restoring Iraq's Telecom The White House put Dan Sudnick in charge of restoring civilian telecommunications following the Iraq War. The efforts of his staff, successors, and Iraqi counterparts are beginning to bear fruit.
Geotimes March 2006 Naomi Lubick	Soaking up Carbon Researchers recently announced that they had created metal-based sponges that have exceptionally high capacity for storing carbon dioxide. This nanotechnology is one of many new solutions in the search to find a fix for storing human-emitted carbon-based greenhouse gases.
Chemistry World March 1, 2006 Jon Evans	New Catalyst for Methanol Fuel Cells Chemists have created what they say is a cheap and efficient catalyst for oxidizing methanol that could accelerate the widespread adoption of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs).
IEEE Spectrum March 2006 Jean Kumagai	Halfway to Mars How a hardy band of researchers braved freezing nights, bad food, and high winds in the Chilean desert to test the next generation of planetary rovers.
IEEE Spectrum March 2006 Seema Singh	Big Players in Chip Design Buy Into India India's position suddenly seems so strong in both market potential and engineering resources that it could soon be driving some of the major global developments in chip design.
IEEE Spectrum March 2006 J. R. Minkel	Quantum Leap For Quantum Computing The most promising technology for constructing an ultrapowerful quantum computer is the ion trap, a nest of electrodes that holds ions in midair. Researchers have now built the first such ion-trap chips.
