IEEE Spectrum February 2011 Prachi Patel	Engineers and Business School - A Match Made in Heaven Whether to advance to management, work on Wall Street, or turn a ripe idea into a business venture, getting an MBA is a popular career move
IEEE Spectrum February 2011 Prachi Patel	The Other MEMs: The Master of Engineering Management Degree Engineers who want something more tech-oriented than an MBA are rediscovering an old degree
Chemistry World January 28, 2011 David Barden	Chips make short work of RNA synthesis Chinese scientists have developed a much easier way to make the short strands of RNA that are an essential tool in understanding what genes do.
Chemistry World January 28, 2011 Emma Shiells	Eliminating arsenic from drinking water An iron-rich, porous material can remove arsenic from drinking water in under two hours, say Chinese scientists.
Chemistry World January 26, 2011 Mike Brown	Carbon nanotubes for hydrogen storage Researchers in Germany have designed a 3D carbon-based nanotube matrix that can store and release hydrogen extremely efficiently. The material could form the basis of a sustainable hydrogen economy, they say.
Chemistry World January 26, 2011 Anna Watson	Channelling deeper to target breast cancer US scientists have developed a model of the breast ductal system that could be used to discover abnormal cells or deliver drugs at locations further along the ducts than other techniques. The model fits on a slide, enabling on-chip experiments.
Chemistry World January 20, 2011 Erica Wise	Protective shells for cells A highly permeable shell made for living cells could substantially extend their lifetime in bioengineering applications, including aiding bone repair, say US scientists.
BusinessWeek January 14, 2011 Eric Spitznagel	The Robot in the Next Cubicle The new wave of robots for sale is aimed squarely at the office market.
Chemistry World January 14, 2011 Laura Howes	Size matters in piezoelectric materials Nanowires that produce current when bent and deformed can show huge improvements in efficiency as their diameters are shrunk. The findings will help advance research to power technology at the nanoscale.
Chemistry World January 14, 2011 Rebecca Brodie	Nuclear forensics A portable forensic device to detect nuclear isotopes intended for use in weapons has been made by scientists from Canada.
