Chemistry World February 10, 2011 James Urquhart	Molecular motor controls chirality A single molecule catalytic system that uses a light driven molecular motor to dynamically control the molecule's chiral states has been developed by scientists in the Netherlands.
National Defense March 2011 Stew Magnuson	Domestic Unpiloted Aircraft May Use 'Tunneling' to Fly in National Airspace The concept called "tunneling," requires the setting up of safe corridors through airways and the pre-placement of sensors at points along the way.
Chemistry World February 8, 2011 Elinor Richards	The true cost of getting energy from the sun Scientists from Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois have used a simulation that gives distributions of values for variable parameters such as weather, solar panel performance, operating costs and inflation to more accurately reflect the overall cost.
IEEE Spectrum February 2011 Upson & Romero	Find Your Engineering Dream Job Take this interactive quiz to find out which dream jobs are right for you
Chemistry World February 4, 2011 Holly Sheahan	Crime scene DNA testing on the move A microfluidic chip that can come up with a DNA profile in less than three hours has been designed by US scientists for use at crime scenes.
Chemistry World February 3, 2011 Ben Merison	The mystery of the disappearing crystals UK chemists have analysed a fifty year old sample to find out why and say that it's down to impurities. This takes researchers a step closer to understanding why certain pharmaceutical drugs lose their therapeutic effect.
Chemistry World February 1, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Binning battery recycling Recycling has now become part of our everyday lives, with almost all households in the UK required to separate paper, plastic and glass for collection. However, one class of household product was for many years neglected: batteries.
Chemistry World February 2011	Rehabilitating captured CO2 Rather than burying it underground, companies are developing processes that use carbon dioxide emissions as chemical starting materials. Andy Extance investigates
Chemistry World February 2011	What proportion of the world's energy supply will be sustainable by 2020? Three experts from different fields provide insights into scientific and political problems that impact energy stability.
IEEE Spectrum February 2011	Special Report: Dream Jobs 2011 If the words "true bliss" along with "job market" evoke snorts of derision, you need to meet these 10 odds-defying technologists. Learn how you, too, can become the envy of your peers.
