Chemistry World March 18, 2011 Holly Sheahan	Cool roof coating inspired by the poplar leaf The coating could be used on the outside of buildings to counteract the heating effect of carbon dioxide emissions, reducing the energy needed to cool the building from the inside.
Chemistry World March 18, 2011 Elinor Richards	The way to pain-free uterine disease detection A potential non-invasive method to detect endometriosis by acquiring a spectral signature of the uterus has been developed by scientists from the UK.
BusinessWeek March 17, 2011 Karen A. Frenkel	Roger Hine's Seagoing Robot The engineer quit Asyst to found Liquid Robotics and invent the Wave Glider, which trolls the sea and returns undamaged.
Chemistry World March 17, 2011 Elinor Richards	Cleaning up nuclear storage ponds UK scientists have analysed the chemistry taking place in storage ponds at nuclear power sites, such as Sellafield, to come up with a way to remove radioactive waste as nuclear regulatory bodies are pressing on the nuclear industry to clean up the ponds.
Chemistry World March 11, 2011 Harriet Brewerton	Drawing batteries Scientists in Japan have made an electrode for a lithium-air battery using a pencil. The advance could bring efficient, environmentally friendly and safe batteries for electric vehicles a step closer.
Chemistry World March 11, 2011 Elinor Richards	Making baby food safer Scientists from Spain have used a lab on a chip device to quickly analyse levels of zearalenone, a contaminant, in infant foods with a detection limit below legislative requirements.
Chemistry World March 11, 2011 David Barden	Out of the blue - a new phosphor for flat screen displays Materials chemists in China have developed a compound that they believe should improve the quality of field emission displays, bringing applications a step closer.
Chemistry World March 10, 2011 Elinor Richards	3D model to study breast cancer Scientists from the US have made a computational model of the formation of breast acini, the sac-like part of the milk-producing glands, to understand complex events occurring during the progression of breast cancer.
National Defense April 2011 Grace V. Jean	Landing Gear Prototypes for Robotic Birds Take Off The Defense Department is pursuing the development of bird-like and insect-sized flying robots to give troops more overhead surveillance options in future conflicts.
National Defense April 2011 Eric Beidel	Could Direct Solar Fuels Power Military Vehicles? The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's counterpart at the Energy Department, ARPA-E, is funding a handful of initiatives aimed at creating processes to develop direct solar fuels.
