IEEE Spectrum April 2011 Neil Savage	Diodes Built Inside Fiber More complex nanocircuits possible, say engineers.
IEEE Spectrum April 2011 Joseph Calamia	Solar-Powered Eye Sensor A cornea-implanted computer can monitor the eyeball's pressure
IEEE Spectrum April 2011 Susan Karlin	A Car That's Faster Than a Speeding Bullet British pilot Andy Green has already gone faster on the ground than most things go in the air. Now he's aiming for 1000 mph by 2012
IEEE Spectrum April 2011 Samuel K. Moore	China's Supercomputing Prowess As with gross domestic product, China is now solidly No. 2
IEEE Spectrum April 2011 William Sweet	Civility of Climate Fixing the Sky is about the history of weather modification schemes, while Merchants of Doubt mainly concerns missile defense, acid rain, ozone depletion, and secondhand tobacco smoke.
IEEE Spectrum April 2011 Susan Karlin	Masi Oka: Acting Like a Nerd The graphics programmer and "Hawaii Five-0" actor channels his inner geek
IEEE Spectrum April 2011 David Schneider	The Shape of Things to Come You don't need a 3-D printer to get 3-D-printed parts
Chemistry World March 31, 2011 Mike Brown	Electrifying polymers Scientists in the US and Italy have used electricity to control atom transfer radical polymerisation reactions, industrially significant reactions for producing plastics.
Chemistry World March 31, 2011 Laura Howes	Cheap and efficient artificial leaf debuted Scientists in the US say they have produced a 100W 'artificial leaf' that uses sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, but costs under $50 to manufacture. They generate energy from sunlight by mimicking plant processes.
Chemistry World March 30, 2011 Jon Cartwright	Nanotubes spot damage Researchers in the US have created a new system for monitoring structural damage in real time. Based on a carbon nanotube composite, the system uses thermal imaging to reveal areas of unsafe cracks and stresses.
