Chemistry World August 2, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Hacking into chemical cell phone calls US researchers have made a nanodevice that can eavesdrop on a cell's mutterings, and they say it could be adapted to listen in on conversations between cells.
Chemistry World August 2, 2011 Phillip Broadwith	Protein synthesis hijacked to turn out cyclic peptides Japanese researchers have developed a way of reprogramming the genetic code and using bacteria to make and screen huge libraries of cyclic peptides using unnatural amino acids.
Chemistry World August 2011	Clever comestibles Controlling the microscopic structure of foods could make diet products that help you feel fuller for longer. Emma Davies gets her teeth into some edible colloids
IEEE Spectrum August 2011 Lora G. Weiss	Autonomous Robots in the Fog of War Networks of autonomous robots will someday transform warfare, but significant hurdles remain.
IEEE Spectrum August 2011 Prachi Patel	MIT, You're Not All That A new ranking system puts some lesser-known EE programs above the big-name schools
Chemistry World July 26, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Transparent Lithium Ion Batteries Make Electricity Generating Windows Possible Energy-harvesting windows are a step closer with the development of a transparent lithium ion battery.
Chemistry World July 22, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Self-assembling DNA structures carve out a niche Researchers have used DNA nanostructures to create raised ridges and tiny trenches in silicon dioxide using an etching technique.
Chemistry World July 14, 2011 Emma Shiells	Nanorobots Powered From Beneath the Skin Science fiction comes to life with the latest nanodevice that sits underneath the skin and converts near-infrared light energy into electrical power. This is a promising wireless electrical power source for biological nanorobots for use within the human body.
National Defense August 2011 Grace V. Jean	New Sensor Aims to Give F-35 Pilots a 'Window Into the Night' F-35 fighter pilots will wear a helmet that allows them to peer into the darkness with ease -- but only if a new digital sensor proves itself as capable as or better than existing night vision technology.
National Defense August 2011 Sandra I. Erwin	A New Mission for Military Trucks: Power Generation The new MRAP models come with double the power -- a 400-amp alternator, compared to 200 amps previously. Most of the older trucks have been upgraded to the larger alternator.
