Chemistry World January 19, 2012 Jon Evans	New microbe turns sugary seaweed into fuel Seaweed may soon be a source of biofuel, thanks to an engineered microbe able to transform seaweed directly into ethanol.
Chemistry World January 19, 2012 Elinor Richards	Korean doors inspire new energy converter In a setup resembling traditional Korean doors, scientists from Korea have made dye-sensitised solar cells that are bendy enough to be rolled around a pen and twisted, while maintaining their energy conversion efficiency at 90% of that of the flat form.
Chemistry World January 19, 2012 Rebecca Brodie	Efficiently harvesting the power of the sun Scientists from Japan and India have created a dye-sensitised solar cell with the highest recorded efficiency of 11.4%, breaking the record set five years ago.
National Defense February 2012 Sandra I. Erwin	Stronger-Than-Steel Light Combat Trucks Still a Pipedream The JLTV program, intended for both the Army and the Marine Corps, is becoming a test case for how far military and industry engineers can push the boundaries of armor technology as they seek a truck to replace the Humvee later this decade.
