IEEE Spectrum March 2012 James Turner	Turning a DIY Project into a Product Making something for others, instead of yourself, poses different challenges
Chemistry World February 24, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	How to measure solar cell efficiency correctly Compounding small mistakes in measuring that efficiency can lead to values up to five times higher than the true reading, says Henry Snaith from the University of Oxford, UK.
Chemistry World February 22, 2012 Patrick Walter	Cyclotron remedy for imaging isotope shortages The new technology will result in the decentralization of the production of technetium-99m, with hospitals making the isotope on demand using tabletop cyclotrons.
Chemistry World February 22, 2012 Nina Notman	Mapping the reactivity of single nanocatalysts 'Using super resolution imaging we can map out where catalytic reactions occur on a single nanocatalyst,' says Peng Chen, the lead researcher based at Cornell University.
Chemistry World February 21, 2012 Patrick Walter	Nanocellulose has paper potential A nano form of cellulose could soon displace wood pulp in paper, allowing producers to increase the amount of mineral filler they use when they make paper, thanks to work by a Finnish team.
Chemistry World February 21, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Nanopore sequencing bags its first genome Oxford Nanopore has presented the first complete genome to be sequenced using a nanopore.
Chemistry World February 20, 2012 Patrick Walter	Risk of water pollution by fracking overstated The hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, process - injecting high pressure water, sand and chemicals into a shale bed to release natural gas - is not responsible for groundwater contamination, according to a new study.
IndustryWeek February 15, 2012 Josh Cable	The Future of Robotics in Manufacturing: Moving to the Other Side of the Factory To boldly go where they've never gone before, robots will need to become smarter, cheaper and easier to use. The industry could turn to an unlikely source to get there.
IndustryWeek February 15, 2012 Josh Cable	Industrial Robotics Expand Beyond the Automotive Industry Thanks to the maturation of robotics technology, a growing number of industries are using robots for a wider range of applications.
IndustryWeek February 2, 2012 Josh Cable	Auto-Industry Demand Drives Record Year for Robot Sales But the industry saw gains in other sectors as well. Sales to non-automotive customers grew 27%, led by metalworking industries (up 56%) and semiconductor/electronics/photonics (up 24%), according to the Robotic Industries Association.
