Chemistry World March 27, 2012 Laura Howes	Temporary tattoo to give you the sporting edge This Saturday, Nascar racer Paulie Harraka will be using a device based on John Rogers work at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign to monitor his hydration levels as he races.
Chemistry World March 21, 2012 Elinor Richards	Sensor that smells like a dog Scientists in Korea have developed a biosensor for assessing food quality that mimics the way receptors in a canine nose respond to smells.
Chemistry World March 15, 2012 Jon Cartwright	DVD player burns graphene to disc Chemists in the US have used a standard DVD player to reduce films of graphite oxide to graphene.
IndustryWeek March 14, 2012 Doug Bartholomew	Additive Manufacturing Goes Mainstream Making parts by adding -- not subtracting -- material catches on.
Chemistry World March 12, 2012 Francesca Burgoyne	Genetic testing? We've got an app for that US scientists have developed a device dubbed Gene-Z for point-of-care genetic testing using a smartphone interface that has realistic commercial potential.
National Defense April 2012 Stew Magnuson	DHS Centers of Excellence Spared from Budget Cuts The fiscal year 2013 Department of Homeland Security budget proposal seeks to restore some of the huge cuts the Science and Technology Directorate suffered at the hands of Congress last year.
National Defense April 2012 Dan Ward	Faster, Better, Cheaper: Why Not Pick All Three? Before we start making unnecessary tradeoffs, sacrificing speed and performance in the name of thrift, maybe we should reevaluate what happened at NASA in the 1990s. What the data tells me is this: FBC worked, and it's worth another try.
National Defense April 2012 Eric Beidel	DARPA Seeks Funding For Soldier Surrogates Petman is a two-legged robot the size and shape of a human, minus the head. It can walk, crawl and even do push-ups. Machines like this may be able to fight in place of soldiers one day.
Chemistry World March 5, 2012 Harriet Brewerton	Picturing Bacteria on Your Phone US scientists have developed a device that, when attached to a mobile phone, can detect small amounts of Escherichia coli in liquid samples.
Chemistry World March 2, 2012 Holly Sheahan	Piezoelectricity improves solar cell efficiency US researchers have come up with an explanation for their recent results that show that introducing piezoelectric semiconductor nanowires into solar cells improves their efficiency.
