IEEE Spectrum September 2012 Prachi Patel	Predicting the Future of Drought Prediction Better instruments and models could help scientists forecast droughts years in advance
IEEE Spectrum September 2012 Robert W. Lucky	Disposable Electronics When the back of a cellphone is open, there is apparently nothing inside -- just a big battery and display. I think of it as a true work of art, but its transience may make a consumer think of it as a piece of junk.
IEEE Spectrum September 2012 Alfred Poor	Next-Generation Display Technologies New materials will mean brighter, sharper screens
IEEE Spectrum September 2012 Steven J. Frank	Review: MITx's Online Circuit Design and Analysis Course This latest experiment in remote learning is not for a casual audience
IEEE Spectrum September 2012 Prachi Patel	Where the Jobs Are: 2012 Electrical engineers looking for stable jobs and high salaries should consider the power sector in particular. Outside the power industry, salary offers to engineering grads haven't changed much in a year overall.
Chemistry World August 30, 2012 Helen Gray	Graphene printer helps fight Parkinson's disease Scientists in China have developed a method to produce large-scale, high quality, graphene composite films easily and cheaply. The process could be invaluable in commercializing the material for electrochemical biosensor applications.
Chemistry World August 22, 2012 James Urquhart	Turning wastewater into food German researchers have developed an efficient and environmentally friendly process to recover phosphate from wastewater for use in fertilizer.
IEEE Spectrum August 2012 Emily Waltz	Reading and Writing a Book With DNA Researchers are storing digital information in the form of DNA, but is it practical? Which will get us control of massively large data: electronic or molecular memory?
Chemistry World August 14, 2012 James Urquhart	Flexible lighting is on a roll Researchers in Sweden and Denmark have made flexible light emitting sheets using an efficient roll to roll printing method akin to newspaper printing.
Chemistry World August 13, 2012 Laura Howes	Printing stained glass Bright colors and fine tonal variations have been achieved without a dye or paint in sight. Joel Wang's group at A*STAR in Singapore used nanopillars to print an image at 100,000 dots per inch.
