IEEE Spectrum October 2012 David Schneider	Could Supercomputing Turn to Signal Processors (Again)? Texas team says digital signal processors could compete in high-performance computing
IEEE Spectrum October 2012 Ariel Bleicher	Energy Research Network Reaches 100 Gbps U.S. energy agency lights up the first super fast science data network
IEEE Spectrum October 2012 Paul Wallich	Handheld Laser Engraving Laser mouse: A quick-and-dirty tool for engraving large images
IEEE Spectrum October 2012 Mark Anderson	Oldies But Goodies When yesterday's gadgets are better than today's
National Defense November 2012 Eric Beidel	Cheetah Robot Breaks Another Record Developed by Boston Dynamics on behalf of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the robot, called Cheetah, has reached a peak speed of 28.3 mph for a 20-meter split.
National Defense November 2012 Eric Beidel	Spacecraft, Free-Falling Satellites Perform 'Delicate Dance' The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is working with researchers around the world -- including high schoolers -- to solve the problem of synchronizing the movements of tumbling objects in space.
National Defense November 2012 Eric Beidel	Security Software Pinpoints the Unusual BRS Labs' technology allows computers to autonomously learn to recognize unusual behaviors and warn security teams about them.
Chemistry World September 21, 2012 Michael Parkin	'Training' a memristive network Researchers in Italy and Germany have developed an organic memristive device that mimics the adaptive processes occurring in nervous systems such as the human brain.
Chemistry World September 20, 2012 Hayley Birch	Lift off for nanoscale printing A new printing technique developed by US scientists allows them to transfer a pattern with nanoscale features from a stamp onto a surface, achieving surprisingly sharp results. The technique could help bring down the cost of high resolution lithography.
Chemistry World September 20, 2012 Christopher Castleton	Semiconductor doping Until now there has been a rather thin selection of graduate level primers focused on properties and characterization methods for semiconductor point defects. Dopants and Defects in Semiconductors by McCluskey and Haller fills it nicely.
