IEEE Spectrum January 2013 Rachel Courtland	Foundries Rush 3-D Transistors Nearly two years after Intel, the world's leading foundries scramble to get FinFETs into the hands of chip designers
IEEE Spectrum January 2013 John Boyd	Japan's Digital Grid Scheme Japanese consortium aims to transform the country's centralized grid into islands of interconnected cells
IEEE Spectrum January 2013 Philip E. Ross	Our Annual Crystal Ball Issue We preview the tech news of 2013 -- and save you the embarrassment of being caught off guard when it comes to cellulosic ethanol conversion and other current technology developments like Google's new visor.
IEEE Spectrum January 2013 Robert W. Lucky	Who Can Hold 2 Billion Transistors in His Head at Once? It's impossible to do engineering anymore without using mostly other people's knowledge. Our profession has splintered into many specialties, and they, in turn, into subspecialties.
IEEE Spectrum January 2013 Eliza Strickland	Adrian Cheok: Making a Huggable Internet An inventor builds gear to transmit touches, tastes, and more
IEEE Spectrum January 2013 Weller & Woodcock	Bandwidth Bottleneck The hardware at the heart of the Internet isn't fast enough
IEEE Spectrum January 2013 Rod Furlan	Build Your Own Google Glass A wearable computer that displays information and records video
Chemistry World December 19, 2012	Overcoming small obstacles What if photolithography hits a barrier it cannot breach? That question has motivated scientists to recruit chemistry to a series of printing methods with the power to engineer nanometre-scale materials.
Chemistry World December 19, 2012 Andrea Sella	Wedgwood's pyrometer Josiah Wedgwood. English potter and chemist (1730 -- 1795), invented a system for measuring the extreme heat of kilns and furnaces.
CIO November 16, 2012 Stephanie Overby	IT Robots May Mean the End of Offshore Outsourcing Robotic automation and autonomic systems -- such as those that enable nonengineers to create software or intelligently manage IT infrastructure -- could be an offshore-outsourcing killer.
