PC Magazine July 13, 2004 Carol Levin	Top Ten Tech Trends Biomechatronic Man... Wireless USB... WiMAX: The Wireless Net Gets Extreme... The Service-Oriented Nation... Get Out the Mote... Self-Writing Software... High-Definition DVD... Scaling the Language Barrier... VoIP: Getting Better All the Time... Smart Skin...
PC Magazine July 13, 2004 Jim Akin	Nanotechnology Size Matters Incubating inside this tiny world are some big ideas that could improve everything from manufacturing to health care.
Technology Research News June 16, 2004	Chip Miniaturizes Holography Researchers have built a hologram generator on a single circuit board. The device could eventually be used for three-dimensional television, three-dimensional visualization of statistics, and three-dimensional medical imaging.
Technology Research News June 16, 2004	Genes Automate DNA Machines Researchers have taken a step toward automating nanomachines with a method that allows instructions for a DNA-based machine to be contained in a gene, or another stretch of DNA.
Technology Research News June 16, 2004	Scheme Optimizes Light Chips Researchers have borrowed a design tool developed for mechanical engineering to improve the efficiency of nano-size optical waveguides.
Technology Research News June 16, 2004	Silicon Nanowires Grown in Place Researchers have found a way to grow nanowires between pairs of metal electrodes deposited on silicon wafers.
Inc. June 2004 Jim Melloan	Going Up? The private space industry is expected to grow by $7.7 billion in 2004. But many of the fledgling ventures seem extremely risky. Like, say, the company that wants to build an elevator to the stars.
Technology Research News June 2, 2004 Eric Smalley	Rules Aim to Get Devices Talking There's no guarantee that future household devices that are designed to be smart will be able to get along with each other in order to seamlessly serve our needs. A set of game-like rules could help devices cooperate with each other.
Technology Research News June 2, 2004 Kimberly Patch	Access Patterns Organize Data An information retrieval method that mimics the way the brain links neurons causes data to organize itself and could eventually allow information repositories like the Internet to self-organize based on the way users access information.
Technology Research News June 2, 2004 Eric Smalley	Atom-Photon Link Demoed Getting atoms and photons to exchange information is crucial for many quantum computer designs. The first verified atom-photon entanglement shows that it's not so hard to do, as long as you can accept a low success rate.
