Technology Research News January 26, 2005	Plastic Records Infrared Light Researchers have extended the sensitivity of photorefractive polymers so that they can be used at the common infrared communications frequency of 1550 nanometers.
Technology Research News January 26, 2005	Magnetic Logic Becomes Practical Researchers from Stanford University have improved a way to program magnetic random access memory (MRAM) to carry out computations.
Technology Research News January 26, 2005	Plastic Memory Retains Data Researchers in Austria have borrowed a technique from audio recording technology to fashion a new type of computer memory made from organic, or plastic materials.
Wired January 2005 Duff McDonald	The BlackBerry Brain Trust First Mike Lazaridis reinvented the way we get email. Now he's rounded up a bunch of radical thinkers to reinvent physics itself at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.
Technology Research News December 29, 2004	Atom Demo Fixes Quantum Errors Researchers have demonstrated a way to correct errors in qubits of beryllium ions held in an electromagnetic trap.
Technology Research News December 15, 2004 Eric Smalley	Light clock promises finer time Researchers have made a prototype atomic clock that divides time on optical radiation, rather than microwave radiation. Such clocks could eventually improve global positioning systems, make space exploration more accurate, and more accurately test the laws of physics.
Technology Research News December 15, 2004 Kimberly Patch	Physics model predicts book sales Using the same statistical physics methods used to study complex systems such as earthquakes and financial markets, researchers have devised a model that tracks book sales. The method could be used in practical applications within six months to a year.
Technology Research News December 15, 2004	Scheme Simplifies Quantum Chips Researchers have brought practical quantum computers a step closer by proposing a type of quantum bit that is relatively easy to build.
Technology Research News December 15, 2004	Light Writes Info Into Atoms Researchers have demonstrated that it is possible to transfer information encoded in the properties of photons to atoms.
Technology Research News December 1, 2004	Demo Advances Quantum Networking Researchers have transferred information stored in the properties of a cloud of rubidium atoms to the properties of a single photon. The ability to transfer information from atoms to photons is needed for quantum computers.
