Technology Research News June 29, 2005 Eric Smalley	Nanowire networks route light Will computer chips using light rather than electricity offer increased computing speed? Research says probably.
Technology Research News June 29, 2005 Kimberly Patch	Physics maps city complexity Researchers used existing biological and social networking models to analyze city streets. Area traffic was directly proportional to the ease of navigation, and street grids were complicated as areas tried to avoid getting too much traffic.
Technology Research News June 29, 2005	Paint program renders ink physics The physics behind the Moxi brush-and-ink style computer painting program is quite complicated.
Technology Research News June 15, 2005	Lens Boosts LED Efficiency One-fifth of the electricity consumed in the U.S. is used for lighting. Researchers have come up with a way to boost light emitted from white light-emitting diodes by as much as 60%.
PC Magazine June 8, 2005 Sebastian Rupley	Sharper Image at Nanoscale Scientists have created a superlens that overcomes a limitation in physics that has constrained the resolution of optical images.
Technology Research News June 1, 2005 Eric Smalley	Movie Captures Trapped Light Slow light, once better understood, could be used to improve devices like sensors and optical communications equipment. Researchers have moved the field forward with a way to directly observe the phenomenon.
Technology Research News June 1, 2005 Eric Smalley	Speedy Photon Detector Debuts Researchers have devised a fast, efficient photon detector that senses individual photons.
Technology Research News June 1, 2005	Going Nano Boosts Thermoelectrics Thermoelectric materials take advantage of the temperature difference between a pair of materials that conduct electricity. Researchers have shown how a thermoelectric material should be designed to reach its maximum possible efficiency.
Technology Research News June 1, 2005	Magnetic Resonance Goes Nano Researchers have built a nuclear magnetic resonance device that has the potential to overcome the quantum bit limit because it is small enough to fit on a computer chip.
Science News May 28, 2005	Quantum Diaries Here is a Web site with links to diaries from physicists around the world that provide a glimpse of their lives throughout the year.
