BusinessWeek September 5, 2005 Burt Helm	Horst Stormer And The Next Tiny Thing Scientists are working to harness molecules' natural ability to bond and assemble - and organize into high-performance, nano-size transistors and sophisticated circuits that will make today's computer chips seem like simpletons.
Science News August 13, 2005 Ivars Peterson	Strange Orbits Like toy cars chasing each other on a looped racetrack, three stars can, in principle, trace out a figure-eight orbit in space.
PC Magazine August 3, 2005 John R. Quain	Physics Chips Computing how a car should crash through a wall or how a wave should break can stymie any CPU. To help, Ageia Technologies is readying what it claims is the first ever physics processing unit that will improve the computerized gaming experience.
IEEE Spectrum August 2005 Justin Mullins	Shedding Light On Organic Transistors The first single-crystal organic transistor that can be switched on and off by light is giving physicists a unique peek into the way photons interact with organic semiconductors. The new device could have a major impact on the way OLED displays are manufactured.
Technology Research News July 27, 2005 Eric Smalley	Quantum crypto scheme doubly fast Researchers have found a way to double the speed of information transfer over quantum cryptography systems.
IndustryWeek August 1, 2005 John Teresko	The History Of Nanotechnology Today's popular excitement about the concept of nanotechnology probably dates back to 1959.
D-Lib July 2005 Walker & Saylor	Kinematic Models for Design Digital Library Cornell University Library has built an innovative digital library for learning and teaching about kinematics (the geometry of pure motion) and the history and theory of machines.
Technology Research News July 13, 2005	Light Powers Biochip Gears Researchers have fashioned a type of microgear with center slots that pick up the rotational momentum from light, allowing the gears to rotate when illuminated by a type of polarized light. The devices could eventually be used to pump and mix extremely small amounts of chemicals.
Technology Research News July 13, 2005	Magnetics Drives Particle Patterns Researchers have devised a way to use electric and magnetic fields to assemble magnetic microparticles into a wide variety of patterns, including clusters, rings, chains and networks.
Scientific American July 2005 George Musser	Flaw of Averages Is ordinary matter causing the cosmos to accelerate?
