Popular Mechanics June 2007 Davin Coburn	Baseball Physics: Anatomy of a Home Run In less time than it takes to blink an eye, pro hitters routinely achieve the extraordinary. Here's how home runs happen.
Popular Mechanics June 2007 Jeff Wise	World's Biggest Science Project Aims to Unlock 'God Particle' The energy released by the Large Hadron Collider could at last nail down that holy grail of contemporary physics, the Higgs boson, and may even finally unveil the secret of dark matter.
Chemistry World May 3, 2007 Victoria Gill	Particle Physics Gets Smaller Plans for a prototype of an unusually simple, small particle accelerator have been unveiled by the University of Manchester.
Chemistry World May 2, 2007 James Mitchell Crow	Chemists Arrive at the Island of Stability Despite predictions of exotic properties, 'superheavy' element 112 behaves like one of the family, say radiochemists in Switzerland.
IEEE Spectrum May 2007 Giselle Weiss	Big Magnet Glitch at World's Top Particle Accelerator Officials at CERN believe they have found a solution to the latest hitch in the construction of the Large Hadron Collider, a state-of-the-art particle accelerator.
Chemistry World May 2007 Philip Ball	The Crucible Reflections on the long-running debate about how colloids stick together.
IEEE Spectrum May 2007 Giselle Weiss	CERN's Discerning Detectors Detecting and processing Higgs boson particles has required scientists and engineers to develop silicon pixel sensors for a new kind of detector. The new device is the latest in several generations of electronic particle detectors introduced since the late 1960s.
Chemistry World April 25, 2007 Victoria Gill	Nanoscale Scales Scientists at MIT have designed a device able to accurately weigh single nanoparticles within a liquid. The new technique is based on the ultra-sensitive mass detection made possible by nanomechanical resonators.
Chemistry World April 23, 2007 Tom Westgate	Green Tea's Secret Tunneling Revealed Scientists have used quantum mechanics to work out why green tea is good for you. The health benefits of the brew are all down to a quirk of the quantum world known as tunneling, they say.
Military & Aerospace Electronics April 2007 Courtney E. Howard	BAE Institute Demonstrates First Photonic Laser Thruster Dr. Young Bae has demonstrated a photonic laser thruster (PLT), reportedly bringing the concept of laser light-powered rockets closer to reality.
