IEEE Spectrum July 2007 Saswato R. Das	Power Tool for Making Nanoscale Objects A physics team uses a special electron microscope to carve tiny gold, silver, and aluminum structures a few nanometers across.
Scientific American August 2007 JR Minkel	The Gedanken Experimenter In putting teleportation, entanglement and other quantum oddities to the test, physicist Anton Zeilinger hopes to find out just how unreal quantum reality can get.
IEEE Spectrum July 2007 Federici et al.	T-Rays vs. Terrorists Terahertz radiation lets security screeners find bombs and weapons wherever they're hidden.
IEEE Spectrum July 2007 Mark Anderson	Virtual Jamming The major problem facing musicians who play together on the Web? Lag. Now new technology cuts lag down to a manageable size. Just what's manageable depends, however, on how far apart the band members are.
Chemistry World June 21, 2007 Michael Gross	A Mirror for the Moon Cosmologists have said that a Moon-based telescope with a parabolic mirror made of a rotating liquid would be ideally suited to studying very distant structures of the universe. Researchers using a chemical approach have now succeeded in creating a liquid based system.
Smithsonian June 2007 Eric Jaffe	Presto! Concealing an object from human vision would require metamaterials dramatically smaller than their present size.
Chemistry World June 11, 2007 Karen Harries-Rees	Ten Year Plan for Australasian Science Australian scientists have launched a vision that sets out the next 10 years of synchrotron science in the country. Australia's synchrotron, which will open this year, will be a jewel in Australian and New Zealand science, they predict.
Chemistry World June 7, 2007 Ned Stafford	German x-Ray Laser Tunnel Gets the go Ahead The German government has approved construction of a 3.4 km-long underground x-ray laser tunnel that will let scientists watch chemical reactions in action at atomic resolution.
Chemistry World June 7, 2007 Lionel Milgrom	Resonance Boost for Truly Wireless Electronics Recharging electronic gadgets requires wired connection to the nearest available mains socket. Now, researchers at MIT have developed a technology they call WiTricity - wireless electricity.
Geotimes June 2007 Kathryn Hansen	So, When Did Earth Become Attractive? Ever since Earth's protective field was discovered in 1958, scientists have been wondering when did the planet grow up and become attractive?
