IEEE Spectrum February 2012 John Kappenman	A Perfect Storm of Planetary Proportions The approach of the solar maximum is an urgent reminder that power grids everywhere are more vulnerable than ever to geomagnetic effects
Chemistry World January 23, 2012 Steve Down	Asteroid Ages United by New Isotope Standard Meteorites derived from hydrous asteroids suggest that these space bodies formed later than other asteroids.
National Defense February 2012 Dan Parsons	Catastrophic Solar Flare Scenario Touches Off Stormy Debate Energy from solar flares can harm electrical grids on Earth, but a new study says the sun probably won't plunge the United States into the Dark Ages, as some theorists have said.
National Defense February 2012 Eric Beidel	DARPA Eyes Space Junk From the Ground The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, though, is wrapping up a demonstration with a new Space Surveillance Telescope that officials say will offer an unprecedented view of objects in space.
National Defense February 2012 Eric Beidel	Booster Sought To Launch and Launch Some More When rocket boosters propel a vehicle into space, it usually is a one-time deal. Parts of a launch system burn up, fall into the ocean or remain in an orbital graveyard never to be used again.
Fast Company January 9, 2012 Emma Haak	Private Spacecrafts Are Your Transportation, Your Scientists, And Your Real Estate Brokers In the absence of NASA's Space Shuttle Program, private companies are left to fill the black hole of space exploration. Now, 50 years after John Glenn orbited the Earth, some very different kinds of explorers are leading the way.
IEEE Spectrum January 2012 James Oberg	Private Spaceflight: Up, Up, and Away This year, commercial spaceflight will really take off
IEEE Spectrum January 2012 Rachel Courtland	Single Blue Planet Seeks Same In 2012, a new exoplanet hunter will look for worlds like our own
Chemistry World December 16, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Radical experiment assesses interstellar nitrogen Radical reactions are challenging to measure at cold temperatures, but an international team of researchers have recently clocked the rate for atomic nitrogen and hydroxyl radicals at 56K.
Chemistry World November 22, 2011 Anthony King	Nasa turns to the dark side with new material NASA scientists have embraced the dark side, creating the blackest material ever. It absorbs almost all light across multiple wavelengths and promises to open new frontiers in space technology.
