Chemistry World July 4, 2013 Daniel Johnson	Sublime Leidenfrost In the Leidenfrost effect, a liquid collides with a surface much hotter than its boiling point, forming a protective cushion of gas that also becomes an insulating layer, slowing further evaporation.
Chemistry World July 4, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Why is silver deposition so fast? Researchers appear to have solved one of electrochemistry's more baffling mysteries: why it is that metal ions deposit onto an electrode at an apparently unfeasibly fast rate.
Chemistry World July 4, 2013 Andy Extance	Crystal structure closes classic carbocation case German scientists have solved the long-sought crystal structure of an ion at the frontline of a war of interpretation that raged for years.
Chemistry World July 3, 2013 Charlie Quigg	Flat-pack structures build themselves Scientists in the US have developed flat pack structures that can autonomously assemble into three-dimensional shapes on application of an electrical current.
Chemistry World July 2, 2013 Sonja Hampel	Thalidomide teams-up with turmeric to kill myeloma cells Cancer researchers in the US and China have combined the turmeric spice pigment curcumin and the drug thalidomide to create hybrid compounds that can kill multiple myeloma cells.
Chemistry World July 2, 2013 Jeanne Therese Andres	Mapping receptors in the brain Scientists from the UK and Germany have developed new compounds that target and bind to brain proteins linked to serious neurological disorders.
Chemistry World July 2, 2013 Derek Lowe	Target acquired Phenotypic screening has recently seen a revival in popularity. This technique assesses drug candidates first by their effects in some organism, then works back to their causes. It can be an effective strategy, but when you find some interesting results, the need to explain them can become acute.
Chemistry World July 2, 2013 Derek Lowe	Lab's laborers lost? There are excellent scientists who are hopeless at administration, just as there are plenty of capable administrators who should never be allowed near flammable solvents.
Chemistry World July 1, 2013 Laura Howes	Quantum tunnelling in space Interstellar dust clouds might be host to more chemistry than previously imagined.
Chemistry World July 1, 2013 Emily Skinner	Self-powering cloth electronics Flexible electronics are an exciting area of research with foldable displays and wearable electronics being potential uses.
