Chemistry World October 2, 2013 Andy Extance	Alloy rewrites phase-change rules US researchers have shown that they can predict compositions that greatly delay degradation and failure in alloys that undergo a temperature-induced phase transition, such as shape memory alloys.
Chemistry World October 2, 2013 Michael Parkin	Insect-powered microtweezers Scientists in Japan have developed the first biohybrid microdevice that can function in air. The microtweezers powered by insect muscle tissue could be used to handle cells and other fragile objects as part of a microelectromechanical system.
Chemistry World October 2, 2013 Anthony King	Saving carbon to increase biofuel brewing efficiency Scientists in the US have designed a synthetic pathway for glycolysis that cuts carbon loss and could significantly boost production of biofuels and other chemicals in bio-refineries.
Chemistry World October 1, 2013 Patrick Walter	Malvern sizes up Nanosight fit Malvern Instruments has bought nanoparticle characterization firm Nanosight. Nanosight's principal technology provides measurements of nanoparticle size down to 10nm.
Chemistry World October 1, 2013 Eleanor Merritt	New software for creating green solvents Scientists in France have developed a computer-assisted organic synthesis program to design sustainable solvents from bio-based building blocks.
Chemistry World October 1, 2013 Philip Ball	Crystallography 101 What is perhaps most striking about x-ray crystallography is that in 100 years of existence its significance has only increased.
Chemistry World October 1, 2013 Bibiana Campos Seijo	Divided by a common language I was attended the 246th American Chemical Society meeting in Indianapolis, with other Royal Society of Chemistry colleagues. As one would expect, it was a very interesting and stimulating meeting.
Chemistry World September 30, 2013 Jason Woolford	Mutant enzymes help break cocaine habit An enzyme modified to hydrolyse cocaine 1000 faster than it did before could form the basis of the first medicinal treatment for cocaine addiction.
Chemistry World September 27, 2013 Emma Stoye	First carbon nanotube computer Researchers in the US have unveiled the first computer to be built entirely from carbon nanotube transistors.
Chemistry World September 26, 2013 James Urquhart	Night of the nearly dead steroid Metabolites of a steroid widely used in beef cattle to promote growth have been found to regenerate in the dark after seemingly breaking down during daylight hours.
