Chemistry World October 11, 2013 Andy Extance	'Tetrel bonding' emerges from I -hole Researchers have coined the term 'tetrel bonding' to highlight little-studied but powerful non-covalent bonding between electron donors and the group 14 elements, silicon, germanium and tin.
Chemistry World October 11, 2013 Jennifer Newton	Alcoholic drinks perfect solvents for polymerization International researchers have gone through the contents of their liquor cabinets to see if alcoholic drinks make good solvents for single-electron transfer living radical polymerization. And the answer is an unequivocal yes.
Chemistry World October 11, 2013 Rebecca Brodie	Frank Vanhaecke: Analytical rock star Frank Vanhaecke is a professor of analytical chemistry at Ghent University in Belgium. His research encompasses the determination, speciation and isotopic analysis of trace elements using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.
Chemistry World October 10, 2013 Jon Cartwright	Quasicrystals discovered in oxides Physicists and chemists in Germany have discovered quasiperiodic crystals, or quasicrystals, in oxide materials. The discovery suggests there could be many more quasicrystals out there, despite only a few having been found to date.
Chemistry World October 10, 2013 Rowan Frame	Molten air -- a new class of battery Scientists from the US have invented a new type of battery. The so-called 'molten air batteries' have among the highest electrical storage capacities of all battery types to date.
Chemistry World October 10, 2013 Laura Howes	The dance of glass atoms caught on tape A collaboration between US and German-based researchers has used transmission electron microscopy to watch how the atoms in glass rearrange.
Chemistry World October 9, 2013 Emma Stoye	Computational chemists take Nobel prize The 2013 Nobel prize in chemistry has been awarded to Martin Karplus of Harvard University, US, Michael Levitt of Stanford University, US, and Arieh Warshel of the University of Southern California, US, for "the development of multi-scale models for complex chemical systems."
Chemistry World October 9, 2013 Rebecca Brodie	The private lives of plants Noritada Kaji and colleagues at Nagoya University have created a microfluidic assay that can more accurately investigate pollen tube growth.
Chemistry World October 8, 2013 David Bradley	3D printing bacteria Jason Shear and colleagues at the University of Texas, US, have developed a 3D printing technique that lets them 'construct' defined bacterial communities so that short-range chemical communications and physical interactions between bacteria can be investigated more systematically than ever before.
Chemistry World October 8, 2013 Colin King	Figuring lignin out Lignin gives plants the strength to grow tall but this strength is a barrier to turning plants into biofuels. So researchers in the UK have devised an efficient way to make complex model compounds of lignin to help them figure out the best way to break lignin down.
