Chemistry World November 14, 2013 James Urquhart	Mysterious selectivity of nature's blowtorches solved US researchers have solved the long-standing mystery of how cytochrome P450 enzymes generate intermediates to perform demanding oxidations of inert C -- H bonds without damaging their fragile protein network in the process.
Chemistry World November 14, 2013 William Clegg	Symmetry relationships between crystal structures Ulrich Muller's book brings together material from a number of sources, particularly texts from Hans Wondratschek and Hartmut Barnighausen and draws extensively on the contents of the most relevant volumes of the International tables for crystallography concerning symmetry.
Chemistry World November 13, 2013 Matthew Smith	Illuminating probes identify amino acids The method proposed by researchers at Bowling Green State University in Ohio analyses fluorescence signals when guest europium ions are displaced from an array of two cucurbituril host probes.
Chemistry World November 12, 2013 Michael Parkin	Patterning graphene onto complex surfaces Graphene could find use in next-generation flexible electronic devices thanks to scientists in Taiwan and the US who have developed a low cost and scalable method to pattern graphene onto 3D surfaces.
Chemistry World November 12, 2013 Margaret West	X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and related techniques: an introduction This book by Margui and Van Grieken is a tutorial providing an up to date description of the fundamentals of x-ray fluorescence techniques including an overview of instrumentation, sample preparation procedures and applications.
Chemistry World November 11, 2013 Charlie Quigg	Detecting iron the smart way Central to the new technique is 8-hydroxyquinoline, a particularly stable iron chelator, which is immobilized on a polymer disk and will change color depending on the amount of iron chelated to it.
Chemistry World November 8, 2013 Rowan Frame	Big data approach to solar cells After 150 million theoretical calculations, scientists at Harvard University in the US reveal results that could cut down the time and cost of experimental tests to find better organic electronic materials for solar cells.
Chemistry World November 8, 2013 Michael Gross	Speeding up the experiment to fit the simulation In 1997, several groups used atomic force microscopy or laser tweezers to pull single molecules or fragments of titin until some of its domains (structural units) came apart.
Chemistry World November 7, 2013 Polly Wilson	Hydrogen adopts alkali metal position For the first time, scientists have shown that hydrogen can stand in for alkali metals in typical alkali metal structures.
Chemistry World November 7, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Rocket-propelled read-out for new DNA chip US researchers have invented a lab-on-a-chip that can measure how much of a specific strand of DNA is in a sample using a 'rocket-propelled' thread of ink that can be read by eye.
