Chemistry World April 14, 2014 Andy Extance	Nanotubes zip into bundle of solar energy By tightly squeezing light-switching chemical groups along carbon nanotubes, researchers in the US have moved closer to flexibly storing solar energy for later use.
Chemistry World April 11, 2014	Former chief executive of Royal Society of Chemistry dies As leader of the Chemical Society, John Ruck Keene oversaw its amalgamation with the Royal Institute of Chemistry, Faraday Society and Society for Analytical Chemistry to become the RSC in 1980.
Chemistry World April 11, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Redefining moisturizer Cosmetic scientists have long known that glycerol and urea both have the ability to restore moisture to dry skin. But exactly how they do this is a matter of speculation.
Chemistry World April 11, 2014	The sultan of synthesis Phil Baran is spurring organic chemists to rethink how they make complex compounds, as Mark Peplow discovers
Chemistry World April 10, 2014 Tim Wogan	Nanocrystalline copper turns CO into fuel A new type of nanocrystalline copper electrode that catalyses the electrochemical conversion of carbon monoxide to alcohols has been demonstrated by researchers in the US.
Chemistry World April 9, 2014 Harriet Brewerton	Pumping gone soft In nature many mechanical processes are carried out using soft materials that are nevertheless highly durable, efficient and capable of deforming and returning to their original shape in complex ways, for example the heart.
Chemistry World April 8, 2014 Powell & Lancaster	Strength in numbers Analytical science in all its forms makes an enormous contribution to the bottom line and we need a body of analytical chemists capable of both developing new measurement techniques and of applying those that already exist in new ways.
Chemistry World April 8, 2014 Katia Moskvitch	Gel to heal divide between bones and surgical implants A new gel developed by researchers at Uppsala University, Sweden, could lead to a smart coating that makes it easier to fuse surgical implants with bone tissue by reducing the chances of rejection by the body.
Chemistry World April 7, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Isolation of cyanoformate suggests new carbon capture approaches The formation of the cyanoformate ion helps to explain why plants' ethylene producing enzymes aren't poisoned by cyanide
Chemistry World April 7, 2014 Jessica Cocker	SERS tubing makes intravenous drug delivery safer A sensor that identifies drugs compounds and monitors changes in their concentrations as they enter the body through an intravenous drip could prevent medication mistakes.
