Chemistry World May 13, 2014 Tim Wogan	Chemistry calculations reveal Earth's inner core Theoretical calculations have confirmed that the Earth's core contains a significant proportion of oxygen.
Chemistry World May 8, 2014 John Emsley	The elements: an illustrated history of the periodic table Tom Jackson is a prolific writer of popular science books aimed mainly at children. He's written more than 80 of them, and now he's turned his lively mind to making the history of the periodic table both informative and interesting.
Chemistry World May 12, 2014 David Bradley	Elemental discoveries at the cellular level A combination of two high-power analytical techniques -- synchrotron radiation microscopy and atomic force microscopy -- has allowed Italy scientists to map vital elements in a single cancer cell.
Chemistry World May 9, 2014 Helen Bache	Salt lakes worth their lithium Researchers in Japan have demonstrated the exceptional potential of a hydrated titanium oxide to extract lithium from salt lake brine collected from Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, the world's largest salt flat.
Chemistry World May 9, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Stan Golunski: Sustaining catalytic collaborations Stan Golunski is a professor of catalysis and deputy director of the Cardiff Catalysis Institute. His research is in areas of heterogeneous catalysis that can be applied both synthetically and for environmental control.
Chemistry World April 17, 2014 Robert Jackson	UCL chemistry department: 1828--1974 As well as describing the history of University College London chemistry, this book mentions the staff, as well as information about the buildings occupied. There's plenty of chemistry as well, which is a very nice touch.
Chemistry World May 8, 2014 Tim Wogan	Polymer sets new self-healing record A new self-healing polymer that can repair holes far larger than any material before -- up to 3cm wide -- has been unveiled by US researchers.
Chemistry World May 8, 2014 Anthony King	Glowing roads take a rain check Glow in the dark paint for road markings have hit a spot of bother in an outdoor trial in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, the paint is getting washed away in the rain.
Chemistry World May 8, 2014 Cally Haynes	Supramolecular velcro unzipped by a voltage Scientists in China have designed a velcro-like material held together by non-covalent interactions that can be unfastened by electrical means and refastened again under pressure.
Chemistry World May 8, 2014	Mandelalide A The recent synthesis of the proposed structure of mandelalide A is a good example of a well-designed route that seamlessly integrates some cutting-edge chemistry.
