Chemistry World July 29, 2014 Derek Lowe	The crystal ball that can tell lies X-ray crystallography has long had a sort of halo around it as the 'ground truth' of molecular structure, so many chemists are surprised to learn how rife with error it can be.
Chemistry World July 28, 2014 Paul Gilbert	Making the modern world: materials and dematerialization This book serves as a timely reminder of the importance of addressing society's unchecked and imbalanced use of materials.
Chemistry World July 28, 2014 Tim Wogan	Better batteries with pure lithium anodes Researchers in the US have developed a coating that could allow next generation batteries to have pure lithium anodes.
Chemistry World July 28, 2014 William Bergius	Plant plastics reach for the stars Researchers in Finland have transformed rice starch into a temporally stable, optically transparent, biodegradable plastic with a high degree of mechanical strength and good thermal resistance.
Chemistry World July 28, 2014 Philip Ball	The fascinating in the familiar Over the past several decades we see the re-emergence of problems such as light scattering in disordered media to self-organization in granular materials or the spreading of coffee stains.
Chemistry World July 27, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Propeller-shaped molecules give 2D polymers lift-off Crystal engineers have finally succeeded in achieving a goal that has eluded chemists for decades by unambiguously synthesizing two-dimensional polymer crystals, confirmed by single-crystal x-ray diffraction.
Chemistry World July 25, 2014 Polly Wilson	Uranium complexes unlock feedstock potential of carbon dioxide European scientists have synthesized uranium complexes that take them a step closer to producing commodity chemicals from carbon dioxide.
Chemistry World July 25, 2014 Emma Stoye	Magnetic nanocubes self-assemble into spirals Scientists have been coaxing nano-sized cubes of magnetite (Fe 3O 4) into larger, more complex structures like helices without using a template by exposing them to a magnetic field.
Chemistry World July 24, 2014 Andrew Williams	Europe mulls best way to handle nanotech Nanomaterials can end up in all sorts of items. Now there is a drive in Europe to get manufacturers to declare them.
Chemistry World July 23, 2014 Emma Stoye	Former Royal Society of Chemistry president Lord Lewis dies Lord Jack Lewis was known for his inorganic chemistry research, as well as his contributions to science policy in the House of Lords.
