Chemistry World October 28, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Molecular magnet goes ultracool Researchers have succeeded in cooling a molecular magnet to below 1K, the first time this has been achieved with a nanomagnet.
Chemistry World October 28, 2014 Emma Stoye	2D arsenic allotrope predicted Inspired by recent work on phosphorene, silicene and other two-dimensional allotropes, researchers have been investigating the potential properties of arsenene -- a honeycomb monolayer of arsenic.
Chemistry World October 28, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Dana Roth: Reaching out from the library Dana Roth has worked in a variety of science and engineering library positions. In recognition of his contributions to chemistry education he was made a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry
Chemistry World October 28, 2014 Derek Lowe	Chemical space is big. Really big. We are not going to run out of interesting and useful structures, and the uses that they could be put to are probably also beyond our imagining. In chemical space, we really do have an effectively endless frontier.
Chemistry World October 27, 2014 Emma Cooper	Self-cleaning surfaces from scrap silicone Scientists in China have made a mechanically stable superhydrophobic material from waste silicone.
Chemistry World October 27, 2014 Tim Wogan	Folding rules used to build unnatural proteins Scientists in the UK and US have designed and synthesized unnatural protein structures, using theoretical calculations to explore the factors affecting protein folding and stability.
Chemistry World October 23, 2014 Emma Stoye	Iridium forms compound in +9 oxidation state Scientists have made a compound containing iridium in the +9 oxidation state -- something that has been predicted by theoretical models but never formed experimentally before.
Chemistry World October 23, 2014 Andy Extance	Agilent to exit NMR US-headquartered instrument maker Agilent Technology has stopped taking orders for new nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, leaving many within the chemistry community with tough choices.
Chemistry World October 23, 2014 Hamish Crawford	Cyanide test for cassava A new sensing system that changes color to indicate if a cassava-based foodstuff is safe to eat by checking for hydrogen cyanide has been devised by researchers in Switzerland and Mozambique.
Chemistry World October 23, 2014 Mark Peplow	Two for the price of one Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy gives biologists some of the clearest views of the nanoscale mechanics of living organisms. Three pioneers of the technique -- Eric Betzig, Stefan Hell and W E Moerner -- won this year's Nobel prize in chemistry for their work.
