Chemistry World January 6, 2015 Jon Cartwright	Mystery of why 'structural red' colors are not found in nature is solved Purple, green, blue -- photonic glasses can produce a wide variety of colors. But not red, which is mysteriously absent from both man made and natural microstructures.
Chemistry World January 6, 2015 Jennifer Newton	Light drives unusual rotaxane-to-catenane transformation Researchers in Europe have reported a mechanically-interlocked molecular system that can reversibly switch between being a rotaxane and a catenane.
Chemistry World January 5, 2015 Jennifer Newton	Organic synthons yield hyperbranched crop We offer an image that depicts the first ionic organic nanocrystals to have a sheaf-like structure.
Chemistry World January 5, 2015 Adam Brounsell	Welcome to 2015 and to a new volume Chemistry World demonstrates how science is relevant to everyone, not just scientists. Discoveries never go stale; they are made anew by each person when he or she first encounters them.
Chemistry World January 2, 2015 Thadchajini Retneswaran	Smart nanoparticles take aim at cancer cells Scientists in China have developed an intelligent nanoparticle system that delivers a chemotherapeutic and radiosensitizer drug directly to the nucleus of cancer cells.
Chemistry World December 24, 2014	Happy holidays from Chemistry World Check out these rather festive-looking zinc telluride microspheres. Under visible-light irradiation they can reduce carbon dioxide into methane.
Chemistry World December 23, 2014 Matthew Gunther	Hydrogen superconductivity hammered out on diamond anvil Hydrogen-rich compounds under extreme pressure may be better superconductors than the best conventional ones around, according to scientists in Germany.
Chemistry World December 22, 2014 Andy Extance	Chemistry from the skies promises low-emission nylon raw material Mimicking the breakdown of atmospheric organic compounds has led to a cleaner way to make a key nylon raw material.
Chemistry World December 19, 2014 Maria Burke	'Great outcome' for chemistry in REF 2014 The REF results are hugely important to higher education institutions as they are used by the four UK funding bodies to allocate research funding.
