Chemistry World September 7, 2015 Jason Woolford	Subtle forces yield profound effects on heavy element bonding Using theoretical calculations, researchers have cast a spotlight on the vital role that subtle, and previously overlooked, dispersion forces play in stabilizing p-block heavy element bonding.
Chemistry World September 4, 2015 Hugh Cowley	Hypervalent bonding controversy out for the electron count? A researcher in the UK has presented a controversial new definition for hypervalency that may ignite debates over atomic charge and allow students to draw nitrogen atoms with five covalent bonds.
Chemistry World September 4, 2015 Christine Cardin	X-ray crystallography This Primer is a revised edition of Bill Clegg's popular student text first published in 1998. I
Chemistry World September 3, 2015 Andy Extance	Vitamin makes tricky E/Z flipping easy By looking deep into our eyes -- particularly the chemicals that help us see -- researchers have discovered a cheap, easy route to useful but hard-to-make organic compounds.
Chemistry World September 3, 2015 Elisabeth Ratcliffe	Electric switch makes helix change hands Application of an electric field in the direction opposite to that of the macrodipole reverses the handedness of the structure.
Chemistry World September 2, 2015 Carolyn Devlin	Shrinking hydrogel reinforces fabric for soft yet strong material A hydrogel -- fabric composite that can support a load almost three times greater than the fabric alone has been made by scientists.
Chemistry World September 1, 2015 Jon Cartwright	Electrostatic net kills resistant mosquitoes A mosquito net that binds insecticides with electrostatic forces could be a significant step towards eradicating tropical diseases like malaria and dengue, according to the researchers who have developed it.
Chemistry World September 1, 2015 Jack Busby	Smorgasbord of chemical blueprints located in plain pond algae Genes from a common single-celled organism, pond algae Euglena gracilis, could be manipulated to synthesize a host of unusual, and potentially useful, compounds.
Chemistry World August 31, 2015	The postdoc problem: too many, or the wrong kind? Are concerns about postdoc proliferation valid? Maybe we just need to make their training more diverse, suggests Keith Micoli
Chemistry World August 31, 2015 Matthew Gunther	MOFs with a heart of glass Metal -- organic frameworks have long been the preserve of the solid state domain, but a group of scientists have now produced a molten MOF and cooled it to form a unique glass.
