Chemistry World September 28, 2015 Anthony King	Chemistry at heart of VW emissions cheating With the company set to recall millions of cars in the US and Europe, it is uncertain if the engines affected by the 'defeat device' can be fixed. Certain components may fail when proper emission controls are switched on, say some experts.
Chemistry World September 28, 2015 Jennifer Newton	Molecular legacy of Antoni Gaudi Scientists in Finland and New Zealand have proposed a new class of hollow all-carbon molecules that emulate models made by Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi.
Chemistry World September 28, 2015 Tim Wogan	Entangled wire confounds with unusual properties A material made from a single, entangled coiled wire actually gets bigger -- its volume increases -- when it's stretched or compressed, researchers in France have shown.
Chemistry World September 28, 2015 Karl Collins	A witches' brew for trifluoromethylation Trifluoromethylating phenols is one example of a reaction that would be incredibly useful when attempting to tune the chemical and biological properties of molecules for pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.
Chemistry World September 25, 2015 Emma Stoye	3D printer uses gel matrix to tie the knot Researchers have found a way to 3D print 'impossible' shapes -- including a thin tube tied in a knot -- out of soft materials by injecting the inks into a gel that solidifies and traps them in place.
Chemistry World September 25, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Single layer perovskite sheet rises to the fore The ultrathin film will allow researchers to probe the electronic properties of the popular photovoltaic material and may lead to a new family of semiconductor components in optoelectronics.
Chemistry World September 25, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Alkaline flow battery charges up renewable energy storage Scientists in the US have developed an alkaline flow battery that they hope will help to tackle the tricky problem of storing energy from renewable power sources such as wind and solar.
Chemistry World September 25, 2015 Derek Lowe	Spice up your compounds You and your team are optimizing a lead compound, as medicinal chemists are wont to do -- varying its structure to improve its potency, selectivity and other properties.
Chemistry World September 24, 2015 Harriet Brewerton	Antibiotics pit against bacterial biofilms Scientists in the US have designed a simple and inexpensive electrochemical device that monitors bacteria metabolites to gauge the effect of antibiotics.
Chemistry World September 24, 2015	A new hope in HIV prevention New microbicide products could turn the tide against Aids for those who need it most: women in sub-Saharan Africa. Dinsa Sachan reports.
