Chemistry World November 19, 2013 Jessica Brand	From seaweed to solar cells After years of using platinum, scientists suggest they could one day use extracts from marine plants to replace it in solar cells.
Fast Company Dec 2013/Jan 2014 Paul Watcher	Making Senses Last December, IBM's VP of innovation predicted that computers would be able to mimic all five of the senses. Recent advances in perception technology actually make that halfdecade timeline look too conservative.
Chemistry World November 12, 2013 Michael Parkin	Patterning graphene onto complex surfaces Graphene could find use in next-generation flexible electronic devices thanks to scientists in Taiwan and the US who have developed a low cost and scalable method to pattern graphene onto 3D surfaces.
Chemistry World November 8, 2013 Rowan Frame	Big data approach to solar cells After 150 million theoretical calculations, scientists at Harvard University in the US reveal results that could cut down the time and cost of experimental tests to find better organic electronic materials for solar cells.
Chemistry World November 7, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Rocket-propelled read-out for new DNA chip US researchers have invented a lab-on-a-chip that can measure how much of a specific strand of DNA is in a sample using a 'rocket-propelled' thread of ink that can be read by eye.
Chemistry World November 4, 2013 Andrea Sella	Lichtenberg's figures Georg Lichtenberg (1742 -- 1799) was a German physicist and satirist. He invented the basis of electrostatic printing and discovered the fractal patterns produced by electricity passing through an insulator
Chemistry World November 1, 2013 Megan Tyler	High-throughput chip for drug screening in 3D A simple micro-array chip developed by scientists in China could sharpen the search for new drugs by enabling the high-throughput screening of drug candidates against cells cultured in three dimensions.
National Defense December 2013 Stew Magnuson	Simulator to Help Developers Push Robotics Technology Forward A simulator intended to give robot makers a hand during a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contest is expected to remain an integral part of how developers design the machines in the future.
Information Today October 24, 2013	Springer Announces Korean OA Journal and Book Series Springer Science+Business Media will publish new South Korean content in partnership with the Korea Nano Technology Research Society and KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) Press.
Chemistry World October 21, 2013 Helen Bache	Sustainable materials sound good Cellulose fibers covered with magnetic nanoparticles have been used to make ultrathin loudspeakers by researchers in Sweden. The material could provide a cheaper and more sustainable alternative to the polymers traditionally used in speakers.
