Chemistry World February 3, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Laser writing makes 'bone like' material Researchers in Germany have used 3D laser lithography to engineer polymer microstructures that mimic the lightweight yet strong properties of cellular materials like wood and bone.
Chemistry World January 30, 2014 Mark Peplow	Virtually excellent A virtual world congress is part of an international benchmarking exercise being conducted by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to assess the UK's reputation in chemical engineering.
CIO January 30, 2014	Will 3D Printing Really Change the World? IDG Communications CEO Michael Friedenberg says it already has, as he contemplates 3-D printing technology that can create things as varied as a human liver and a new home.
Chemistry World January 22, 2014 Tim Wogan	Implant harvests heartbeat power A flexible piezoelectric implant that harnesses energy from the body's natural motions has been developed by researchers in the US and China.
Chemistry World January 22, 2014 Anna Simpson	Magdalena Titirici: Biowaste conversion Research in the Titirici group involves trying to create porous carbon materials from renewable resources such as lignin, cellulose and chitin, as well municipal and agricultural wastes.
Chemistry World January 21, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Cheap and colourful holographic sensors Scientists in the UK have developed a holographic sensor that changes color in response to particular analytes.
Fast Company February 2014 Tara Moore	Preposterous New Plastics Pineapples make car bumpers!... Milk makes chairs!... Bugs make utensils!...
Chemistry World January 9, 2014	Spinning into focus NMR is used by big industry, and scientists in pharmaceutical companies, for example, have appreciated the benefits of NMR spectroscopy for years. It reveals the structure of molecules in a sample, providing more information than some other analytical techniques.
Chemistry World January 8, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Flexible electronics get even more bendy Researchers in Switzerland have developed a method to create electronic membranes that are thin and flexible enough to wrap around a human hair.
Chemistry World January 6, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Rare element substitution a tricky proposition Efforts to develop substitute technologies that do not rely on rare metals are ongoing, and governments around the world are mobilizing resources towards the problem.
