Chemistry World October 11, 2012 Andy Extance	Perovskite posits answer to xenon riddle If meteorites and the Earth were formed from similar materials at the same time, where did the xenon go? Some scientists think that the answer could be found in xenon trapped in the Earth's iron core, or in ice, water or rocks near the surface.
Chemistry World October 9, 2012 Paul Fennell	Carbon capture Clean Energy, Climate and Carbon by Peter Cook, is an excellent introduction to many topics in the field of climate change, with a particular focus on carbon capture and storage technologies.
HHMI Bulletin Fall 2012 Virginia Hughes	Dianne Newman: Connecting Cultures Medical and environmental microbiologists have separate scientific cultures, but the same he same methods geochemists apply to sediments and ice cores can be tweaked for cells, tissues, and organs.
HHMI Bulletin Fall 2012	2012 Holiday Lectures on Science -- Changing Planet: Past, Present, Future In HHMI's 2012 Holiday Lectures on Science, three leading scientists will explore the history of life on Earth and the forces that have shaped, and will continue to shape, our ever-changing planet.
Chemistry World September 13, 2012 Laura Howes	Sponges to mop up marine methane It may seem like the story from a children's cartoon, but Chinese scientist's claim that their sponge could suck up methane from the oceans, helping fight climate change and providing a new energy source at the same time.
Chemistry World September 7, 2012 Andrew Shore	Groundwater arsenic detector Groundwater contaminated with arsenic has led to an epidemic of arsenic poisoning in parts of Bangladesh and India. Scientists in China have developed a sensor to detect arsenic quickly and accurately in water.
Financial Advisor September 2012 Thomas M. Kostigen	From Red To Blue Investors should benefit from ongoing efforts to improve poor water management around the world.
IEEE Spectrum September 2012 Prachi Patel	Predicting the Future of Drought Prediction Better instruments and models could help scientists forecast droughts years in advance
Chemistry World August 31, 2012 Simon Hadlington	'Ocean methane paradox' solved? Numerical simulation of methane production by methanogenic microorganisms suggests that up to 400 billion tonnes of methane could be sitting under the ice. If the ice sheet collapses due to a warming climate, this could release the gas, which in turn would increase warming, the researchers say.
Chemistry World August 22, 2012 James Urquhart	Turning wastewater into food German researchers have developed an efficient and environmentally friendly process to recover phosphate from wastewater for use in fertilizer.
