Chemistry World October 31, 2013 Simon Hadlington	US researchers create 'cleanest' graphene yet US scientists seeking to develop new ways to make electrical contacts on graphene have killed two birds with one stone.
Chemistry World October 30, 2013 Emma Stoye	Lab in a Leidenfrost drop Scientists in Germany have been making nanoparticles inside tiny water droplets that levitate above a hot plate on a layer of their own steam.
Chemistry World October 25, 2013 James Urquhart	Water droplets warped into weird shapes US scientists have discovered that self-assembling nanoparticles can lock water droplets into different shapes. The team suggests the work could be useful for several applications including microfluidic devices, sensors and drug delivery.
Chemistry World October 23, 2013 Emma Eley	Synthesis by sunlight Sustainable oxidation reactions can be performed with inexpensive and readily available photovoltaic cells
Chemistry World October 23, 2013 Manisha Lalloo	NMR thermometer takes reactor's temperature Scientists in the US have used NMR to create temperature maps of reactions taking place inside catalytic reactors. Their technique opens the door to an easy, non-invasive way to discover hot and cold 'spots' inside reactors.
Chemistry World October 23, 2013	Models of success The 2013 Nobel prize in chemistry was awarded to three computational pioneers who combined quantum and classical mechanics. Emma Stoye learns about the latest laureates
Chemistry World October 22, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Virtual molds cast colloid Blue Mosque A way to direct colloids to self-assemble in an almost infinite variety of configurations has been devised. The technique relies on the creation of a pre-determined pattern of magnetic fields to generate a 'virtual mold' to dictate the final position of the particles.
Chemistry World October 22, 2013 Marie Cote	Oliver Kappe: Freedom to explore Oliver Kappe is professor of chemistry at the University of Graz in Austria. Research in the Kappe group focuses on enabling technologies for synthesis, including microwave and continuous flow methods.
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.
Chemistry World October 18, 2013 Peter Atkins	Thermodynamics Although instructors might find some points of interest, I doubt whether any undergraduate would find this text by Peter Jacobs stimulating or illuminating enough to add it to their collection.
