Chemistry World April 15, 2014 Abigail Hallowes	Toilet flushes could help power homes Researchers in South Korea have devised a way to harness the motion of water, including from raindrops or from a flushing toilet, as a sustainable energy source.
Chemistry World April 14, 2014 Mary Macleod	Raman bites into tooth decay Researchers in the US have adapted Raman imaging systems to demonstrate the technique's potential for spotting warning signs of dental cavities.
Chemistry World April 14, 2014 Andy Extance	Nanotubes zip into bundle of solar energy By tightly squeezing light-switching chemical groups along carbon nanotubes, researchers in the US have moved closer to flexibly storing solar energy for later use.
Chemistry World April 10, 2014 Tim Wogan	Nanocrystalline copper turns CO into fuel A new type of nanocrystalline copper electrode that catalyses the electrochemical conversion of carbon monoxide to alcohols has been demonstrated by researchers in the US.
Chemistry World April 9, 2014 Harriet Brewerton	Pumping gone soft In nature many mechanical processes are carried out using soft materials that are nevertheless highly durable, efficient and capable of deforming and returning to their original shape in complex ways, for example the heart.
Chemistry World April 7, 2014 Jessica Cocker	SERS tubing makes intravenous drug delivery safer A sensor that identifies drugs compounds and monitors changes in their concentrations as they enter the body through an intravenous drip could prevent medication mistakes.
Chemistry World April 4, 2014 Charlotte Still	Power up with body heat A thermoelectric generator that converts body heat into electricity could make replacing or recharging batteries in wearable electronics a task of the past.
Chemistry World April 3, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Nanoporous anodes charge up Scientists in China and the US say a new anode material they have created represents a significant step forward in the development of long-life stationary lithium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage systems.
Chemistry World April 3, 2014 Philip Blower	Life atomic: a history of radioisotopes in science and medicine As a career chemist in the field of radioisotopes in medicine, I admit to a faint pride that an academic historian should trouble to chart the origins of my profession in such depth.
Chemistry World April 2, 2014 Megan Tyler	DVD diagnostics A pregnancy test based on standard DVD technology has the potential to be turned into a diagnostic platform that screens for abnormal pregnancies or even testicular cancer.
