Chemistry World September 9, 2014 Katie Bayliss	Colloidal caterpillars get a wiggle on Researchers have devised a new method to transport micro cargo -- by attaching it to chains of colloidal particles that wiggle their way through liquid crystals.
Chemistry World September 5, 2014 Katie Lian Hui Lim	Urine test could catch lung cancer early Lung cancer could be identified earlier, thanks to a new test that uses surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy to detect a cancer biomarker in urine.
Chemistry World September 3, 2014 Philip Ball	Does life play dice? Those two attention-grabbers, physics and biology, are appropriating what essentially belongs to chemistry. All of the facets of quantum biology that are so far reasonably established, or at least well grounded in experiment and theory, are chemical ones.
Chemistry World September 2, 2014 Jon Cartwright	Flexible solar cell woven into fabric There could soon be a way to power wearable electronics indefinitely, now that scientists in China have developed a solar cell 'textile' that could be woven into clothes.
Chemistry World August 29, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Rigid molecular wires make electrons fly Researchers in Germany and Japan have shown that a new type of organic molecular wire -- which is flat and rigid -- can transfer electrons at more than 800 times the speed of its conventional, flexible counterpart.
Chemistry World August 28, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Illuminating test measures fat in milk The first fluorescent probe for measuring fat levels in milk is poised to enhance milk quality control processes, particularly in resource-limited regions.
Chemistry World August 24, 2014 Graeme Cooke	Organic photovoltaics: materials, device physics, and manufacturing technologies In this second edition, the editors and contributors have produced an excellent book that encompasses the key aspects of a rapidly expanding and exciting field.
Chemistry World August 21, 2014 Jonathan Midgley	Redirecting electrons boosts algal hydrogen generation Scientists have developed a highly targeted metabolic engineering technique to control the flow of electrons produced by the initial stages of photosynthesis in microalgae.
Chemistry World August 18, 2014 Laura Fisher	Radiolabels help evaluate emerging cancer treatment Researchers in Spain have come up with a way to track the biodistribution of a boron cluster complex used to prepare boron-carrier drugs for a prospective cancer treatment called boron neutron capture therapy.
Chemistry World August 14, 2014 Elisabeth Ratcliffe	Photoredox route to medically-important heterocycles Researchers in the US have developed a new photo catalyzed coupling reaction that could provide a pathway to a huge number of biologically active compounds.
