Chemistry World February 19, 2015 Richard Massey	Infrared camouflage that sticks US scientists have developed an adhesive tape that can help objects match the infrared reflectance of their surroundings and disguise them from being seen by infrared cameras.
Chemistry World February 13, 2015 Andy Extance	X-ray laser snaps first bond-forming transition state Using data from x-ray lasers scientists have reconstructed the formation of the carbon monoxide oxidation transition state.
Chemistry World February 13, 2015 Tim Wogan	GM bacteria convert solar energy to liquid fuels A new scheme for storing the energy from photovoltaic cells, in which genetically modified bacteria reduce carbon dioxide to liquid fuels with hydrogen from water-splitting, has been proposed and partially demonstrated.
Chemistry World February 12, 2015 James Urquhart	MOF sensor sniffs out ammonia An electronic device that exploits the semiconducting properties of a two dimensional metal-organic framework, a material analagous to graphene, has been made for the first time.
Chemistry World February 11, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Silicene 'sandwich' transistor a delectable prospect The world's first one-atom-thick silicon transistor has been made by scientists in the US.
Chemistry World February 10, 2015 Katrina Kramer	Powering up renewables with fullerene enhanced electricity grids Adding tiny amounts of buckyballs to the insulators of high-voltage AC cables makes them more resistant to high voltages, Swedish and Australian researchers have discovered.
Chemistry World February 10, 2015 William Bergius	Next generation lithium -- sulfur batteries given DNA boost In a creative application of rational design, scientists in China have turned to nature to help overcome one of the key challenges facing the most probable successor to the lithium ion battery.
Chemistry World February 9, 2015 Hugh Cowley	Unexpected success with luminescent liquid crystals A simple and effective procedure to incorporate strongly-emitting inorganic clusters into nematic liquid crystals has been reported by a team from France.
Chemistry World February 5, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Electron microscope turned into makeshift nano-thermometer Scientists in the US have developed a thermometer capable of detecting heat changes at the nanoscale.
