Chemistry World July 25, 2008 Lewis Brindley	Thermoelectrics doped for better performance Researchers have discovered how to boost the performance of lead telluride, a thermoelectric material that converts heat into electricity: just add thallium.
IEEE Spectrum July 2008 Monica Heger	Thallium Doping Boosts Thermoelectrics Bad for people, but good for energy conversion
Chemistry World July 24, 2008 Victoria Gill	Go ahead for UK national nuclear lab The UK government has given the go-ahead to establishing a national nuclear laboratory (NNL), and launched a competition to find it a commercial operator.
Chemistry World July 17, 2008 Ruth Tunnell	Uncovering the Hidden Nanoworld A new type of x-ray microscope allows scientists to peer inside nanodevices without opening them up.
Chemistry World June 16, 2008 Simon Hadlington	Nano-embrace makes insulators conduct Scientists in The Netherlands have discovered that placing two highly insulating compounds next to each other creates an interface between them that conducts electricity.
Chemistry World May 30, 2008 Richard Van Noorden	New superconductors open up the periodic table For two decades, the search for superconductors that worked at high temperatures was restricted to copper. Now a new family of high-temperature superconductors based on iron has been discovered.
Outside May 2008 Evan Ratliff	Has A Surfer/Snowboarder Who Lives In A Van Rewritten Physics? Maybe. Garrett Lisi opted not to go into academia following his PhD in physics. Instead, he opts to work on his unifying theory for the universe after he hits the waves or slopes.
Popular Mechanics May 23, 2008 Erik Sofge	The Next 5 Extreme Research Machines You Need to Know There's room for more than one groundbreaking megamachine in today's scientific pantheon. Around the globe, natural mysteries are under assault from all kinds of colossal devices.
Chemistry World May 20, 2008 Philip Ball	Core electrons' quantum jig revealed Experiments in quantum mechanics are a little like conversations: the answer you get depends on how you ask the question.
Chemistry World May 16, 2008 Cordelia Sealy	Speedy spectrometer tracks shape-shifting molecules A new microwave spectrometer has allowed US scientists to track molecules writhing through different geometric shapes when excited - opening a new window on their reactivity.
