Chemistry World August 10, 2009 James Urquhart	Stretching for reversible enzyme activation A new kind of biologically inspired nanomaterial that can be chemically turned on and off by mechanical stretching has been devised by French researchers.
Chemistry World August 5, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Zipping photovoltaics up straight Straightening out the backbone of supramolecular self-assembling photovoltaic devices leads to dramatic improvements in device performance, Swiss scientists revealed this week at the Iupac Congress in Glasgow, UK.
Chemistry World July 30, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Smoothing out plasmonic surfaces US scientists have found a simple way to make smooth metal films with nano-scale patterns in a variety of shapes that could one day be used in plasmonic devices that manipulate electromagnetic waves.
Chemistry World July 23, 2009 Hayley Birch	Nanotube growth caught on camera French and US researchers have produced the first video evidence that carbon nanotubes turn as they grow.
Chemistry World July 17, 2009 Andy Extance	Window opened on nanodot domain state formation British and German scientists claim they have directly observed how domain states form in nanometre-scale ferroelectric crystals for the first time.
Chemistry World July 16, 2009 Lewis Brindley	Sound waves speed up sexual assault testing Separating the male and female components of sexual assault evidence using sound waves could vastly cut the time it takes to identify suspects, researchers in the US and Sweden report.
Chemistry World July 16, 2009 Jon Cartwright	Nanoparticles show 'inverse photoconductance' Chemists in the US have created the first material to exhibit 'inverse photoconductance', in which conductance decreases with exposure to visible light.
Science News July 18, 2009 Paul Fendley	Five Problems In Physics Without The Definite Article Most physicists don't consider a phenomenon to be understood until there are both repeatable experiments displaying it and a quantitative theoretical description.
Popular Mechanics June 16, 2009 Joe Pappalardo	Brighter Than Thou: Brookhaven Lab's Newest Particle Accelerator Yesterday, dignitaries gathered at Brookhaven National Laboratory to celebrate the official groundbreaking of a science lab that promises to produce beams of light small enough to aim at resolutions of one nanometer.
Chemistry World May 28, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Nanotube transistors swing both ways Researchers have combined titanium dioxide nanoparticles with carbon nanotubes to make light-sensitive transistors that can be made either to switch on or off in response to UV light.
