Chemistry World September 2009	Column: The crucible Philip Ball looks at a new device that creates energy from salinity differences between fresh and sea water
Chemistry World August 27, 2009 Nina Notman	Molecules in close-up A tuning-fork-like device than measures atomic forces is able to image every single atom in a molecule, according to its Swiss inventors.
Popular Mechanics September 2009	5 Metamaterials That Make Matter Invisible, Silent or Blindingly Fast When nature can't supply raw ingredients for next-generation hardware, scientists create their own.
Chemistry World August 24, 2009 James Urquhart	Separating isomers with electric fields A new technique uses electrostatic fields at ultracold temperatures to isolate individual conformational isomers from a complex molecule.
Scientific American September 2009 Michael Moyer	Quantum Entanglement, Photosynthesis and Better Solar Cells Quantum details of plants' food-making ability could improve photovoltaic technology
Chemistry World August 17, 2009 Lewis Brindley	DNA shapes up for nanoelectronic devices Researchers have taken a step towards the next generation of high-speed computer chips by controlling how triangle-shaped pieces of DNA mount themselves on a surface.
Chemistry World August 16, 2009 Hayley Birch	Nanotubes promise ultra-small wearable oxygen sensors US researchers have created tiny oxygen-sensing devices made from carbon nanotubes.
Chemistry World August 14, 2009 Jon Cartwright	Nanomotors detect trace silver Researchers in the US and Germany have found that the speed of synthetic 'nanomotors' responds to nearby concentrations of silver.
Chemistry World August 13, 2009 Simon Hadlington	Forcing enzyme activity New research has shown that physically stretching an enzyme can trigger its activity - even when the active site is not hidden in a 'cryptic' position. Mechanical force may play a more important role in biological molecular systems than previously realized.
Chemistry World August 12, 2009 Jon Cartwright	Exposing nano-objects' molecular make up Chemists in the US have developed a new technique to identify individual nano-objects via their molecular structure. The technique involves bombarding the nano-objects with single clusters of gold atoms.
