Chemistry World August 1, 2010 Phillip Broadwith	Magnetic foam bends and stretches Flexible lightweight magnetic materials based on cellulose fibres and magnetic nanoparticles have been developed by European scientists.
Chemistry World August 1, 2010 Mike Brown	Snapshots of mystery molecular structures Researchers have used atomic force microscopy to produce clear molecular images that can help determine the correct atomic structure of unknown organic molecules.
IEEE Spectrum August 2010 Mark Harris	MRI Lie Detectors Can magnetic-resonance imaging show whether people are telling the truth?
IEEE Spectrum August 2010	Reporting From the Field Freelance writer Mark Harris tests an MRI-based lie detector
Chemistry World July 29, 2010 Carol Stanier	Methane all lined up Swiss researchers have found that the way methane molecules vibrate when they hit a nickel surface can have a huge effect on their reactivity.
Chemistry World July 29, 2010 Phillip Broadwith	Bubble powered microengines push forward Microscopic jet engines powered by an enzyme that makes bubbles of oxygen from hydrogen peroxide fuel have been developed by chemists in Germany.
Chemistry World July 28, 2010 Andy Extance	Molecular interference reveals reactions Scientists can now see atoms reacting on the femtosecond timescale in unprecedented detail, thanks to a laser technique developed at the University of Ottawa.
Chemistry World July 26, 2010 Phillip Broadwith	Predicting nanoparticle toxicity Judging nanoparticle toxicity could be made easier by a new theoretical model that predicts which materials will make nanoparticles that could damage living cells. The model can predict the available electronic energy levels in the nanoparticle structure
Chemistry World July 13, 2010 Lewis Brindley	Magnetic micro-machines made from liquid iron Chinese researchers have made microscopic springs and turbines by shining light through ferrofluids - liquids containing iron nanoparticles.
Chemistry World July 11, 2010 Mike Brown	Make some noise for smart fibres Fibres made of multiple materials could function as communication transceivers, emitting an electrical response or sound when the fibres are put under stress or subject to acoustic waves of a range of frequencies, say researchers in the US.
