Chemistry World December 12, 2010 Andy Extance	Images show atom 'spinning top' control This is the first-ever imaging of an atomic angular momentum vector precessing in a magnetic field, a motion analogous to a spinning top spiralling about Earth's gravitational field as it slows.
Chemistry World December 9, 2010 Mike Brown	Lithiation through the lens Scientists have generated high resolution images of lithium ions being deposited on a single nanowire anode, revealing how the material grows and flexes in response to charge.
Chemistry World December 7, 2010 Hayley Birch	Helping nanodevices to self-heal Damaged nanobelts show a surprising ability to 'self-heal' when an electric current is applied, the researchers report.
Chemistry World December 3, 2010 Yuandi Li	Microfluidics to fight cholera A cheap and portable device to detect cholera has been made by Italian researchers that could help significantly reduce the number of cholera related deaths.
Chemistry World December 1, 2010 Laura Howes	Cancers imaged and monitored using firefly glow US scientists have developed a new glowing probe that can signal the presence of hydrogen peroxide in the body, an indicator of tumors or disease.
Chemistry World November 28, 2010 Mike Brown	Water and sunlight: a winning catalytic combination Researchers have incorporated a sunlight-activated trigger into an oxygenation process that uses water as the oxygen source.
Chemistry World November 19, 2010 Philippa Ross	Rise of the micro machines Microjet engines called microbots that can transport cells within a fluid to any desired location have been developed by German scientists.
Chemistry World November 5, 2010 Mike Brown	Nanofibres defuse explosives Researchers have used carbon nanofibres to separate components of a highly sensitive explosive system to make it much safer to use.
Chemistry World November 2, 2010 Hayley Birch	Nanoparticle detector promises fast virus identification The technique, developed by US researchers, can discriminate between different viruses and is sensitive enough to detect the presence of a single virus particle.
Chemistry World November 1, 2010 Laura Howes	Molecular motors find reverse gear Ben Feringa's group at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands been working with molecular motors for years, making small organic molecules that rotate when exposed to light. However, until now these motors have only had a forward gear.
