Chemistry World January 11, 2011 Elinor Richards	Sensors in the blood Scientists from China have developed a water-soluble zinc-based fluorescent sensor to detect pyrophosphate in blood that isn't affected by the environment and can be used in real blood samples.
Chemistry World January 9, 2011 Mike Brown	Mild route to organohalides using visible light A greener way to convert alcohols to their corresponding bromides and iodides using visible light and without generating wasteful by-products has been developed by US researchers.
Chemistry World January 7, 2011 Jennifer Newton	Microfluidic pinball A device to deposit polymer layers on oil droplets has been made by researchers from Singapore, who say that their design is faster and more efficient than conventional deposition techniques and uses microfluidics.
Chemistry World January 5, 2011 Jon Cartright	Silk woven into transistors Researchers in Sweden and Spain have created transistors woven from modified silk fibres. The breakthrough bodes well for a new generation of electronic circuits that can be incorporated into fabrics or inserted into biological environments.
PC Magazine December 13, 2010 Jamie Lendino	Scientists Develop Self-Healing Plastics Resarchers have now figured out a way to build plastic material that heals itself.
IEEE Spectrum January 2011 Susan Karlin	Game Design: Sometimes It Is Rocket Science Sony executive John Blakely's prior career as a space engineer is more useful than you'd imagine
Chemistry World December 22, 2010 Patricia Pantos	Ferrofluids help you see better US researchers have used ferrofluids as liquid pistons that could be used to make adjustable liquid lenses with nearly perfect spherical interfaces for applications such as an optometrist's phoropter.
Chemistry World December 16, 2010 Elinor Richards	Measuring the strength of garlic Richard Compton and his team from the University of Oxford have made an electrochemical sensor that detects the amount of diallylsulfides in garlic. Larger amounts of diallylsulfides indicate a stronger flavor.
Chemistry World December 15, 2010 Hayley Birch	New technique probes electron properties of individual atoms A new, low voltage electron microscopy technique allows scientists to discriminate not just between atoms of different elements but between atoms of the same element in different electronic states.
Chemistry World December 14, 2010 Phillip Broadwith	Speeding up electrons in solar cells Swiss and Chinese scientists have developed a new way of making the porous TiO2 electrode for solid state dye-sensitised solar cells.
