Chemistry World October 17, 2011 Hayley Birch	Quickly sorting cells using DNA A new magnetic cell sorting technique uses principles borrowed from DNA nanodevices. The approach could help scientists rapidly separate different types of cells from complex mixtures.
National Defense November 2011 Dan Parsons	Solar Storms Could Plunge Nation into Darkness Researchers are racing to understand the effects its energy might have on the U.S power grids in hopes that potential cataclysm can be avoided.
Chemistry World October 9, 2011 Phillip Broadwith	Growing gallium nitride LEDs on glass Korean researchers have grown crystalline gallium nitride on the surface of amorphous glass. The idea could lead to new, scalable ways of making semiconductor devices that don't need to be grown on silicon or sapphire wafers.
Chemistry World October 9, 2011 Simon Hadlington	New probe throws light on cellular lipids Scientists in the US have developed a new sensor that can track and measure lipids in living cells.
Chemistry World October 7, 2011 Elinor Richards	Chameleon clothes to detect falling oxygen levels A cloth that changes colour when oxygen levels drop has been developed by scientists in China. The cloth could be used to make clothes that monitor oxygen levels for miners, high altitude adventurers and space explorers.
IEEE Spectrum October 2011 Mark Anderson	Footfalls for Phone Calls New tech could power portable gadgets with every step. The idea of harvesting body energy for portable electronics is certainly not new, although some of this technology is.
Chemistry World September 29, 2011 Carl Saxton	Breathing life into medical devices US scientists have made a device that converts air flow from human breath into electricity. The device could serve as a power source for implantable biomedical devices.
Chemistry World September 26, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Electric vehicles set to charge ahead 'There is a big effort to improve lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles and largely the outcome will be dictated by how the consumer reacts,' says Daniel Abraham, a battery expert at the Argonne National Laboratory in the US.
Chemistry World September 22, 2011 Jon Evans	Pitcher plant inspires ultimate non-stick surface By mimicking the leaves of a carnivorous tropical plant, US scientists have developed a surface so slippery that everything slides off: water, oil, blood, ice, jam and even ants.
Chemistry World September 21, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Laser can detect explosive traces at a distance Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have developed a laser-based explosives detector that can spot 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene at concentrations of 1ng/cm 2, from 15cm away.
