Chemistry World July 3, 2012 Simon Perks	Ultrafast transistors created in a vacuum Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, US, have come up with a new type of transistor that uses a vacuum to conduct electrons a hundred times faster than the conventional solid-state version.
Chemistry World July 3, 2012 Philip Robinson	Triazine boosts polymer energy storage A team of scientists from Germany and Japan have presented a new principle for storing energy in lithium ion batteries using a porous polymer framework. This could give these new batteries double the energy storage of conventional lithium ion batteries.
AskMen.com July 3, 2012 Dave Golokhov	Higgs Boson Scientists may have made a miraculous discovery of something we've been in search of for a generation. No, it's not Waldo, Paris Hilton's soul or who shot Tupac.
Chemistry World July 1, 2012 Laura Howes	Fish with Crystal Clear Vision Zoologists and physicists in the UK and Germany have teamed up to understand the construction of the elephantnose fish retina, which is very different from our own. Their eyes are another natural example of photonic crystals, like opals.
Chemistry World July 1, 2012 Emma Shiells	Kitchen nanodot chemistry Water-soluble, nitrogen-doped fluorescent carbon nanodots have been made by simply heating soy milk.
Chemistry World July 1, 2012 Andrea Sella	Luggin's capillary The Luggin capillary allowed chemists to get close to reactions at working electrodes
IEEE Spectrum July 2012 Alexander Hellemans	The Quest for 2-D Silicon Silicene -- the silicon analogue to graphene -- could have amazing electronic abilities
Chemistry World June 28, 2012 Laura Howes	Stretching graphene gives quantum dots Graphene's electronic structure is the subject of much study but it seems that this can be altered by the very scanning tunnelling microscopy tips used to probe it.
Chemistry World June 28, 2012 Laura Howes	Hydrophobic display writes on water Scientists in Finland and the UK have created a surface with tunable superhydrophobicity and used it to create a display that can be written on with water.
Chemistry World June 27, 2012 Caryl Richards	Theory of quantum optical devices Semiconductor Quantum Optics by Mackillo Kira and Stephan Koch is an extremely detailed description that rapidly builds on the fundamental concepts to the more esoteric light - -matter phenomena in low-dimensional semiconductors.
