Chemistry World August 15, 2012 Steve Down	Single catalyst for oxidation and reduction of water European scientists have developed a catalyst based on cobalt that generates hydrogen from water in a simple electrochemical process using low overpotentials, with the added bonus that it can also be used to produce oxygen after anodic equilibration.
Chemistry World August 14, 2012 James Urquhart	Flexible lighting is on a roll Researchers in Sweden and Denmark have made flexible light emitting sheets using an efficient roll to roll printing method akin to newspaper printing.
Chemistry World August 14, 2012 Josh Howgego	Quantum mechanics In Search of Schrodinger's Cat, by John Gribbin is a book about how scientists struggled to describe what the nature of reality is really like. Along with tales of the great men who have worked on the puzzle, it makes a compelling story.
Chemistry World August 9, 2012 Emma Shiells	3D-printed miniaturised fluidic devices UK scientists have developed 3D printing technology for making miniaturised fluidic reactionware devices that can be used for chemical syntheses, in just a few hours.
Chemistry World August 3, 2012 Andrew Extance	Gel polymer seizes shadow With just a slight dip in a tungsten filament bulb's intensity, Canadian researchers have created channels that light can't enter.
Chemistry World August 2, 2012 Yuandi Li	Cleaning hands with light A quick way to kill methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus and other pathogens using a photosensitiser and visible light can be used to clean hands, say scientists in Germany.
Chemistry World July 31, 2012 Tamsin Phillips	Light power for nanobiodevices Scientists in China have created a laser-driven photovoltaic cell that can produce electrical power for nanobiodevices implanted beneath the skin.
Chemistry World July 30, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Flexible hairy heartbeat sensor Korean scientists have developed a skin-like flexible strain sensor made from interlocking forests of nanofibers.
Chemistry World July 30, 2012 Pascal Salaun	Electrochemical measurements Any book like Understanding voltammetry: problems and solutions, dedicated to voltammetry and written by Compton and his colleagues is worth a look and this one is no exception.
Chemistry World July 26, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Remote controlled omniphobic surface Chemists in the US have developed a material that normally resists wetting by both aqueous and organic liquids, but can have this property 'switched off' using a magnet, allowing liquids to soak the surface.
