Chemistry World December 17, 2013 Emma Stoye	Noble gas molecules detected in space Molecules containing a noble gas have been detected in space for the first time by astronomers in the UK.
Chemistry World November 20, 2013 Emma Stoye	NASA probe sets off for Mars NASA's latest Mars mission -- the Maven (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) orbiter -- has begun its 10-month journey to the red planet after its successful launch this week from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, US.
Chemistry World October 4, 2013 Andrea Sella	Michelson's interferometer Today, Michelson's legacy is everywhere: miniature descendants of his apparatus sit in our infrared spectrometers, interference fringes betray the secrets of excited atoms, and continent-sized interferometers scan the universe.
Chemistry World July 1, 2013 Laura Howes	Quantum tunnelling in space Interstellar dust clouds might be host to more chemistry than previously imagined.
Chemistry World May 28, 2013	Extreme extraction Imagine how extreme it would be to mine at the bottom of the ocean or on asteroids in the depths of space. That is exactly what a few pioneering companies are planning to do.
Chemistry World April 4, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Titanium oxides in stellar clouds finally pinned down After decades of searching, astronomers at last appear to have found two key components of the dust that forms around stars -- the oxide and dioxide of titanium.
IEEE Spectrum April 2013 Jean Kumagai	Protecting the Power Grid From Solar Storms New spacecraft will aid forecasts of space weather.
Chemistry World March 21, 2013 Neil Withers	Harry Kroto: From light years to nanometers -- and back My emphasis in the Pittcon plenary lecture is that the discovery of C 60 started off from an interest in massive clouds of gas in interstellar space. You go from these huge objects into the nanoscale world and back again out into space.
Chemistry World March 18, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Dried lake bed on Mars 'could have supported life' New chemical analysis by the Mars rover Curiosity suggests that Mars was once more hospitable to life.
Chemistry World March 14, 2013 Jon Cartwright	Exoplanet spectrum hints at 'core accretion' Scientists in the US and Canada have uncovered what could be the most detailed spectrum of an exoplanet to date. The spectrum reveals the presence of carbon monoxide and water, which suggest that the planet formed by core accretion.
