Chemistry World July 27, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Propeller-shaped molecules give 2D polymers lift-off Crystal engineers have finally succeeded in achieving a goal that has eluded chemists for decades by unambiguously synthesizing two-dimensional polymer crystals, confirmed by single-crystal x-ray diffraction.
Chemistry World July 24, 2014 Cally Haynes	Recycled fish bones offer five star sun protection An effective new sunscreen based on iron-doped hydroxyapatite-based materials derived from cod fish bones, a by-product of the food industry, has been developed by scientists in Portugal.
Chemistry World July 22, 2014 Charlie Quigg	Polymer changes color in the heat of the moment Scientists in China, the UK and the Netherlands have engineered a polydiacetylene polymer that reversibly changes color within 1 second of being heated or cooled.
Chemistry World July 22, 2014 Harriet Brewerton	Aaron Wheeler: Algae-on-a-chip Aaron Wheeler is the director of an interdisciplinary research group that develops lab-on-a-chip techniques for applications in biology, chemistry and medicine.
Chemistry World July 20, 2014 Jenifer Mizen	Coffee cup confusion Health-related headlines often cite coffee as either a caffeinated curse or cure-all. However, estimating health benefits using cups may be very difficult and inadvisable in epidemiological studies.
Chemistry World July 18, 2014 Melissae Fellet	Molecular computer calculates Ebola diagnosis A molecular computer could one day simplify analysis of biomedical assays like those used to diagnose Ebola, researchers say.
Chemistry World July 16, 2014 Jason Woolford	Close encounters of the fatty acid kind A new strategy for analyzing fatty acids could one day play a role in determining whether or not life exists on other worlds.
Chemistry World July 11, 2014 Manisha Lalloo	Plant material aligns to make tough aerogels Japanese scientists have used nanocellulose fibers extracted from plants to create a new type of aerogel that is not only transparent and thermally insulating, but also mechanically tough.
Information Today July 10, 2014	Europe PMC Gains New OA Research WHO (World Health Organization) announced an open access policy in January 2014 that now applies to all WHO research published in external books and journals.
Chemistry World July 9, 2014 James Urquhart	Nanosilver fears come out in the wash Colleagues at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology have shown that nanosilver fabrics actually leak far fewer nanoparticles when washed than previously thought.
