IEEE Spectrum February 2010 Edward H. Sargent	Infrared Optoelectronics You Can Apply With a Brush Infrared quantum dots will lead to cheaper photovoltaic cells. When the fabrication of optoelectronic devices becomes almost as easy as splashing paint on a canvas, our assumptions about the high cost of high-performance optoelectronic devices will be turned on its head.
Chemistry World January 31, 2010 Simon Hadlington	Ketene comes in from the cold The ketene group, -C=C=O, is capable of rich and diverse chemistry, says Craig Hawker of the University of California, Santa Barbara
Chemistry World January 31, 2010 Kate McAlpine	Slack nano safety Many researchers working with nanomaterials use inadequate protection, if any at all, and most don't use special disposal methods for nanomaterials, claims a new study.
Chemistry World January 29, 2010 Rebecca Trager	UCLA faces possible criminal charges for chemistry lab death One year after a research assistant at the University of California, Los Angeles in the US died following an accident in the lab, the university awaits news on whether criminal charges will be filed.
Chemistry World January 29, 2010 Andy Extance	Polymer nanofibres smash energy record Nanogenerators that can scavenge energy from movement have come a step closer, after researchers in the US, Germany and China described the most efficient examples of such devices yet made.
Chemistry World January 29, 2010 Phillip Broadwith	Silicon goes aromatic Chemists in the UK have constructed a structural analogue of benzene made from silicon atoms. The molecule is not flat like benzene, but it reveals a new type of aromatic stabilisation.
Chemistry World January 28, 2010 Lewis Brindley	Better batteries with nano-cables Nano-sized cables made with titanium dioxide-coated carbon nanotubes could hold the key to developing new high-capacity batteries, report chemists in Germany and China.
Chemistry World January 27, 2010 Phillip Broadwith	Cracking carbon-carbon bonds Chemists in the US have discovered a tungsten complex that can break a strong carbon-carbon bond in an aromatic ring.
Chemistry World January 27, 2010 Simon Hadlington	Fruity route to control asymmetric syntheses Chemists in the UK have discovered a quick, cheap and easy way to make a key sulfide reagent that can mediate the formation of chirally selective molecules needed for complex organic syntheses.
Chemistry World January 25, 2010 Hayley Birch	Stabilising RNAs enhances gene silencing in tumours South Korean scientists have found a way to stabilise therapeutic RNA molecules, using chemical modifications, so that they can be more smoothly trafficked into cells.
