Chemistry World July 12, 2011 Laura Howes	Structural Transformations Put Under the Microscope Using just the heat from a tunnelling electron microscope, a group from California has induced a structural transformation in a copper sulfide nanorod and then used the microscope to watch the process as it happened.
National Defense August 2011 David Ake	Biosecurity Expert Fears a Nanoparticle Attack Microscopic bits of metal that float in the air in the aftermath of a terrorist attack could become a threat to national security, said an Italian pathologist.
Chemistry World July 8, 2011 Mike Brown	Pi-stacking better without the aromatics? Scientists in the US have discovered that electrons confined to their double bonds can sometimes deliver stronger pi-stacking interactions than those roaming free in aromatic systems.
Chemistry World July 8, 2011 Yuandi Li	Loudspeakers in your window Korean scientists have used graphene sheets to make a transparent and lightweight loudspeaker which, they say, can be attached to windows and computer screens.
Chemistry World July 7, 2011 Elinor Richards	Eight Steps to Foil Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria U.S. scientists have synthesised by a new route a key intermediate for the production of synthetic analogues of natural antibiotic tetracyclines that could be used as potential new drugs to combat the growing ranks of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Chemistry World July 6, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Speedy algal wound response revealed Scientists have uncovered a biochemical pathway that enables a remarkable marine alga to rapidly heal itself after it has been wounded.
Chemistry World July 5, 2011 Mike Brown	Metallic Pick and Mix with Complexes Scientists in Germany have plucked a metal ion from the middle of a phthalocyanine molecule on a silver surface. The simple method of removal, which employs a scanning tunnelling microscope, could be used to make cheaper molecular storage devices.
