Chemistry World November 23, 2011 Helen Carmichael	Nanotechnology risks get minimal press coverage A US study has found scant media coverage of the potential risks posed by nanotechnology, with many more articles extolling its future benefits.
Chemistry World November 22, 2011 Steve Down	Growing super long fibres in seaweed jackets Scientists in Japan have made extremely long supramolecular fibres of a lipid-type compound by self-assembling it in microfluidic channels.
Chemistry World November 22, 2011 Anthony King	Nasa turns to the dark side with new material NASA scientists have embraced the dark side, creating the blackest material ever. It absorbs almost all light across multiple wavelengths and promises to open new frontiers in space technology.
Fast Company November 19, 2011 Rachel Z. Arndt	Virent Develops Plant-Based Crude Oil Alternative Mary Tilton oversees all of Virent's research, development, analysis, and production facilities, where the company uses chemistry to turn plants into fuel.
Chemistry World November 21, 2011 David Bradley	Zombie reaction returns from the dead An oscillating reaction that apparently stops after 10 hours, but is then resurrected spontaneously several hours later, has been discovered by a group of chemistry students at the Mito Dai-ni senior high school in Ibaraki, Japan.
Chemistry World November 17, 2011 James Urquhart	A Thermoset Plastic That Bends Like a Thermoplastic French scientists have created a new lightweight plastic that is as strong and stable as other thermoset materials such as Bakelite, yet can be easily reworked and reshaped when heated.
Chemistry World November 17, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Metallic Microlattice 'Lightest Structure Ever' Researchers in the US have broken the world record for the lightest structural material. The new nickel-phosphorus lattice is as light as a feather.
Chemistry World November 17, 2011 Tamsin Phillips	A Lab You Can Wear? Malaysian scientists have created a flexible and environmentally friendly microfluidic device using a cloth decorating technique for printing wax onto cotton.
Chemistry World November 17, 2011 Ross McLaren	Giving Fuel Cells a Vitamin Boost Vitamin B12 could replace platinum catalysts in fuel cells as a cheaper alternative.
Chemistry World November 16, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Unlocking the secrets of DNA's stiffness Computational chemists believe they have solved one of the puzzles about the stiffness of DNA: how much of the molecule's rigidity is due to electrostatic forces and how much to its physical structure.
