Chemistry World July 12, 2012 Elinor Hughes	At the cutting edge of naval research Jeffrey W Long is a research chemist at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, US
Chemistry World July 11, 2012 Rebecca Brodie	Better Security with Through-Barrier Detection Using SORS A team working in the UK have demonstrated that spatially offset Raman spectroscopy using short wave infrared can detect chemicals through physical barriers such as containers, which is a step forward in detection and security.
Chemistry World July 11, 2012 Neil Withers	Fluorine Finally Found in Nature Traces of elemental fluorine, F 2, have been found in calcium fluoride minerals by German chemists, who suggest that it's produced by uranium also found in the rock.
Chemistry World July 10, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Silky solution to storing vaccines and drugs Storing delicate vaccines and antibiotics in freeze-dried silk could eliminate the need for refrigerated storage, reducing transport costs and waste, say US researchers.
Chemistry World July 10, 2012	Coolant to put electric cars in the fast lane Battery temperature is critical for performance and safety, but it's a tricky business cooling the large batteries needed for electric vehicles. Now, scientists in Germany have developed a new coolant which promises to cool batteries on hot days.
Chemistry World July 10, 2012 Yuandi Li	Flattening nanotubes produces better graphene Graphene (single-layer graphite) has become a worldwide phenomenon and, with its incredible properties, is expected to have a huge impact in various fields. However, one of the biggest obstacles to its widespread industrial use is large scale production.
Chemistry World July 10, 2012 John Emsley	The Court Jester of Science Most of the book, The Aha! Moment: a Scientist's Take on Creativity, is an eclectic blend of David Jones the chemist and Daedalus the mad scientist and together they make entertaining reading.
Chemistry World July 9, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	'Molecular cobra' turns C-H to C=C A reagent developed by US chemists can selectively introduce synthetically useful C=C double bonds into unactivated carbon chains, guided by an activating group attached to a nearby oxygen or nitrogen atom.
Chemistry World July 9, 2012 Hayley Birch	The why of wine-in-a-box's odd taste Bag-in-box wine loses key flavor and aroma compounds to the plastic packaging it is stored in, according to a study by French researchers. But the authors have yet to show how the loss of these compounds affects the taste.
Chemistry World July 9, 2012 Jessica Cocker	Color changing paper sensor Paper with the ability to change color in response to different ions, solvents and UV irradiation has been developed by US scientists and could be used to develop faster and more stable chemical sensors.
