Chemistry World August 13, 2012 Laura Howes	Printing stained glass Bright colors and fine tonal variations have been achieved without a dye or paint in sight. Joel Wang's group at A*STAR in Singapore used nanopillars to print an image at 100,000 dots per inch.
Chemistry World August 13, 2012 Hayley Birch	Graphene reactions driven by substrate not reactant In chemical reactions, the reactants determine the level of reactivity. Not for graphene though -- the one-atom-thick sheets of carbon can react vigorously or barely at all to the same chemicals, depending on the substrate they're sitting on.
Chemistry World August 10, 2012 Nina Notman	Tweaked weighing scales help map the island of stability The mass of the heavy element lawrencium has been measured directly for the first time by German scientists.
Chemistry World August 10, 2012 Elinor Hughes	Long life rice Zhen-Yu Chen and colleagues from The Chinese University of Hong Kong fed antioxidants in black rice extract to fruit flies and observed that the flies lived longer than they normally would. Their mean lifespan increased from 44 days to 50 days.
Chemistry World August 9, 2012 Jon Cartwright	'Genetic code' guides nanoparticle growth Researchers in the US and China have demonstrated that DNA can also be used as a blueprint for the creation of non-biological structures. Their 'genetic code' could pave the way for tailored nanoparticles -- fit for use as catalysts, or in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
Chemistry World August 9, 2012 Laura Howes	Recovering chemical weapons Today, as governments finish destroying their chemical weapons, the US is looking back at the stockpiles it disposed of in the early to mid twentieth century.
Chemistry World August 9, 2012 Emma Shiells	3D-printed miniaturised fluidic devices UK scientists have developed 3D printing technology for making miniaturised fluidic reactionware devices that can be used for chemical syntheses, in just a few hours.
Chemistry World August 9, 2012 Derry Jones	Day by Day On the Cucumber Tree, by Peter Day, is an illustrated memoir by an Oxford inorganic chemist who directed institutions in Grenoble, France and London and worked with institutes in Europe and the US.
Chemistry World August 8, 2012 Laura Howes	Solar Cell Meets Sunflower Inspired by nature, a group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed a nanocomposite that twists and moves in direct response to the sun's light and warmth and used that to make a device that significantly increases the output of solar cells.
Chemistry World August 8, 2012 James Urquhart	Liquid Gallium Lights Up US researchers have developed a nanomoulding technique for patterning liquid gallium that enables surface plasmons to become excited using visible light.
