Chemistry World September 21, 2012 Michael Parkin	'Training' a memristive network Researchers in Italy and Germany have developed an organic memristive device that mimics the adaptive processes occurring in nervous systems such as the human brain.
Chemistry World September 20, 2012 Ian Le Guillou	Self-assembling, squeezy nanotubes made Researchers have developed dynamic nanotubes that open and shut depending on temperature.
Chemistry World September 20, 2012 Jon Evans	World's smallest ice cube created Ice crystals must contain at least 275 water molecules, say German chemists. This size limit has implications for any process that involves ice particles, from cloud formation to making the perfect gin and tonic.
Chemistry World September 20, 2012 Jessica Cocker	Biological fate of nanoparticles in the body Nanoparticles are extremely difficult to detect and measure once they are distributed in a biological system. Now, Spanish scientists have developed a novel way for measuring their biodistribution.
Chemistry World September 20, 2012 Hayley Birch	Lift off for nanoscale printing A new printing technique developed by US scientists allows them to transfer a pattern with nanoscale features from a stamp onto a surface, achieving surprisingly sharp results. The technique could help bring down the cost of high resolution lithography.
Chemistry World September 20, 2012 Christopher Castleton	Semiconductor doping Until now there has been a rather thin selection of graduate level primers focused on properties and characterization methods for semiconductor point defects. Dopants and Defects in Semiconductors by McCluskey and Haller fills it nicely.
Chemistry World September 19, 2012 Jon Cartwright	Thermoelectrics 'pass new milestone' Researchers in the US claim to have passed a new milestone in thermoelectrics with a material that converts heat to electricity more efficiently than ever before.
Chemistry World September 18, 2012 Andy Extance	UK university lab shut after student poisoning Police say that they are 'investigating all scenarios' after a University of Southampton PhD student was taken to hospital with highly toxic thallium and arsenic species in their body. Thallium salts have long been used in malicious poisonings thanks to their flavourless, colorless nature.
Chemistry World September 18, 2012 Laura Howes	Battery boost for electric cars The UK government, in collaboration with industry, is to create a new UK energy storage R&D center to accelerate the development of batteries for vehicles.
Chemistry World September 18, 2012 Harriet Brewerton	Colorful metal detection Scientists in China have developed a sensor that can indicate the presence of heavy metal ions in a sample with a simple color change by using aptamers. Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules.
