Chemistry World September 27, 2012 Andy Extance	Silicon sliver implants melt away A US-led team has made the first completely water-soluble silicon-based circuits and demonstrated simple medical implant devices that wouldn't need later removal.
Chemistry World September 27, 2012 Philip Ball	Blues standard The identification of a new inorganic blue pigment in 2009 looked promising for artists. Chemists at Oregon State University, US, found that manganese ions produce an intense blue colour, with the prized 'reddish' shade of ultramarine, when they occupy a trigonal bipyramidal site in metal oxides.
Chemistry World September 27, 2012 Bruce Alexander	Inorganic redox processes Inorganic Electrochemistry: Theory, Practice and Application by Zanello, de Biani, and Nervi succeeds in doing exactly what the authors intend; that is to provide a useful guide to researchers wishing to investigate redox processes of compounds containing transition metals.
Chemistry World September 26, 2012 James Urquhart	Graphene speaks volumes Graphene might be a suitable material, particularly owing to its high thermal conductivity, very low heat capacity and its ability to form free-standing membranes. Single and multiple layers of graphene can generate thermoacoustic sound on a range of substrates.
Chemistry World September 26, 2012 Derek Lowe	Under pressure Someone interviewing for a synthetic chemistry position had better know his or her organic chemistry. It's fair to ask questions that will make sure of that. But does a candidate need to know the curly-arrow details of reactions that they'll never run?
Chemistry World September 25, 2012 Andrew Turley	Measuring nano the European way If you want to regulate nanomaterials -- and lots of people do -- you first need to decide precisely what they are. Where does our world stop and the nano world begin?
Chemistry World September 25, 2012 Ian LeGuillou	Flattening the buckybowl The dome-like structure of corannulene has been flattened by adding an unprecedented 10 phenyl rings to its rim. Corannulene is essentially a slice off the top of a buckyball, with five six-membered aromatic rings fused together.
Chemistry World September 24, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Raised eyebrows greet graphite superconductivity claim Can graphite treated merely with water become a superconductor at room temperature? This is the extraordinary claim made by scientists in Germany.
Chemistry World September 24, 2012 Samantha Cheung	Tumors reprogram nylon synthesis Cancer mutations have inspired a redesign of an enzyme to catalyze a key step in the bio-based production of adipic acid, a precursor to nylon.
Chemistry World September 21, 2012 Rebecca Trager	US chemical society loses legal battle The American Chemical Society has been dealt a major blow in its effort to sue the Columbus, Ohio-based research software provider Leadscope for allegedly stealing its intellectual property.
