Chemistry World October 3, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Nanoscale microphone based on a single molecule Researchers in the Netherlands have created the world's tiniest microphone, in which the acoustic detector is a single molecule.
Chemistry World October 3, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Assessing covalency in the hydrogen bond zoo Worried that the concept of hydrogen bonding has been getting fuzzier over time, scientists in Germany have sought a fresh look at the very nature of these bonds, and how much covalency they involve.
Chemistry World October 2, 2014 Tim Wogan	Photosynthesis-free route to oxygen gives early Earth atmosphere clues A direct mechanism for producing oxygen from carbon dioxide using far ultraviolet radiation has been experimentally demonstrated by researchers in the US, confirming a 14-year-old theoretical prediction.
Chemistry World October 2, 2014 Susannah May	Oil reserves put under the microscope with new lab-on-a-rock Scientists in Canada have developed a new microfluidic model carved from rock, which can replicate the conditions found in underground oil reservoirs in a laboratory with more accuracy than ever before.
Chemistry World October 2, 2014 Rebecca Trager	EPA criticized over asbestos clean-up research The US Environmental Protection Agency's internal watchdog has found that the agency's costly and time-consuming experiments on alternative asbestos control methods lacked effective oversight and threatened human health.
Chemistry World October 1, 2014 Philip Ball	Probing molecules atom by atom A new technique that can 'see' individual spins of electrons and nuclei in single molecules could enable nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy atom by atom.
Chemistry World October 1, 2014 Katrina Kramer	Microfluidics for the masses US scientists have developed a series of microfluidic building blocks that allow researchers to construct devices by assembling the components like Lego.
Chemistry World October 1, 2014 Michael Gross	Viruses melt 'glassy' DNA US Researchers have identified the factors that enable viral DNA to turn from solid to liquid, which allows them to infect host cells. They say the process could become a target for new antiviral therapies.
Chemistry World October 1, 2014 William Bergius	Nitrogen dioxide and ozone: a sinister synergy Air pollution is detrimental to our health, but now scientists in Australia have revealed new mechanistic insight into how particular pollutants interact with the human respiratory tract.
Chemistry World October 1, 2014 Karl Collins	Twisting activity from amides When I think of asymmetric aldol reactions, what immediately springs to mind is using boron to control enolate geometry and chiral auxiliaries to impart facial selectivity in the addition step.
