Chemistry World October 21, 2015 Maria Burke	Chemists' anxiety mounts as spending review nears The UK government will publish its spending review, setting out funding commitments and priorities for the next five years. This review will include funding levels for scientific research and wider public investment in science and engineering.
Chemistry World October 21, 2015 Osman Mohamed	Bacteriophages generate electricity under pressure Scientists from South Korea have used bacterial viruses to turn pressure into electricity; a finding they hope could pave the way toward self-powered pacemakers and other implantable electronics.
Chemistry World October 21, 2015 David Bradley	Blackest material ever made sets new record Andrea Fratalocchi of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and colleagues suggest that their broadband light absorbing material could open up new approaches to energy-harvesting devices and optical interconnects.
Chemistry World October 21, 2015 Mark Peplow	The carbon capture challenge Attention is shifting toward carbon capture and utilization, which aims to use CO 2 as a feedstock to make fuels, chemicals and other useful products.
Chemistry World October 20, 2015 Emma Stoye	Ancient graphite may push start of life back by 300 million years Life on earth may have begun millions of years earlier than previously thought, claim researchers who have measured the carbon isotopes of graphite preserved in a 4.1 billion-year-old mineral.
Chemistry World October 20, 2015 Philip Ball	Nanotube desalination could be put back on track Computer simulations by researchers in China show what seems to be holding up this technology -- and suggest a way round the problem.
Chemistry World October 20, 2015 Richard Massey	Uncorking the chemical potential of wine waste Italian scientists have devised an innovative and economically feasible biorefinery that can squeeze more chemicals out of the mountains of grape waste produced during wine production.
Chemistry World October 19, 2015 Matthew Gunther	The house that DNA built The 2015 chemistry Nobel prize was awarded to Tomas Lindahl, Paul Modrich and Aziz Sancar for DNA repair.
Chemistry World October 16, 2015 James Urquhart	Microporous copper silicate sucks up carbon dioxide A carbon capturing microporous copper silicate material has been created that could offer a cheaper and simpler way of capturing carbon dioxide from the gas flues of fossil fuel power plants.
Chemistry World October 16, 2015 Emma Stephen	Pressure brings liquid marbles to a sticky end Scientists in Japan have developed an adhesive that starts out as powder but transforms into glue for hard-to-reach places when pressed. This represents a promising application for liquid marble technology.
