Chemistry World May 14, 2012 Josh Howgego	Powering up retinal prosthetics Scientists are reporting a futuristic design for retinal prostheses, which, in principle, would dramatically simplify the surgical procedure required to return sight to the blind.
Chemistry World May 10, 2012 Holly Sheahan	Forensic electrochemistry to detect firearms use A group led by Joe Wang at the University of California-San Diego, USA has developed a new forensic technique that can detect gunshot residue at the scene of the crime.
Chemistry World May 9, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Disposable paper electronic touch pads on their way Researchers in the US and France have developed a paper-based electronic touch pad, opening the way for low cost, throwaway touch pads to be incorporated into anything from food packaging to disposable or sterile medical devices.
Chemistry World May 1, 2012 David Bradley	A colorful way to size up nanoparticles Researchers in China have now developed a straightforward light-scattering technique to estimate the size of gold nanoparticles in the 35 to 110nm range.
IEEE Spectrum May 2012 Rachel Courtland	The Kilogram, Reinvented Two difficult experiments are poised to remake one of the world's most fundamental units
IEEE Spectrum May 2012 Alexander Hellemans	A New Twist on Radio Waves Using the angular momentum of light could make one radio channel into two, three, or more. But many wireless experts are skeptical
IEEE Spectrum May 2012 Samuel K. Moore	Landauer Limit Demonstrated Scientists show that a 50-year-old principle limiting future CMOS computing is real: Erasing information gives off heat
IEEE Spectrum May 2012 Lucas Laursen	Snails in a Race for Biological Energy Harvesting Tinkering could tailor snails to spy for us
Chemistry World April 24, 2012 Rebecca Brodie	Two in one technique for biological imaging A UK based team has combined two methods into a new technique to investigate cell-substrate interactions in biomedical research.
Chemistry World April 19, 2012 Charlie Quigg	An invisible menace for solar cells US chemists have shown that trace impurities - below the sensitivity of standard characterization techniques - can halve the efficiency of bulk heterojunction solar cells.
Chemistry World April 5, 2012	From ink wells to solar cells Until now, none of the materials investigated has managed to achieve the light weight, low-cost and biodegradable properties that are attractive in manufacturing flexible electronics.
Chemistry World April 5, 2012 Heather Montgomery	Shining a light on fingerprint detection Scientists in China have discovered a method for visualizing latent fingerprints found at the scene of a crime, which they say is very simple, rapid, does not require professional forensic treatment and does not destroy the print.
Chemistry World April 4, 2012 Jon Evans	Novel mass sensor is off the scale Spanish scientists have produced the world's most sensitive set of scales that should be capable of weighing a single proton.
Chemistry World April 3, 2012 Steve Down	Tuning into a radio solution to money forgers Scientists in Saudi Arabia have fitted radiofrequency identification tags to banknotes to prevent counterfeiting.
Chemistry World April 3, 2012 Helen Gray	Mass spectrometry imaging: the new tool in counterfeit security The ever-increasing sophistication of the counterfeit trade is a growing economic problem, and when applied to pharmaceuticals, dangerous to human health.
HHMI Bulletin February 2012 Sarah C. P. Williams	Force Factor In the context of cells, forces are required to move molecules. Quantifying these forces gives scientists a way to compare and contrast different molecular motors.
