Chemistry World May 23, 2013 Laura Howes	Filming phonons The latest work at University College London, UK. involved hitting the nanocrystals a laser pulse of infra red light to set the nanocrystal vibrating, before taking snapshots of the vibrations with femtosecond X-ray pulses.
Chemistry World May 22, 2013 James Urquhart	Digitally unrolling historical scrolls Historical parchment scrolls that have become too fragile to be unrolled could soon catch up with the digital age and be read again thanks to an X-ray imaging technique developed by UK researchers.
Chemistry World May 21, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Silver nanoparticles see the light Researchers have stumbled across a simple but as yet unexplained way to make silver nanoparticles luminescent. The finding is important because luminescence is often used to track the movement and location of nanoparticles -- within cells, for example.
Chemistry World May 21, 2013 Yuandi Li	Manipulating liquid metal marbles Researchers in Australia and Germany have made highly controllable actuators in the form of liquid metal marbles. The marbles have a nanoparticle coating that can be electrochemically manipulated to control their movement.
Chemistry World May 21, 2013 Nicholas Bryan	Nuclear and radiochemistry There are very few texts in print dealing with nuclear and radiochemistry, and so I was pleasantly surprised to see a new addition to the field by Konya and Nagy.
Chemistry World May 17, 2013 Jon Cartwright	3D printer churns out bionic ear Engineers in the US have created a bionic ear that can be manufactured using a 3D printer. The device is the first to use 3D printing to interweave electronics and biological tissue, and may pave the way for other bionic implants.
Chemistry World May 15, 2013 Emma Stoye	Desktop printed paper electronics A team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has found a way to print flexible circuits at room temperature. They used commercially available paper and equipment, with a few modifications.
Chemistry World May 13, 2013 David Bradley	Lab-on-a-chip rises to cola challenge The great taste of fluorescence has allowed researchers in Finland to develop a microfluidics device that can analyze complex unknowns in a liquid using microfluidics.
Chemistry World May 13, 2013 Harriet Brewerton	Early malaria diagnosis Now, Nicholas Smith and colleagues at Osaka University have shown that Raman spectroscopy can detect changes in heme and hemozoin in plasma samples to identify malarial infection.
Chemistry World May 9, 2013 James Urquhart	Greener, cleaner steel US researchers have developed a greener way to produce metals such as steel. Their process could cut greenhouse gas emissions while using earth abundant and affordable metals.
