Chemistry World July 29, 2013 Andy Extance	First polymer LED that stays lit up when stretched and scrunched Researchers in Europe and Japan say that they have produced the first polymer organic light-emitting diodes that can be stretched while lit.
Chemistry World July 29, 2013 James Urquhart	Synthetic antenna mimics plants' light harvesting abilities Researchers in the UK and France have developed a dye-based molecule that mimics the light harvesting complex found in plants.
Chemistry World July 26, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Acetone breathalyzer to help fight the flab The device measures levels of acetone on the breath, a by-product of fat metabolism.
Chemistry World July 25, 2013 Jeanne Therese Andres	Long-life lithium sulfide batteries Scientists from the US and China have identified a polymer that makes lithium sulfide batteries last longer.
Chemistry World July 24, 2013	Spectrometry for the masses A mass spectrometer ionizes chemical compounds to generate charged molecules or molecular fragments and allows the measurement of the molecular mass of a sample. Mass spectrometry continues to move forward, shaping new scientific fields in the process.
Chemistry World July 23, 2013 Michael Parkin	Forensic fingers A team in the US has developed a detection system that crime scene investigators can wear on their fingertips to rapidly identify suspected traces of explosives and gunshot residue.
Chemistry World July 22, 2013 Anthony King	Microwave quarrel heats up A brouhaha over microwave heating in organic reactions has escalated after the two research groups involved penned barbed correspondences aimed at each other's approaches in Angewandte Chemie.
Chemistry World July 22, 2013 Rowan Frame	Flexible supercapacitors for portable electronics Scientists from Germany have created a supercapacitor that is just 50 nanometers thick and less than 5 millimeters wide. The tiny supercapacitor has been successfully integrated into miniaturized, flexible electronic circuits.
Chemistry World July 22, 2013 Kirsty Muirhead	Circulating cancer cells spiral towards separation A new biochip developed by researchers in Singapore can isolate tumor cells from blood samples, and may one day be an alternative to more invasive methods for tracking later stage cancers.
Chemistry World July 19, 2013 Jennifer Newton	Mobile phone powered by urine The first mobile phone battery to be directly charged by microbial fuel cells feeding on neat urine has been reported by scientists in the UK.
