Chemistry World November 12, 2013 Michael Parkin	Patterning graphene onto complex surfaces Graphene could find use in next-generation flexible electronic devices thanks to scientists in Taiwan and the US who have developed a low cost and scalable method to pattern graphene onto 3D surfaces.
Chemistry World November 12, 2013 Margaret West	X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and related techniques: an introduction This book by Margui and Van Grieken is a tutorial providing an up to date description of the fundamentals of x-ray fluorescence techniques including an overview of instrumentation, sample preparation procedures and applications.
Chemistry World November 8, 2013 Rowan Frame	Big data approach to solar cells After 150 million theoretical calculations, scientists at Harvard University in the US reveal results that could cut down the time and cost of experimental tests to find better organic electronic materials for solar cells.
Chemistry World November 8, 2013 Michael Gross	Speeding up the experiment to fit the simulation In 1997, several groups used atomic force microscopy or laser tweezers to pull single molecules or fragments of titin until some of its domains (structural units) came apart.
Chemistry World November 6, 2013 James Urquhart	Jingle cells are rocking on sunshine UK researchers have shown how solar cell efficiency can be boosted by up to 50% by harnessing acoustic vibrations in the environment, including those caused by roof-top machinery, traffic and even pop music.
Chemistry World November 5, 2013 Jason Woolford	Hole hopping in solar cells Researchers in the UK, Spain and Switzerland say a method they have developed for probing electron transfer reactions could help them design more efficient solar cells.
Chemistry World November 5, 2013	A close look at microscopy Atomic force microscopy is widely used in materials science and is beginning to be adopted in life science too.
Chemistry World November 4, 2013 Jennifer Newton	Moving the goalposts for MRI A new class of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) contrast agents developed by scientists in the UK is promising to deliver clearer images in less time.
Chemistry World November 4, 2013 Andrea Sella	Lichtenberg's figures Georg Lichtenberg (1742 -- 1799) was a German physicist and satirist. He invented the basis of electrostatic printing and discovered the fractal patterns produced by electricity passing through an insulator
Chemistry World October 31, 2013 Jeanne Therese Andres	Light harvesting with many man-made leaves Scientists from Japan have harvested solar energy using an exceptionally large number of light absorbers to relay photons via antennas into one final energy acceptor.
