Chemistry World August 13, 2014 Stephen McCarthy	Wind-powered lighting is almost a breeze Scientists in South Korea have created a material that emits bright white light when a stream of nitrogen is blown over it. The discovery paves the way for eco-friendly displays and lighting systems.
Chemistry World August 13, 2014 Andy Extance	Photon pinball identifies chemicals from afar US scientists have pushed the range at which chemicals can be remotely identified beyond a kilometer by turning the samples themselves into lasers.
Chemistry World August 8, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Graphene springs into action Researchers in China are hoping to expand the unconventional applications of graphene with their introduction of graphene springs that can function as actuators.
Chemistry World August 7, 2014 Andy Extance	Low-emission ammonia offers food and climate solution Chemists in the US have discovered a low cost way to make ammonia that could help feed the world's growing population without contributing to global warming.
Chemistry World August 7, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Yongmei Zheng: Spider silk and butterfly wings Research in the Zheng group looks at biological and bioinspired surfaces with wettability functions.
Chemistry World August 1, 2014 Megan Tyler	Strep throat spotted in seconds Scientists have developed a non-invasive mass spectrometry-based diagnostic technique that can diagnose strep throat in less than 10 seconds.
Chemistry World July 31, 2014 Helen Bache	Tracking complex reactions in space and time Scientists in Taiwan have put together a system that uses a computer screen and digital camera to obtain spatial, temporal and spectral information on reaction samples, for a low cost.
Chemistry World July 31, 2014 Benjamin Horrocks	Physical chemistry: a very short introduction It's a challenge to write a short, popular account of physical chemistry that is comprehensible and engaging. Peter Atkins is well placed to attempt the task.
Chemistry World July 29, 2014 Vicki Marshall	Spray-deposition steers perovskite solar cells towards commercialization A low-cost, high-efficiency technique for fabricating perovskite solar cells -- ultra-sonic spray-coating -- has been developed by a team of researchers in the UK.
Chemistry World July 29, 2014 Derek Lowe	The crystal ball that can tell lies X-ray crystallography has long had a sort of halo around it as the 'ground truth' of molecular structure, so many chemists are surprised to learn how rife with error it can be.
