Chemistry World June 30, 2015 Jessie-May Morgan	Space-like conditions give rise to metabolic precursors Mimicking interstellar conditions, a team of scientists at NASA has synthesized complex organic molecules thought to be necessary for the origin of life.
Chemistry World June 25, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Z machine puts the squeeze on metallic deuterium Scientists in the US and Germany have successfully transformed liquid deuterium into a metal at pressures rivaling those at the center of our own planet.
Chemistry World June 24, 2015 Victoria Richards	Confronting the crystalline sponge A research group in the US has successfully simplified a crystallographic technique that scientists had struggled to get to grips with.
Chemistry World June 23, 2015 Philip Ball	Ultra-bright x-rays film molecular reaction A team working at the Stanford Linear Collider in California claims to have made 'the first molecular movie' using ultra-fast x-ray scattering from molecules as they undergo a chemical reaction.
Chemistry World June 23, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Photo-catalysts shine light on chemical bond making A team of scientists from Israel and Germany have manipulated bond formation in a chemical reaction using high power lasers
Chemistry World June 23, 2015 Sam Ivell	Glass transition in ant traffic jams Inspired by the fluid-like motion of flocks of birds, researchers in the US have used techniques from soft matter physics to study the way that fire ants move.
Chemistry World June 22, 2015 Emma Stoye	Raman identifies South American sculpture pigments Researchers have used Raman spectroscopy to investigate dark pigments in a set of religious wooden sculptures from a 17th century site in Paraguay.
Chemistry World June 22, 2015 Debbie Houghton	Bread leavening proves useful for energy storage Just like bread, hierarchically porous carbons, are judged on their texture; so researchers in China have called on their baking know-how to cook up a sustainable method for producing these supercapacitor components.
Chemistry World June 18, 2015 Suzanne Howson	Nano-accordions stretch the boundaries for flexible electronics Scientists in the US have unveiled a conductive and transparent material that also stretches, thanks to its corrugated design.
Chemistry World June 15, 2015 Tim Wogan	Long range chirality transfer observed A new method to detect biomolecules by using a plasmonic nanoparticle to transfer their chirality onto an achiral dye has been developed by researchers
