Chemistry World July 31, 2015 Rebecca Trager	Stone 'blueprinting' to tackle heritage thefts A combined laser and chemical 'blueprinting' technique could help crackdown on the growing problem of stone theft from heritage sites.
Chemistry World July 30, 2015 Ida Emilie Steinmark	Kirigami graphene makes microscale devices Graphene can be used to create kirigami springs that maintain their conductivity when stretched.
Chemistry World July 28, 2015 Laura Fisher	Battery buffer takes the strain Researchers in China and the US have developed a layered oxide that shrinks when ions are intercalated into it, with the hope of buffering the volume expansion seen in common electrode materials.
Chemistry World July 28, 2015 Matthew Gunther	US government uncovers safety failings at nuclear lab Safety failings at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have been described as 'unsatisfactory' by the US government.
Chemistry World July 27, 2015 Anisha Ratan	Boroles get a stability boost Scientists from Germany have reported a breakthrough in borole stability, using bulky fluoromesityl groups, which could help these anti-aromatic molecules realize their potential in optoelectronic devices.
Chemistry World July 24, 2015 Andrea Sella	Wilson's cloud chamber Charles Wilson was a Scottish physicist and meteorologist (1869 -- 1959). He invented a particle detector based on an apparatus for generating clouds.
Chemistry World July 23, 2015 David Bradley	Super-elastic wire stretches without losing power A conducting wire that can be stretched to 14 times its original length has been developed by scientists at the University of Texas at Dallas, US.
Chemistry World July 23, 2015 Richard Massey	Photoredox catalysis mechanisms seen in new light A debate over whether photoredox-catalyzed reactions proceed via chain processes may now be settled, thanks to new mechanistic insight brought to light by scientists in the US.
Chemistry World July 21, 2015 Tim Wogan	Nanoparticle cats drawn at the flick of a switch A new way of using light to reversibly assemble nanoparticles has been developed by scientists in Israel.
Chemistry World July 20, 2015 Carolyn Devlin	Energy devices go wireless Scientists in China have developed a new method for connecting energy devices without using wires. Not only are the devices easy to make, they continue to work even when bent or twisted -- a vital trait for flexible electronics.
