Chemistry World November 18, 2015 Nelly Berg	A bright future for silicon solar cell recycling South Korean scientists have developed a sustainable process to reclaim silicon wafers from old solar panels and used the salvaged silicon to build new solar cells.
Chemistry World November 17, 2015 Emma Stoye	Magnetic 'compass' protein found in fruit flies The rod-shaped protein can align with a magnetic field, and forms a complex with light-sensitive cryptochrome proteins, which scientists have long suspected may be involved in magnetoreception.
Chemistry World November 16, 2015 Fiona Gillespie	Uncoiling collagen using advanced computers British and French researchers have used modern computing power to enhance mass spectrometry and analyze an extremely complex collagen molecule in a short time scale.
Chemistry World November 12, 2015 Tim Wogan	Flat boron first looks promising for nano-electronics The super hard material, which was formed by two-stage chemical vapor deposition, has unusual properties for a two-dimensional material that could potentially make it very useful in nano-electronics.
Chemistry World November 9, 2015 Philippa Matthews	A step forward for graphene walkers Scientists in China have developed a graphene-based paper which can fold itself into predesigned shapes when exposed to light or gentle heat.
Chemistry World November 4, 2015 Andy Extance	Trampolining droplets raise hopes for ice-shedding surfaces With fellow team members at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Tom Schutzius has worked out what was causing this previously-unknown 'trampolining'.
Chemistry World November 3, 2015 Matthew Gunther	IR spectroscopy stretches knowledge of hydrogen bonding Scientists in Denmark have, for the first time, detected a hydrogen bond between an N -- H and phosphorus in the gas phase.
Chemistry World October 30, 2015 Cesar Palmero	Microscopic pumps made from trapped bacteria Scientists in China have trapped bacteria in 3D-printed structures and used them to pump materials along customized paths.
Chemistry World October 29, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Thin film perovskite solar cell passes the efficiency test A team of scientists has manufactured the first thin film perovskite solar cell with a reported efficiency that has been officially recognized by an accredited national test laboratory.
Chemistry World October 29, 2015 Derry Jones	Half-life: the divided life of Bruno Pontecorvo, physicist or spy Half-life is a painstakingly researched account of the life of the nuclear scientist Bruno Pontecorvo, who, on holiday in Italy in 1950, disappeared with his family.
