Chemistry World June 6, 2012 Catherine Pridmore	Challenging the consensus on nanotube electrochemistry UK scientists have shown that the sidewalls and closed ends of carbon nanotubes can support fast electron transfer, challenging the belief that they are electrochemically inert.
Chemistry World June 5, 2012 Simon Perks	Chiral separation with micro-flows How do you separate enantiomers without any kind of chiral recognition between molecules? The answer it seems is to use asymmetric flow in a micro-fluidic channel.
Chemistry World June 1, 2012 Emma Shiells	Electronic skin for health and security checks Scientists in the US have developed an electrochemical sensor incorporated into a temporary transfer tattoo to be used as a device to warn the wearer of any health or security threats.
IEEE Spectrum June 2012 Michael Brooks	Quantum Cash and the End of Counterfeiting Physicists say they can make money that can't be copied -- at least in theory
IEEE Spectrum June 2012 Mark Anderson	Smart Bullets The "Mini-Me" of smart-bomb technology is ready to leave the lab. A team of engineers at Sandia National Laboratories, in Albuquerque, is completing a testable prototype of the world's first laser-guided bullet.
Chemistry World May 31, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Dyeing for a place in the sun It is clear that dye-sensitized solar cells are beginning to find their feet alongside their silicon cousins. The next few years will be exciting for both academic and industrial players
Chemistry World June 1, 2012 Andy Extance	Raising a glass to champagne Gerard Liger-Belair found that no one had explored the physics of bubbles and foam in champagne and sparkling wine before. Now, 15 years later, his research has made him leader of the 'bubble team' in a laboratory of oenology -- or wine research.
Chemistry World May 28, 2012	Graphite super lube works at micron scale Scientists in China and Australia have used graphite to reduce the friction between two contact surfaces to an all time low.
Chemistry World April 11, 2012 Andy Benniston	Identifying unknowns As a person who has taught undergraduate students the basics of how to identify unknown organic compounds using spectra I looked forward to reading Interpretation of Organic Spectra by Yong-Cheng Ning.
Chemistry World May 23, 2012 Josh Howgego	Solar cell performs solidly A new breed of dye-sensitized solar cell has been created in which the traditional liquid electrolyte is replaced with an electron-hole conducting inorganic material.
