Chemistry World June 26, 2012 Charlie Quigg	For clean water, just add sunlight Researchers from Japan have developed a photocatalytic reactor for a water purifier that does not require batteries.
Chemistry World June 21, 2012 Holly Sheahan	Smart windows store sun's energy Scientists in China have developed a smart window that not only heats and cools a building, but can also act as an energy storage device to power electrical equipment within the building.
Chemistry World June 21, 2012 Simon Hadlington	'Atomic traffic jam' sheds light on phase changes The prospect of a new generation of electronic computer memory devices based on metallic alloys that can switch between crystalline and amorphous phases has moved a step closer with two new pieces of research.
Chemistry World June 17, 2012 Harriet Brewerton	Back to carbon black Scientists in Singapore have discovered the potential of a readily available material that could be used to replace expensive graphene analogues in a wide range of electrochemical processes.
Chemistry World June 14, 2012 Russell Johnson	Surfactant driven propulsion A small autonomous boat powered by a volatile surfactant has been developed by scientists in Finland and Israel. The surfactant modifies the surface tension of the liquid it floats on to create a surface tension gradient that propels the boat forward.
Chemistry World May 2, 2012 Derry Jones	A Charismatic Genius Pierre-Gilles de Gennes: A Life in Science by Laurence Plevert, describes the scientist who won a Nobel Prize for theoretical physics, but he also made advances in physical chemistry.
Chemistry World June 12, 2012 Erica Mills	Lighting the way to explosive detection A mesoporous material functionalized with aggregation-induced emission luminogens serves as an efficient and recyclable fluorescent sensor to detect picric acid in water.
Chemistry World June 10, 2012 Jon Cartwright	Electrode dip to freshen up saltwater Producing freshwater from brackish water could be cheaper and easier than previously thought, according to researchers who have developed a new technique for desalination.
Chemistry World June 7, 2012	UK nuclear fuel site faces 2018 closure The Thermal Oxide Reprocessing Plant at Sellafield in the UK will close in 2018, according to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
Chemistry World June 7, 2012 Yuandi Li	'Litmus paper' for food spoilage Scientists in the US have developed a cheap fluorescent sensor for food spoilage that could be as easy to use as litmus paper.
