IEEE Spectrum February 2013 Lucas Laursen	Plugging In to Plant Roots Marsh grasses can power small fuel cells. Cast-off electrons in a plant's roots can provide electricity, a Dutch team reports.
Chemistry World January 31, 2013 Phillip Broadwith	Funding council backs doctoral training centers with 350m pounds. The UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has announced that it will invest 350 million pounds in a second generation of Centers for Doctoral Training aligned towards priority areas of research.
Chemistry World January 30, 2013 Philip Robinson	NMR with a light touch Interactions between NMR-active nuclei in a sample and laser light could lead to a new, simpler form of NMR.
Chemistry World January 29, 2013 Laura Howes	Paper crane to carbon electrode Christina Giordano's lab at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Germany, has been working on making structured carbon electrodes from paper using inkjet printing.
HHMI Bulletin Winter 2013 Nicole Kresge	A Structural Revolution Over the years, scientists and artists have used an assortment of techniques to showcase molecular structure.
Chemistry World January 10, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Quantum timepiece ticks the right boxes In a remarkable feat of quantum horology, scientists in the US have created a clock that derives its timing mechanism from nothing more complicated than the mass of an atom. The new clock could prove to be a new way to make highly accurate measurements of atomic mass.
Chemistry World January 10, 2013 Holly Sheahan	Manipulating microswimmers US scientists have found a way to control the direction of microscopic swimming robots using lasers. This is the first time that anyone has used a method like this to control a microscale particle in solution, they say.
Chemistry World January 10, 2013 Laura Howes	Rotaxane mimics ribosome to spin out peptides The field of molecular machines has taken a new bio-inspired turn to assemble another molecule, in this case linking up individual amino acids into a peptide.
Chemistry World January 9, 2013 Andy Extance	Crystals aim to light up dark matter German scientists hunting dark matter are set to produce half a ton of high-purity calcium tungstate for their detectors, one 1kg crystal at a time.
Chemistry World January 7, 2013 James Urquhart	Kilogram ready to slim down for the new year UK scientists have developed a cleaning technique that could solve a long-standing puzzle in the field of metrology -- how to return the standard kilogram, against which all others are measured, to its original mass.
