Chemistry World July 25, 2014 Emma Stoye	Magnetic nanocubes self-assemble into spirals Scientists have been coaxing nano-sized cubes of magnetite (Fe 3O 4) into larger, more complex structures like helices without using a template by exposing them to a magnetic field.
Technology Research News December 1, 2004	Smart Dust Gets Magnetic One of the main challenges in making labs-on-a-chip is finding ways to control and mix tiny amounts of liquids. Researchers are using minuscule silicon particles to carry out these tasks.
Reactive Reports Issue 67 David Bradley	Attractive Changing Colors Chemists have discovered that a simple magnet can be used to change the color of nanoparticles of iron oxide in aqueous suspension.
Chemistry World February 15, 2010 Andy Extance	Reversing attraction shrinks car batteries Transforming the most important attractive force acting between molecules into a repulsive one could enable US scientists to nearly halve the size of lithium-ion batteries.
Chemistry World November 12, 2008 Lewis Brindley	Microscope Reveals Catalyst Secrets A promising technique for watching catalysts in action could provide new insights into how they work, report scientists in the Netherlands.
Chemistry World November 15, 2011 Phillip Broadwith	Creating a toolbox for nanoparticle synthesis Hybrid nanoparticles made from several different materials that can be built up in a controlled and directed manner have been created by chemists in the US.
Chemistry World October 20, 2013 David Bradley	Will the sky fall as Dr says no to strong 'bond' Just how strong are non-covalent interactions that control supramolecular complexes and protein structure? Perhaps not as strong as chemists previously thought, according to UK chemists.
Chemistry World July 13, 2007 Tom Westgate	Colourful Colloids A simple mixture of iron oxide, a polymer and water can take on any color simply by applying a magnetic field.
Chemistry World June 25, 2013 Laura Howes	Van der Waals forces between atoms measured Lucas Beguin and co-workers at the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Palaiseau, France, however, have developed a new way of measuring these forces.
Chemistry World April 7, 2009 Lewis Brindley	Cells get in line Magnetic nanoparticles that 'shepherd' cells into neat lines have been designed by American scientists.
Reactive Reports September 2005 David Bradley	Nano Surprise A surprising mechanism by which polymers form nanocomposite particles could provide researchers with a new tool for controlling the growth of such materials.
Chemistry World September 14, 2011 Simon Hadlington	World's Longest Carbon-Carbon Bond Created Harnessing both attractive and repulsive forces enabled chemists to make a carbon-carbon bond 30 per cent long than normal.
Technology Research News July 13, 2005	Magnetics Drives Particle Patterns Researchers have devised a way to use electric and magnetic fields to assemble magnetic microparticles into a wide variety of patterns, including clusters, rings, chains and networks.
Reactive Reports Issue 75 David Bradley	Stuck On You The race to find a material as "sticky" as a gecko's foot could soon be over as stronger and more practical materials are reported by a team based at four US institutions.
Chemistry World August 2, 2013 Hayley Birch	Sound solution to nanoparticle handling problems Researchers are using ultrasound to bond nanoparticles -- essentially sticking together particles too small to be seen with sounds too high-pitched to be heard.
Chemistry World May 8, 2013 Cara E Sutton	Coming unstuck with DNA A DNA-based glue has been developed by scientists at the University of Illinois, US. The adhesive uses DNA base pair mimics that bind to each other more strongly than their natural counterparts and may lead to glues far more powerful than Super Glue.
Reactive Reports Issue 62	Take the Volcanic Fast-track to Nanotube Production Igneous rock from the Mount Etna volcanic eruptions could be used to mass produce carbon nanotubes, according to researchers.
Chemistry World September 27, 2012 Charlie Quigg	Cheaper component for greenhouse gas reduction catalyst Scientists from China have replaced the tungsten oxide in a widely used greenhouse gas reduction catalyst with iron oxide, which improves the selectivity and reduces the cost of the catalyst.
Chemistry World July 26, 2006 Victoria Gill	Reversible Glue `De-Bonds' at the Touch of a Button A new kind of superglue that uses nanoscale magnetic particles to bond and de-bond on command has been developed.
Technology Research News June 4, 2003	Study shows DNA will fill tubes Researchers from the Max Planck Institute in Germany have shown by computer simulation that it is possible to insert DNA into a carbon nanotube.
Chemistry World December 12, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Iron Oxide Succumbs to the Gentle Touch Chemists in Japan and France have produced a new iron oxide with a sheet-like structure that could be used in fuel cells and sensors.
Chemistry World May 2, 2013 Jennifer Newton	Updating the textbook on intermolecular interactions A researcher in Spain has analyzed over five million intermolecular distances to propose a consistent set of van der Waals radii for the most naturally occurring elements.
Chemistry World November 22, 2012 Jon Cartwright	Magnesium oxide might be liquid in super-Earths There may be more planets outside our solar system with protective magnetic fields than previously thought. That's the implication of a US study, which has demonstrated that the common planetary mineral magnesium oxide turns into a metallic liquid at high pressure.
