Chemistry World October 6, 2015 Philippa Matthews	Urine recycled into quantum dots Using urine to produce carbons dots is cheaper and greener than conventional synthesis.
Chemistry World October 6, 2015 Tim Wogan	Rolled-up electrodes record brain activity without scarring Ultra-flexible neural electrodes have been created that can more precisely measure brain activity without causing tissue scarring.
Chemistry World October 5, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Environmentally-friendly quantum dots make their mark Scientists have created an indium-based quantum dot as an environmentally-friendly alternative to the toxic cadmium nanocrystals currently used in commercial liquid crystal displays.
Chemistry World October 2, 2015 Andy Extance	Megasupramolecules promise to quell fuel explosions Adding megasupramolecules to jet fuel could save lives by preventing formation of fine fuel mist.
Chemistry World October 2, 2015 Paul Brack	Egyptian blue: more than just a color The blue pigment was first used by Egyptian artist 2600 BC. Today it has possible uses in security inks or for biomedical imaging.
Chemistry World October 1, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Excess protons play hopscotch in water Scientists in the US have observed how excess protons move through water.
Chemistry World September 29, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Carbon nanotube rectenna directly converts light into electricity Scientists in the US have for the first time made a solar energy collector using carbon nanotubes that can directly convert optical light in to a direct current.
Chemistry World September 29, 2015 Heather Powell	A little platinum goes a long way Researchers from Denmark and Finland have challenged the belief that platinum is too rare and expensive for industrial hydrogen production by calculating exactly how little platinum can sustain the process.
Chemistry World September 29, 2015 Jon Cartwright	Graphene band gap heralds new electronics Scientists in the US and France have produced graphene with a record high band gap of half an electronvolt (0.5 eV), which they claim is sufficient to produce useful graphene transistors.
Chemistry World September 28, 2015 Tim Wogan	Entangled wire confounds with unusual properties A material made from a single, entangled coiled wire actually gets bigger -- its volume increases -- when it's stretched or compressed, researchers in France have shown.
