Chemistry World October 28, 2015 Philip Ball	Speaking of chemistry There were some inevitable names among the candidates for Chemistry World's 'quotable chemistry' competition, including that of Richard Feynman, a less predictable candidate.
Chemistry World October 22, 2015 Andy Extance	Crystals allow peek at picosecond DNA damage Right now, light is damaging DNA in your cells, but the chemistry that causes this damage remains murky.
Chemistry World October 21, 2015 Osman Mohamed	Bacteriophages generate electricity under pressure Scientists from South Korea have used bacterial viruses to turn pressure into electricity; a finding they hope could pave the way toward self-powered pacemakers and other implantable electronics.
Chemistry World October 21, 2015 David Bradley	Blackest material ever made sets new record Andrea Fratalocchi of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and colleagues suggest that their broadband light absorbing material could open up new approaches to energy-harvesting devices and optical interconnects.
Chemistry World October 16, 2015 Emma Stephen	Pressure brings liquid marbles to a sticky end Scientists in Japan have developed an adhesive that starts out as powder but transforms into glue for hard-to-reach places when pressed. This represents a promising application for liquid marble technology.
Chemistry World October 15, 2015 Aurora Walshe	Carbon dioxide sees the light Collaborators in Spain and Germany have built a microreactor that uses visible light to drive a reaction that turns carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide -- an important chemical building block.
Chemistry World October 14, 2015 Tim Wogan	Displacing precious metals in solar cells A new iron-based complex to sensitize large-bandgap semiconductors in dye-sensitized solar cells has been produced by researchers in Sweden.
Chemistry World October 13, 2015 Simon Hadlington	DNA movement through motor proteins measured Researchers have adapted a method for DNA sequencing to measure directly and with exquisite sensitivity the movement of a single molecule of DNA as it is drawn through specialized motor proteins.
Chemistry World October 12, 2015 Carla Pegoraro	Stencilling self-propulsion engines Researchers in the US have designed and made millimeter-sized motors in the shape of fish that could be produced on an enormous scale and used to purify water.
Chemistry World October 7, 2015 Christopher Barnard	Microfluidic device lets the drop beat Scientists in Switzerland have incorporated pulsing human heart tissue into a microfluidic device to make a model of a living system that could be used to test new drugs.
