Chemistry World November 7, 2013 Polly Wilson	Hydrogen adopts alkali metal position For the first time, scientists have shown that hydrogen can stand in for alkali metals in typical alkali metal structures.
Chemistry World April 26, 2011 Manisha Lalloo	Pnicogens link up as new bond is discovered German researchers have discovered a chemical oddity - a new type of intramolecular interaction between group 15 atoms, which is as strong as a hydrogen bond. These interactions could be used to build supramolecular structures.
Technology Research News September 24, 2003	Artificial DNA stacks metal atoms In recent years, researchers have replaced some of DNA's natural bases with those that attach to metal atoms in order to coax DNA to organize metal ions into tiny structures. Researchers in Japan have tapped the method to form stacks of single metal ions.
Chemistry World March 3, 2010 Jon Cartwright	Hydrocarbon turns superconductor Researchers in Japan have created the first superconducting material based on a molecule of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Chemistry World September 7, 2006 Tom Westgate	Molecular Framework Sucks up Hydrogen Researchers have now developed a coordination framework material that is the best yet in terms of hydrogen storage. However, the materials currently require low temperatures to achieve the high loading of hydrogen.
Chemistry World April 2, 2012 Jon Cartwright	Hydrogen That Mimics Graphene Researchers claim to have discovered a new phase of hydrogen in which the diatomic molecules break apart to form six-atom rings, similar to graphene. The new phase, which occurs at very high pressures, could be a stepping stone towards a long-sought after phase: metallic hydrogen.
Chemistry World September 3, 2008 Lewis Brindley	Hydroxide argument settled Scientists in Germany say they have settled an argument over how hydroxide ions travel quite so quickly through water, after finding evidence that they can donate a weak hydrogen bond.
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 23, 2011 David Bradley	Ammonium Radical is Atomic Pretender In many ways the neutral radical ammonium acts like a pseudo-atom akin to sodium.
Technology Research News November 17, 2004	Low-Pressure Material Holds Hydrogen One key to using hydrogen as a fuel is finding practical ways to store it. Researchers have discovered a kinetic trapping effect that allows hydrogen to be adsorbed.
Chemistry World May 21, 2010 Simon Hadlington	H-bond partner-swapping seen in the flesh The dance moves that a water molecule makes as it flips hydrogen bonds from one partner to another have been captured by US researchers.
Chemistry World November 14, 2011 Jon Cartwright	Chemists claim metallic hydrogen creation first For over a century, scientists have said it should be possible to turn hydrogen into a metal. Now, a pair of chemists in Germany claim to have finally performed the feat, although others remain skeptical.
Chemistry World November 3, 2010 Andy Extance	Hydrogen bond set to be redefined The world authority on chemical nomenclature is preparing to scrap the familiar hydrogen bond definition, in light of recent evidence about its true nature.
Chemistry World January 19, 2007 Lionel Milgrom	Quantum Theory Reveals Why Lead Poisons Lead is one heavy metal. It can cause irreversible blood, brain, kidney, and liver damage. But why is it so toxic? Using quantum chemistry and enzyme model compounds, researchers now believe they have the answer.
Technology Research News January 15, 2003 Eric Smalley	Metal stores more hydrogen One reason the world isn't running on hydrogen fuel is that it's hard to store. Researchers from the National University of Singapore have made an accidental discovery that brings the promise of clean hydrogen energy a big step forward.
Chemistry World November 16, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Tantalizing Boost for Hydrogen Storage US chemists have announced the discovery of a new hydrogen-storage material, which they say stores large amounts of the gas at room temperature.
Chemistry World October 3, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Assessing covalency in the hydrogen bond zoo Worried that the concept of hydrogen bonding has been getting fuzzier over time, scientists in Germany have sought a fresh look at the very nature of these bonds, and how much covalency they involve.
Reactive Reports December 2006 David Bradley	Blood, Light, and Water Two molecules that occur naturally in blood have been engineered by scientists to use sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Chemistry World April 15, 2010 Simon Hadlington	Lead joins the aromatic ring club Scientists in Japan have successfully incorporated an atom of lead into an aromatic molecule - the heaviest metal so far to be 'aromatised'.
Technology Research News May 21, 2003 Eric Smalley	Hydrogen storage eased The discovery of metal-organic frameworks promises to remove the principal stumbling block to hydrogen-powered cars, and the method could be ready for production use within five years.
Technology Research News May 4, 2005	Nano Pyramids Boost Fuel Cells Researchers have devised a way to make iridium surfaces that are extremely finely textured. The surface is textured with pyramids which increases the available surface area of the metal. The increased surface area speeds the catalytic reaction that breaks down ammonia to extract hydrogen.
Chemistry World November 28, 2008 Manisha Lalloo	Elusive cation caught in a cage Chemists have isolated the elusive and highly reactive germanium dication by trapping it in a molecular cage.
Chemistry World December 4, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Hydrogen Gets Promiscuous Hydrogen is a more promiscuous element than chemists have appreciated: it can form up to six strong chemical bonds in some solids, researchers report.
Chemistry World May 28, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Purely inorganic aromatic ion synthesized Scientists in the US have successfully synthesized an aromatic ion made from only nitrogen and phosphorus. The anion is a rare example of a stable aromatic species containing no carbon atoms.
Chemistry World April 28, 2011 Simon Hadlington	New method for aromatic coupling Chemists in Switzerland have developed a way to couple aromatic rings through the Friedel-Crafts mechanism - something many people would have believed impossible.
Chemistry World January 28, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Water spilt with aluminium Aluminium clusters' ability to split water molecules and release hydrogen is dictated by the geometric arrangement of active sites on their surface, US scientists have discovered.
Chemistry World January 26, 2011 Mike Brown	Carbon nanotubes for hydrogen storage Researchers in Germany have designed a 3D carbon-based nanotube matrix that can store and release hydrogen extremely efficiently. The material could form the basis of a sustainable hydrogen economy, they say.
Geotimes June 2006 Stephen L.
