Heavy metal lighting catches the eye of The Alchemist this week along with the work of a cubist "decorator." In solar energy conversion a new composite could absorb photons to split water and make hydrogen in an entirely new way breaking 70 years of tradition. We also hear about geochemical clues to the existence of a lost continent buried beneath the Indian Ocean. Also, in view is the chilly world of high-temperature superconductors. Finally, NSFW, a new National Science Foundation (NSF) award for chemical Work.
