Chemistry World April 8, 2009 Peter Mitchell	Polypill promises? Tablets containing a combination of several drugs, known as "polypills," hit the headlines recently after Indian research suggested they could be just as effective as taking each medication separately.
Chemistry World April 7, 2009 James Urquhart	Mass spec exposes seaweed defences The activity of 28 unique anti-fungal chemicals on the surface of a single species of seaweed has been deciphered for the first time with the help of high tech mass spectrometry imaging.
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.
Chemistry World April 6, 2009 Nina Notman	Torn catalysts help polymers heal themselves Catalysts that are activated by a mechanical force tearing them in two have been designed by Dutch scientists.
Chemistry World April 6, 2009 Hayley Birch	New dye design for solar cells A new type of dye could improve the lifespan of dye-sensitised solar cells - low-cost photovoltaic cells that can convert sunlight into electricity and thought to be some of the most promising for widespread use.
Chemistry World April 3, 2009 Nina Notman	Wibbly wobbly diagnostics for lung disease A device that uses a jelly-like substance to detect nitric oxide in exhaled breath - an indicator of lung diseases such as tuberculosis and lung cancer - is being developed by scientists in the US.
Chemistry World April 2, 2009 Michael Gross	Light-guided hydrogels direct cell growth Researchers in the US have developed a gel-like material whose structural and chemical properties can change in response to laser light
Chemistry World April 2, 2009 Ned Stafford	Fluorescent probes take screening to next level Researchers have developed a new high-throughput screening technique that could shed light on the biochemical activities of numerous proteins about which little is currently known.
Chemistry World April 1, 2009 Hayley Birch	Take carbon dioxide, dissolve slowly in water Carbon dioxide can be safely stored for millennia in deep, underground reservoirs, according to a new study by a team of international researchers.
Chemistry World April 2009	The biofuel future The chemistry to convert waste into fuels is now being tested at pilot plants around the world. We may have the science, but are governments and industry ready, asks Emma Davies
