Chemistry World July 22, 2009 James Urquhart	Signs of water on Enceladus The idea that liquid water exists below the surface of one of Saturn's moons has been given a boost thanks to researchers in the US and China who have detected ammonia, various organic compounds, and possibly argon.
Chemistry World July 20, 2009 Hayley Birch	Fuel cell catalysts go sub-nano Japanese researchers have created sub-nano scale platinum clusters with high catalytic activity for use in fuel cell applications.
Chemistry World July 20, 2009 Philip Ball	Researchers form first liquid protein Chemists at the University of Bristol, UK and their colleagues, in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Colloid and Interface Research in Golm, Germany, have figured out how to convert pure proteins into a liquid state, without any solvent.
Chemistry World July 17, 2009 Hayley Birch	No scars with healing nanosheet Biodegradable nanomaterials could prevent scarring after surgery according to Japanese researchers. They say their polyester-based nanosheets seamlessly seal up surgical incisions in mice
Chemistry World July 17, 2009 Andy Extance	Window opened on nanodot domain state formation British and German scientists claim they have directly observed how domain states form in nanometre-scale ferroelectric crystals for the first time.
Chemistry World July 16, 2009 Simon Hadlington	Strange vibrations Researchers in Taiwan have shown that in a relatively simple molecular system the induced vibrations can inhibit the breaking of the bond and slow the reaction down.
Chemistry World July 16, 2009 Jon Cartwright	Nanoparticles show 'inverse photoconductance' Chemists in the US have created the first material to exhibit 'inverse photoconductance', in which conductance decreases with exposure to visible light.
Chemistry World July 14, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Multicomponent reactions step up a gear Dutch chemists have taken multicomponent reactions to the next level, combining a total of eight different starting materials in a single flask, bringing together three different multicomponent reactions and making nine new bonds in a single step.
Chemistry World July 14, 2009 Simon Hadlington	Synthetic peptide 'cures' obesity US researchers have 'cured' obesity in mice by injecting them with a synthetic peptide that simultaneously mimics two naturally occurring hormones
Chemistry World July 13, 2009 Lewis Brindley	Getting a look at water wires Indian chemists have trapped tiny strands of water inside peptide nanotubes - allowing the researchers to take a direct look at how small amounts of water behave in a confined environment.
