Chemistry World August 12, 2009 Jon Cartwright	Exposing nano-objects' molecular make up Chemists in the US have developed a new technique to identify individual nano-objects via their molecular structure. The technique involves bombarding the nano-objects with single clusters of gold atoms.
Chemistry World August 11, 2009 Simon Hadlington	Urban materials trigger air pollution Independent teams of researchers in the UK and the US have shown that nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere can participate in chemical reactions on the surfaces of buildings, indoors and outdoors.
Chemistry World August 11, 2009 Jon Cartwrigh	Yushchenko poisoning study calls for dioxin tests Research into the non-fatal poisoning of Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko in 2004 has revealed the unexpected breakdown of the dioxin used to poison him, and prompted researchers to call for the development of new methods to spot the compound's metabolites.
Chemistry World August 10, 2009 Simon Hadlington	New catalyst for methane to methanol Chemists in Germany have invented a new solid catalyst for converting methane to methanol.
Chemistry World August 10, 2009 James Urquhart	Stretching for reversible enzyme activation A new kind of biologically inspired nanomaterial that can be chemically turned on and off by mechanical stretching has been devised by French researchers.
Chemistry World August 7, 2009 Lewis Brindley	Malaria disaster risk Two studies could spell disaster for malaria management, with the first evidence of a malarial strain resistant to a first-line drug, and signs that a widely used insect repellent could be neurotoxic.
Chemistry World August 7, 2009 Rebecca Trager	HP under fire for failing to phase out harmful chemicals Environmental lobby group Greenpeace is waging war against global technology company Hewlett-Packard (HP), arguing that it isn't doing enough to phase out harmful chemicals from the electronic products that it manufactures.
Chemistry World August 6, 2009 Simon Hadlington	Organic aerosol mystery solved Scientists believe they may have cracked an important conundrum in atmospheric chemistry: how a volatile molecule released by plants helps to form aerosols that can have a profound effect on weather and climate systems.
Chemistry World August 6, 2009 Hayley Birch	Nanoscale tools from DNA origami US scientists have demonstrated a nanoconstruction approach that allows the creation of self-assembling DNA 'origami' folded in an array of different shapes, from bent rods to toothed gears. This opens new possibilities for engineering nanoscale tools and devices.
Chemistry World August 5, 2009 James Urquhart	Martian methane breaks the rules Variations in methane concentration across Mars defy our current understanding of methane photochemistry, say French scientists.
