Chemistry World August 19, 2009 Hayley Birch	Gold nanoparticles detect cancer Chinese scientists have used gold nanoparticles as ultrasensitive fluorescent probes to detect cancer biomarkers in human blood.
Chemistry World August 18, 2009 Jon Cartwright	Ozone reaction with skin causes irritants Armin Wisthaler of the Leopold-Franzens University of Innsbruck, Austria, and Charles Weschler of Rutgers University in New Jersey, US, have performed a study of ozone with human occupants in an office environment.
Chemistry World August 17, 2009 Lewis Brindley	DNA shapes up for nanoelectronic devices Researchers have taken a step towards the next generation of high-speed computer chips by controlling how triangle-shaped pieces of DNA mount themselves on a surface.
Chemistry World August 17, 2009 James Urquhart	New method for fluorinating compounds Fluorine atoms are incorporated into aromatic organic compounds for many reasons, including their ability to increase metabolic stability, solubility and bioavailability.
Chemistry World August 16, 2009 Tom Bond	Catalyst free carbon-carbon bond formation The method offers an environmentally friendly way to form one of the most important bonds in organic synthesis.
Chemistry World August 16, 2009 Hayley Birch	Nanotubes promise ultra-small wearable oxygen sensors US researchers have created tiny oxygen-sensing devices made from carbon nanotubes.
Chemistry World August 14, 2009 Jon Cartwright	Nanomotors detect trace silver Researchers in the US and Germany have found that the speed of synthetic 'nanomotors' responds to nearby concentrations of silver.
Chemistry World August 13, 2009 Lewis Brindley	Picky MOF crystals show promise For the first time, researchers have modified metal-organic frameworks to selectively capture large organic molecules.
Chemistry World August 13, 2009 Helen Carmichael	US officials probe hydrogen fluoride incidents A sudden release of propane and highly toxic hydrogen fluoride gas from an ExxonMobil refinery in Joliet, Illinois led to two employees being rushed to hospital last week.
Chemistry World August 13, 2009 Simon Hadlington	Forcing enzyme activity New research has shown that physically stretching an enzyme can trigger its activity - even when the active site is not hidden in a 'cryptic' position. Mechanical force may play a more important role in biological molecular systems than previously realized.
