Chemistry World June 14, 2010 Sarah Houlton	EU ministers call for nanomaterial ban They have called for nanosilver and long multiwalled carbon nanotubes to be banned in electrical and electronic products.
Chemistry World June 13, 2010 Lewis Brindley	Novel 'cell wires' to patch up heart or nerve damage Noodle-like strings containing living cells have been made by researchers in the US.
Chemistry World June 10, 2010 Carol Stainer	Hot tip makes light work of graphene circuit US researchers have 'drawn' tiny conductive lines on an insulating graphene oxide surface using the heated tip of an atomic force microscope that changes the local chemistry of the surface.
Chemistry World June 10, 2010 Phillip Broadwith	A green and salty chiral catalyst An efficient, chiral, salt-based hypervalent iodine catalyst has been discovered by Japanese chemists that could replace toxic metal catalysts without generating the waste or explosion risks associated with hypervalent organo-iodine complexes.
Chemistry World June 10, 2010 Simon Hadlington	Elusive intermediate snared Chemists in Germany have succeeded in trapping an elusive intermediate involved in a key synthetic reaction catalysed by an organic molecule.
Chemistry World June 9, 2010 Jon Cartwright	Laser tracks electrons in molecules The breakthrough suggests that attosecond lasers will soon enable scientists to address problems in chemistry and biology, which until now were too complex for attosecond science.
Chemistry World June 9, 2010	Chemistry at Sussex under threat again The department, which topped The Guardian's 2010 university league table for chemistry, is set to lose some 40 per cent of its faculty, according to Phil Parsons, head of organic chemistry at Sussex.
Chemistry World June 6, 2010 Philip Ball	Blood-like liquid protein formed A liquid form of the oxygen-binding protein myoglobin retains its biological function even though it seems virtually water-free, researchers have found.
Chemistry World June 4, 2010 Manisha Lalloo	Antibacterial nanoparticles from bacteria Scientists have found that silver nanoparticles made using bacteria have better antibacterial properties than their chemically synthesised counterparts.
Chemistry World June 3, 2010 Manisha Lalloo	Cracking yolk-shell nanoparticles Scientists in Australia have found a new way to synthesise 'yolk-shell' nanoparticles with tunable shell thickness and pore size. The particles could have applications as nanoreactors and in drug delivery.
