Chemistry World July 22, 2010 Mike Brown	Microspheres help restore eyesight Polymer microspheres could deliver stem cells to the eyes of patients whose sight has been destroyed by age-related macular degeneration to repair the damage and enable them to see clearly again, say researchers in the UK.
Chemistry World July 21, 2010 James Urquhart	Volatile elements locked in moon rock Samples of a mineral present on the Moon and on Earth have been found to contain almost the same concentrations of hydrogen, chlorine and sulfur, adding weight to questions over how the Moon formed and evolved.
Chemistry World July 21, 2010 Carol Stanier	Building up graphene nanoribbons By using small molecule precursors, scientists have found a way to precisely build up sought after graphene nanoribbons, and make them in different shapes.
Chemistry World July 21, 2010 Lewis Brindley	Selenium-based quinones show anticancer promise The new compounds have great potential for future cancer therapy, and early studies show similar activity to the well-known chemotherapy drug cisplatin, although a selenium-based therapy would cost a fraction of the price.
Chemistry World July 19, 2010 Phillip Broadwith	Designing porous patterns Belgian chemists are finally getting to grips with how to control the way molecules arrange themselves at the solid-liquid interface.
Chemistry World July 18, 2010 Manisha Lalloo	Nanoscale tRNA architecture US chemists have designed and built self-assembling 3D nanostructures using transfer RNA as a building block. They hope their structures could find uses in areas such as drug delivery.
Chemistry World July 15, 2010 Simon Hadlington	Synthetic enzyme catalyses Diels-Alder reaction The reaction is key to many organic syntheses and suggests that artificial enzymes could soon become part of the synthetic chemist's toolkit.
Chemistry World July 15, 2010 James Urquhart	Compound crucial in sea and air An international team of researchers has devised a technique to study how ocean-dwelling microbes respond to a compound that signals good foraging patches for fish and mammals, but also contributes to cloud-forming sulfur aerosols.
Chemistry World July 15, 2010 Matt Wilkinson	Biotechs plot path of least resistance Biopharmaceutical companies are moving into antibiotics, and filling the void left by big pharma.
Chemistry World July 13, 2010 Mike Brown	NMR: Nobel work if you can get it There are plenty of practicing chemists who are grateful for Richard Ernst's work to develop what the Nobel committee described as 'perhaps the most important instrumental measuring technique within chemistry.'
