Chemistry World November 23, 2010 Simon Hadlington	Novel green separation system Researchers in Canada have stumbled across a new chromatographic separation method that could make an inexpensive and green contribution to the analytical chemist's toolbox.
Chemistry World November 19, 2010 Philippa Ross	Rise of the micro machines Microjet engines called microbots that can transport cells within a fluid to any desired location have been developed by German scientists.
Chemistry World November 19, 2010 David Barden	The medicine's in the (wine) bottle Some red wines contain such high levels of polyphenols that a single glass has equivalent bioactivity to several daily doses of an anti-diabetes drug, say Austrian scientists.
Chemistry World November 18, 2010 Hayley Birch	'Hunger hormone' activating enzyme holds promise as obesity target Blocking a key gut enzyme involved in the hunger response can reduce weight gain in mice, say US and Taiwanese researchers. The approach could eventually lead to treatments for obesity in humans that would work by damping down hunger pangs.
Chemistry World November 18, 2010 Akshat Rathi	Cellulose used to make smart window materials Using nanocrystalline cellulose from wood pulp, Canadian researchers have for the first time prepared mesoporous chiral nematic structured silica materials that may have potential as tuneable reflective filters in smart windows
Chemistry World November 17, 2010 Jon Cartwright	DNA origami meets low-cost lithography Chemists in the US have developed an easy way to integrate the 'bottom up' assembly of DNA origami with the 'top down' patterning of low cost lithography.
Chemistry World November 16, 2010 Philip Ball	Water takes forbidden form Researchers say that when water is confined between two flat plates just 8.5 Angstroms apart - room enough for just two molecular layers - it can adopt a quasicrystalline state which appears to have a 'forbidden' twelve-fold symmetry.
Chemistry World November 15, 2010 Manisha Lalloo	pH prompts protein structure US researchers studying the naturally-occurring amyloid protein Pmel17 have discovered that pH plays an important role in its structure, helping the body control its aggregation.
Chemistry World November 14, 2010 Laura Howes	Using Host-Guest Chemistry as Molecular Velcro Molecular recognition, a microscopic process, has been used by Japanese researchers to assemble gels into macroscopic structures. The result is like molecular velcro, the molecules catch each other and hold the gel cubes together.
Chemistry World November 12, 2010 Akshat Rathi	How green is your detergent? Fragranced household products, even those labelled as 'green', can emit large numbers of hazardous chemicals that aren't listed on their labels, US researchers have confirmed.
