Chemistry World December 20, 2010 Jennifer Newton	Frozen assets in biobanks Scientists from Sweden have devised a technique that extracts both DNA and RNA from frozen tissue in a bid to improve large-scale extractions from samples stored in biobanks, which could aid cancer research.
Chemistry World December 20, 2010 Hayley Birch	Atomic weights change to reflect natural variations The atomic weights for ten elements are to be expressed as intervals rather than single values, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has announced.
Chemistry World December 19, 2010 Simon Hadlington	Novel route to key aromatics US chemists have found a new way to create aromatic compounds from straight chains of hydrocarbons by using an iridium-based catalyst.
Chemistry World December 17, 2010	Lights, camera, action An interview with chemist Martyn Poliakoff, who is research professor of chemistry at the University of Nottingham in the UK. His main research interest is the application of supercritical fluids with a focus on green and sustainable chemistry. He is one of the
Chemistry World December 17, 2010 James Mitchell Crow	Drug delivery: from needles to nanorods? Gold nanorods warmed by beams of infrared light could be the ideal way to deliver drugs through the skin, researchers in Japan have discovered.
Chemistry World December 16, 2010 Elinor Richards	Measuring the strength of garlic Richard Compton and his team from the University of Oxford have made an electrochemical sensor that detects the amount of diallylsulfides in garlic. Larger amounts of diallylsulfides indicate a stronger flavor.
Chemistry World December 15, 2010 Hayley Birch	New technique probes electron properties of individual atoms A new, low voltage electron microscopy technique allows scientists to discriminate not just between atoms of different elements but between atoms of the same element in different electronic states.
Chemistry World December 15, 2010 James Urquhart	Biohydrogen produced in air A strain of nitrogen-fixing ocean microbe has been found to be the most efficient hydrogen-producing microbe to date, boosting the prospect of one day using hydrogen as an environmentally friendly fuel.
Chemistry World December 15, 2010 Simon Hadlington	Vodka taste test tiff 'Tis the season for the office drinks party, so perhaps an appropriate time for a row to have broken out over the science behind the taste of vodka.
Chemistry World December 14, 2010 Phillip Broadwith	Speeding up electrons in solar cells Swiss and Chinese scientists have developed a new way of making the porous TiO2 electrode for solid state dye-sensitised solar cells.
