Chemistry World February 10, 2011 Erica Wise	Raman imaging gives new hope for cancer diagnosis Surface enhanced Raman scattering works by detecting spectroscopic signals of molecules such as cancer antibodies that are in close proximity to metals injected into tissue such as gold or silver nanoparticles.
Chemistry World February 8, 2011 Laura Howes	Neurotoxin detection using brain nanotubes Chan Beum Park's team in Korea, has used these nanotubes to give an optical signal in the presence of phosphate based neurotoxin paraoxon
Chemistry World February 7, 2011 Carl Saxton	Targeting memory loss A new treatment for Alzheimer's disease has been developed by Canadian and US scientists.
Chemistry World February 6, 2011 Laura Howes	Cells as test tubes Chemists have used living cells as test tubes to carry out chemical reactions never before seen within living cells.
Chemistry World February 4, 2011 Holly Sheahan	Crime scene DNA testing on the move A microfluidic chip that can come up with a DNA profile in less than three hours has been designed by US scientists for use at crime scenes.
Chemistry World February 4, 2011 Elinor Richards	Strychnine in just six steps Strychnine, best known as a poison but also used medicinally as a stimulant, can now be synthesised in just six steps, say US scientists.
Chemistry World February 4, 2011	MOF magnets deliver drugs German scientists have encapsulated nanomagnets inside metal organic frameworks. The MOF magnets can be filled with a drug, which is released when a magnetic field is applied.
Chemistry World February 4, 2011 Harriet Brewerton	Transplant tracking Magnetic nanoparticles could be used to track neural stem cells after a transplant in order to monitor how the cells heal spinal injuries, say UK scientists.
Chemistry World February 3, 2011 Hayley Birch	Nanoparticle studies guide coating design A new study provides guidance for designing nanoparticle coatings based on the particles' size and the environment they are to be used in. The research could help scientists create more effective nanoparticle drug carriers.
Chemistry World February 3, 2011 Mike Brown	Exfoliating layered materials Layered materials can be separated into individual sheets with enhanced electronic properties using a new quick and simple method, says an international team of researchers.
