Chemistry World February 14, 2011 Rachel Cooper	Small and sensitive nanoparticles A new highly sensitive nanoparticle contrast agent for imaging in the body stays in the bloodstream longer and is better at targeting tumors than other nanoparticle contrast agents, say Chinese scientists.
Chemistry World February 14, 2011 Catherine Bacon	New hepatitis C drug Scientists in the UK have developed a compound to combat the hepatitis C virus that could be taken as a pill.
Chemistry World February 13, 2011 Simon Hadlington	First purely organic phosphor Scientists in the US have made a major advance in the development of novel light-emitting materials by designing the first purely organic phosphorescent compound.
Chemistry World February 13, 2011 James Urquhart	Guiding electrons through graphene US researchers have created a graphene-based device that guides electrons through the material in the same way an optical fiber guides light, using electrical gates.
Chemistry World February 11, 2011 David Barden	Waking up to new possibilities in imaging UK researchers have used a cage-like molecule to smuggle metal ions into cells, which could improve medical imaging.
Chemistry World February 11, 2011 Leanne Marle	Fighting back against antibiotic resistant bacteria Scientists in Japan have revealed how vancomycin dimers are effective against vancomycin-resistant bacteria.
Chemistry World February 11, 2011 Philippa Ross	Breakthrough for bacterial hydrogen production Scientists in China have developed a device that can produce hydrogen from organic materials using bacteria at temperatures below 25 degrees Celsius.
Chemistry World February 11, 2011 Emma Shiells	Enzyme logic biosensor for security surveillance Scientists in the US have made a system that rapidly detects both explosives and nerve agents, providing a simple yes-no response.
Chemistry World February 10, 2011 Laura Howes	Space ice goes against the grain Space ice made from a mixture of methanol and water expands under pressure, and shrinks when heated - the opposite behaviour to most solids.
Chemistry World February 10, 2011 James Urquhart	Molecular motor controls chirality A single molecule catalytic system that uses a light driven molecular motor to dynamically control the molecule's chiral states has been developed by scientists in the Netherlands.
