Chemistry World February 28, 2011 Hayley Birch	Protein nanotubes trap viruses Japanese researchers have used nanotubes made from human blood proteins to trap hepatitis B virus. They say their work lays the foundations for a new chemistry of protein-based nanotubes with biomedical applications.
Chemistry World February 28, 2011 Rebecca Trager	UK lab admits failings in inquest over death The UK Defense Science and Technology Laboratory has been censured over safety failings that led to the death of a government chemist eight years ago.
Chemistry World February 27, 2011 Manisha Lalloo	Catalyst cleans up C-C bond formation Researchers in the US have developed an iridium catalyst that promotes carbon-carbon bond formation between methanol and allenes.
Chemistry World February 25, 2011 Yuandi Li	Mystery of natural sunscreen solved Spanish scientists have established how natural products protect plants from sun damage. The compounds could be used as active ingredients in sunscreens.
Chemistry World February 25, 2011 Rebecca Brodie	Bendy batteries a step closer Scientists from Korea have found that with the use of graphene nanosheets, the fabrication of bendable power sources is possible.
Chemistry World February 24, 2011 James Urquhart	Elusive form of iron captured Researchers in the US and Germany have synthesised and characterised an iron nitride compound that reacts with water to produce high yields of ammonia under mild conditions.
Chemistry World February 24, 2011 Laura Howes	Seaweed recruited in fight against malaria Compounds found in seaweed have shown anti-malarial properties, killing even drug-resistant malaria parasites.
Chemistry World February 24, 2011 Carl Saxton	Mapping brain networks US scientists have created a model of the ring-shaped networks of neurons in the brain, which could help researchers to understand small changes within diseased brain cells.
Chemistry World February 23, 2011 Laura Howes	Capsules for safer and more reliable lithium ion batteries Capsules coated onto electrodes could mitigate potential problems with lithium ion batteries by turning the batteries off when they overheat and 'healing' the electrodes when they crack and degrade, according to a researcher in the US.
Chemistry World February 23, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Polymer coat helps nanoparticles penetrate mucus US researchers have shown how biodegradable, medically safe polymer coatings can help nanoparticles penetrate the mucus lining that protects human tissues to deliver drugs efficiently.
