Chemistry World March 8, 2011 Andy Extance	GSK will pay off UK graduate tuition fees Potential undergraduate chemistry students concerned about their prospects in the face of plant closures and increased tuition fees have been given some cheer by pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline.
Chemistry World March 8, 2011 Jennifer Newton	Measuring cells' oxygen levels with PEBBLEs Scientists in Germany have developed a strategy to visualise oxygen concentrations in cells to better understand its role in biological reactions such as metabolism.
Chemistry World March 8, 2011 Jon Cartwright	Carbon nanotubes - a boon for chiral catalysts Researchers in China have created a new catalyst that could help in the production of chiral molecules for medical drugs. The catalyst, which consists of platinum nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanotubes, is the most active of its type ever reported.
Chemistry World March 7, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Radical dimers held together in molecular flask Researchers in the US have succeeded in trapping pairs of unstable radicals of tetrathiafulvalene, a compound with potentially useful semiconducting properties.
Chemistry World March 7, 2011 Russell Johnson	Breathe out for personalised medicine A method to analyse drug levels in the body could allow people with epilepsy to avoid weeks of blood tests, claim scientists from Switzerland.
Chemistry World March 6, 2011 Mike Brown	Molecules that walk, hop and jump 'Two legged' molecules walk, hop and fly across a receptor surface, according to researchers in the Netherlands and Ireland. The findings could help us understand how viruses and bacteria interact with cell membranes, they say.
Chemistry World March 6, 2011 Laura Howes	Sensitive TB diagnosis using sugar For the first time, tuberculosis can be detected and tracked through the body, using a simple sugar based molecule.
Chemistry World March 4, 2011 Russell Johnson	Tracking the early stages of Alzheimer's disease UK researchers can track the early steps of formation of peptide clumps linked to Alzheimer's disease using the peptide's fluorescent ability. This could help design effective therapies for the disease at an early stage.
Chemistry World March 4, 2011 Fay Nolan-Neylan	Harvesting energy from soft drinks Scientists in China have made a biofuel cell that harvests energy from soft drinks such as iced tea and juices.
Chemistry World March 4, 2011 Carl Saxton	Real-world treatment for dye-contaminated effluents US scientists have found that a dye oxidation process using low levels of an iron catalyst could be used to degrade highly contaminated wastewater under ambient conditions.
