Chemistry World March 17, 2011 Elinor Richards	Cleaning up nuclear storage ponds UK scientists have analysed the chemistry taking place in storage ponds at nuclear power sites, such as Sellafield, to come up with a way to remove radioactive waste as nuclear regulatory bodies are pressing on the nuclear industry to clean up the ponds.
Chemistry World March 16, 2011 James Urquhart	Monitoring oil sand toxicity Researchers in the UK and Canada have identified for the first time some of the individual components of toxic naphthenic acid mixtures present in waste water from oil sands.
Chemistry World March 16, 2011 Laura Howes	The explosive potential of nitrogen compounds Two separate groups have looked at the explosive potential of nitrogen compounds but while one group made an incredibly explosive compound, the others have developed a safer synthetic route for tetrazoles.
Chemistry World March 16, 2011	Inspirational science Seong Keun Kim is head of the Molecular Reaction Dynamics Laboratory at Seoul National University, Korea. He uses spectroscopic, microscopic and computational methods to investigate a wide range of subjects from molecular physics and nanoscience to cell biology.
Chemistry World March 14, 2011 Hepeng Jia	China bans whitening additives in flour Whiteners to be banned include benzoyl peroxide and calcium peroxide, which whiten flour through oxidation. When ingested in large amounts, the chemicals are harmful to the respiratory system and can cause sensitization.
Chemistry World March 11, 2011 Harriet Brewerton	Drawing batteries Scientists in Japan have made an electrode for a lithium-air battery using a pencil. The advance could bring efficient, environmentally friendly and safe batteries for electric vehicles a step closer.
Chemistry World March 11, 2011 Elinor Richards	Making baby food safer Scientists from Spain have used a lab on a chip device to quickly analyse levels of zearalenone, a contaminant, in infant foods with a detection limit below legislative requirements.
Chemistry World March 11, 2011 David Barden	Out of the blue - a new phosphor for flat screen displays Materials chemists in China have developed a compound that they believe should improve the quality of field emission displays, bringing applications a step closer.
Chemistry World March 10, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Aerosol data from BP spill Analysis of atmospheric data suggests that emissions of intermediate volatile organic compounds and semi-volatile organic compounds were low compared with those of volatile organic compounds.
Chemistry World March 9, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Chemical mystery of antifungal compound solved US researchers have applied synthetic organic chemistry to crack a mystery that has baffled scientists for more than 50 years: how the powerful, naturally occurring antifungal compound amphotericin B interacts with sterols in cell membranes.
