Chemistry World March 25, 2011 Simon Hadlington	New synthesis for chiral anticancer compound The promising anticancer compound nutlin-3 is likely to become more widely available to researchers thanks to a new synthetic protocol developed by US chemists.
Chemistry World March 24, 2011 Rebecca Trager	Flights from Japan trip US airport radiation detectors Low levels of radiation have been detected on planes arriving at US airports from Japan, but experts say that overly sensitive detectors are culpable and the public should not be concerned.
Chemistry World March 23, 2011	Antibacterial Clays Kill with Iron US researchers have made a step towards understanding why some natural clays are antibacterial, boosting the chances that they could one day be used as alternatives to antibiotic drugs.
Chemistry World March 21, 2011 Michael Gross	Origin of life experiments revisited Modern analysis of forgotten samples has given chemists in the US additional insights the origins of life on Earth.
Chemistry World March 21, 2011 James Urquhart	Seeing clearly with silicone School children in developing countries who have poor vision could soon see clearly thanks to cheap self-adjustable glasses that use silicone fluid to control the lens power.
Chemistry World March 20, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Amino acids flag risk of diabetes Raised levels of certain amino acids in the blood could flag up the possibility of someone developing diabetes later in life, researchers in the US have discovered.
Chemistry World March 18, 2011 Rebecca Brodie	Simple salt removal to get fresh water Scientists in the US have developed a membrane-free, solvent extraction method to remove salt from seawater that works at low temperatures.
Chemistry World March 18, 2011 Yuandi Li	Carbon capture with sawdust Plants may help to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere when dead as well as alive, say scientists from Spain.
Chemistry World March 18, 2011 Holly Sheahan	Cool roof coating inspired by the poplar leaf The coating could be used on the outside of buildings to counteract the heating effect of carbon dioxide emissions, reducing the energy needed to cool the building from the inside.
Chemistry World March 17, 2011 Andy Extance	Hydrazine fuels hydrogen power hopes Renowned as a rocket propellant, hydrazine could also push forward the development of hydrogen fuel cells for powering vehicles say US-based researchers.
