Chemistry World April 14, 2011 Laura Howes	DNA origami yields tiny flask A US group of researchers has made a round bottomed flask from folded up DNA with an internal capacity of just 24000nm 3, which would be enough to hold 800,000 molecules of water.
Chemistry World April 13, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Microrockets aim at cancer diagnostics Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have made self-propelled microtube rockets that can find and capture cancer cells from blood samples.
Chemistry World April 13, 2011 Fay Nolan-Neylan	Nanofiltration for better energy storage Scientists in China have found that nanofiltration membranes could enhance the efficiency of vanadium redox flow batteries making them a more viable tool for large-scale energy storage.
Chemistry World April 12, 2011 Meera Senthilingam	How antidepressants spur brain growth Researchers have identified the mechanism by which some antidepressants stimulate the formation of new brain cells, an insight that could lead to improved drugs.
Chemistry World April 11, 2011 Mike Brown	One catalyst, two reactions Researchers in the US have designed a novel material that can catalyse two separate, sequential reactions to produce industrially relevant intermediates in one pot.
Chemistry World April 11, 2011 Laura Howes	Pocket sized fuel cell, a step closer A new catalyst for hydrogen evolution could see you carry around a fuel cell in your pocket to power electronic devices.
Chemistry World April 7, 2011 Andy Extance	Surface plasmons create vivid holograms Plasmons are "quasiparticles" that are observed when electrons in a metal collectively oscillate at light wave frequency.
Chemistry World April 7, 2011 Laura Howes	Long chains give new life to RNA world hypothesis The so-called RNA world hypothesis has gained fresh momentum with the synthesis of the longest lab grown RNA strands made using an enzyme that is itself made of RNA, an 'RNAzyme'.
Chemistry World April 7, 2011	Molecular Fridge Can Reach Millikelvin Scientists have laid the foundations for a high-performance 'molecular fridge' capable of reaching temperatures within a few thousandths of a degree of absolute zero with a high degree of efficiency.
Chemistry World April 7, 2011 Carl Saxton	Power sources get flexible US scientists have designed an ultra-thin, flexible battery with the highest charge capacity reported for thin film cells. The battery can also be charged at a lower voltage than lithium ion batteries.
