Chemistry World June 2011	Chemistry and risk perception Dismissing the fears of a risk-averse public is no way to build constructive working relationships, writes David Ropeik
Chemistry World May 31, 2011 Manisha Lalloo	Hard x-rays to watch chemical reactions Researchers at the ESRF synchrotron at Grenoble, France, produced hard x-rays to look beneath the surface of materials made of lighter elements
Chemistry World May 27, 2011 Sean Milmo	EU bans cadmium in plastics, jewellery The EU is banning the use of cadmium, a heavy metal carcinogen, in plastics, jewellery and brazing or soldering sticks from December this year.
Chemistry World May 26, 2011 James Mitchell Crow	Polymer caterpillar crawls in humid weather A polymer-based device that can walk caterpillar-like across a surface has been developed by researchers in China.
Chemistry World May 26, 2011 Russell Johnson	Hunting elusive green fluorescent proteins After a 40 year hunt, scientists have tracked down the genes responsible for fluorescent proteins in Obelia medusa - a type of jellyfish. Knowledge of these genes could lead to new fluorescent protein tags for use in cell biology.
Chemistry World May 26, 2011 Rebecca Brodie	Nanospray for nanodrugs Teams from the US and Germany have developed a spray drying technique to fabricate drug formulations smaller than 100nm for pharmaceutical trials, improving the drugs' solubility, or bioavailability.
Chemistry World May 26, 2011 Mike Brown	Ibuprofen: anticancer drug Scientists in the UK have moved a step closer to understanding how ibuprofen could help treat cancer.
Chemistry World May 25, 2011 James Urquhart	Electron remains stubbornly spherical UK scientists have made the most accurate measurements to date of the shape of the electron and found - contrary to predictions that it would be aspherical - that it remains round.
Chemistry World May 25, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Mars is the planet that never grew up Scientists in the US have analysed isotopes in meteorites that resemble Martian geology and have discovered that the planet stopped growing while its solar system siblings carried on developing.
Chemistry World May 25, 2011 James Urquhart	Engineered bacterium to take on petrochemicals producers US sustainable chemicals company Genomatica has demonstrated a commercially viable approach for turning sugar into 1,4-butanediol -- a globally important petrochemical intermediate - using a metabolically engineered strain of E. coli.
