Chemistry World July 21, 2011 Serin Dabb	Small Wires Swim Through Serum for Drug Delivery US researchers have made nanowires that can be propelled through liquids with an external magnetic field. The wires could be used to deliver drugs in the human body.
Chemistry World July 20, 2011 Josh Howgego	Magnets turn up the heat on tumours Claims that magnets can cure cancer might sound like quackery. But French researchers have harnessed iron oxide structures from bacteria to selectively kill tumour cells using an alternating magnetic field.
Chemistry World July 19, 2011 Jon Cartwright	Magnetic Sponge Can Squeeze Itself Out Researchers in Japan and Singapore have created a sponge that can wring itself out upon application of a magnetic field.
Chemistry World July 18, 2011 Meera Senthilingam	Appetite for salt linked to drug addiction Researchers in the US and Australia have identified the mechanism underlying an ancient animal instinct: our appetite for sodium chloride (salt).
Chemistry World July 18, 2011 Patrick Walter	UK chemistry threatened by funding squeeze Chemistry in the UK is in danger of falling behind its international competitors as a result of a squeeze on funding for vital lab equipment, according to chemistry department heads.
Chemistry World July 15, 2011 Laura Howes	Cyclodextrin Dimer Becomes Synthetic Polymerase Chemists have made an artificial polymerase that doesn't need a metal catalyst or organic solvents and is more efficient than current bioinspired approaches.
Chemistry World July 15, 2011 Jon Cartwright	Making Room for Larger Pores in Zeolites Surfactants can be used to build zeolites with hierarchical structures and large pores.
Chemistry World July 14, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Natural Products Made Via a Single Parent Molecule Chemists in the US have taken inspiration from nature to devise a new concept for rapidly and efficiently synthesising structurally diverse natural products from a single common precursor.
Chemistry World July 13, 2011 Rajesh Parishwad	Manufacturers targeted by India's e-waste laws In a bid to tackle this problem the government has enacted legislation that will systematize e-waste recycling and require manufacturers to reduce levels of hazardous chemicals in electronics.
Chemistry World July 12, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Bit Part for Diethylfluoromalonate in Reaction Model A quantum simulation has successfully described the progression of a chemical reaction for the first time.
