Chemistry World August 18, 2011 Elinor Richards	Two for one - cleaning water and generating energy A fuel cell system that can generate electricity from organic compounds and clean up wastewater at the same time has been developed by scientists in China.
Chemistry World August 18, 2011 Helen Bache	Sugar injection to beat hospital infection A carbohydrate from the surface of the most virulent strain of the bacterium Clostridium difficile has been synthesised by chemists in Germany. The molecule could be used to develop a vaccine against the infection.
Chemistry World August 17, 2011 Josh Howgego	Worms Modified to Express Unnatural Amino Acids Unnatural amino acids have been expressed for the first time in complex multicellular organisms. Researchers hope this will open up new ways to track biochemical processes and disease pathways.
Chemistry World August 16, 2011 Patrick Walter	Chemists Vent Anger at Funding Body in Letters to UK Government UK chemists are in open revolt over administrative interference in their field by the main grant funder.
Chemistry World August 15, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Trifluoromethylation Made Easy US researchers have discovered a simple, low-cost way to add fluorine atoms to heteroaromatic rings.
Chemistry World August 15, 2011 Laura Howes	Making Light Work of Disassembling Capped Nanotubes Scientists have made self assembling nanotubes that are capped at the ends.
Chemistry World August 12, 2011 Manisha Lalloo	Unraveling cell membranes to understand drugs Researchers in Sweden have found a way to create flattened cell membranes, known as supported lipid bilayers, out of real cell structures.
Chemistry World August 11, 2011 Josh Howgego	Enzyme Inspired Nickel Complex Races to Produce Hydrogen A cheap nickel catalyst could pave the way for the industrial production of hydrogen - a step on the road to a hydrogen economy.
Chemistry World August 11, 2011 Hayley Birch	'Dial a Molecule' Approach Controls Antibiotic Production Scientists have used genetic methods to control the chemical structures of pacidamycin antibiotics produced in bacteria. Their approach allows them to 'dial into' particular molecules, and to generate new pacidamycins.
Chemistry World August 10, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Sapphire scaffold builds flexoelectric film from the ground up Researchers in South Korea and the UK have produced a film that makes electricity when you bend it - and crucially it is over a million times better at this than other crystalline solids with the same properties.
