Chemistry World September 12, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Nanopore Structures Could Tune Drug Crystallisation A recent finding offers a new way to tune the rate of crystallisation of different compounds and the morphology of the crystals that are formed.
Chemistry World September 9, 2011 James Mitchell Crow	High-throughput catalyst screening for the masses Using nothing more than the standard chemistry lab equipment, researchers in the US have successfully turned the discovery of new catalytic reactions into a high-throughput process.
Chemistry World September 9, 2011 Sean Milmo	King's College resurrects chemistry department King's College London is reopening its department of chemistry in 2012, eight years after it was closed due in part to a sharp drop in the popularity of the subject.
Chemistry World September 8, 2011 David Bradley	Seaweed extract gives lithium batteries a boost An extract from brown algae could give rechargeable lithium-ion batteries a boost by allowing silicon nanopowder to be used as a high-capacity alternative to graphite electrodes.
Chemistry World September 8, 2011 Jon Cartwright	Wonder material not so wonderful Contrary to the widely held view, chemists think graphene electrodes are mostly ineffective at transferring electrons, implying that graphene is a poor choice for sensing applications.
Chemistry World September 8, 2011 Heather Montgomery	Smart glass for energy efficient windows Scientists from China and the US have produced glass that responds to its environmental temperature, making it a promising material for energy efficient windows.
Chemistry World September 8, 2011 Harriet Brewerton	Colourful toxin detection Scientists in Canada have developed a simple chemical detector that could be used to detect airborne neurotoxic organophosphorus chemical warfare agents.
Chemistry World September 7, 2011 Ned Stafford	Analytical Techniques Employed in Art Forgery Case The trial of four people accused of running one of the biggest art forgery rings in post-war Germany has begun, with prosecutors expected to rely heavily on science-based testimony to make their case.
Chemistry World September 6, 2011 Maria Burke	Crystallising Safer Explosives A team from the University of Michigan, US, has used co-crystallisation to combine two explosives to produce a novel compound that is safer and less likely to explode on impact.
Chemistry World September 5, 2011 David Bradley	Spiders, Grubbs' and polymer-powered nanomotors A chemical spider that spins a polymer thread using a simple catalyst could drive a nanomotor, according to researchers at Pennsylvania State University, US.
