Chemistry World October 13, 2011 Holly Sheahan	Probes Inspired by Butterflies Inspired by the feeding tube of butterflies, US scientists have made a flexible and porous artificial proboscis that could be used to collect tiny liquid samples. The probe can be operated remotely to collect hazardous liquids.
Chemistry World October 12, 2011 Joanne Thomson	Hot Chemistry Temperature played a crucial role in David MacMillan's decision to study chemistry.
Chemistry World October 11, 2011 Andrew Turley	A Polymer Plug for Blood Vessels A polymer product that can temporarily block blood vessels during surgery has been approved in the US. The product, called LeGoo, is liquid at room temperature, but rapidly forms a gel when warmed by the body, creating a firm plug and halting blood flow.
Chemistry World October 11, 2011 David Bradley	Hope for Arsenic Free Water From Deep Underground Researchers have found that arsenic adsorption by sediments could help prevent the salts intruding into groundwater more than 150 meters deep.
Chemistry World October 9, 2011 Phillip Broadwith	Growing gallium nitride LEDs on glass Korean researchers have grown crystalline gallium nitride on the surface of amorphous glass. The idea could lead to new, scalable ways of making semiconductor devices that don't need to be grown on silicon or sapphire wafers.
Chemistry World October 9, 2011 Simon Hadlington	New probe throws light on cellular lipids Scientists in the US have developed a new sensor that can track and measure lipids in living cells.
Chemistry World October 7, 2011 Elinor Richards	Chameleon clothes to detect falling oxygen levels A cloth that changes colour when oxygen levels drop has been developed by scientists in China. The cloth could be used to make clothes that monitor oxygen levels for miners, high altitude adventurers and space explorers.
Chemistry World October 7, 2011 Sarah Farley	Detecting diseases with DNA sensors DNA sensors detect pathogenic and genetic diseases by binding to target DNA strands that are related to the disease and giving a signal that shows how much of the DNA is present.
Chemistry World October 6, 2011 Steve Down	Smoothing Out Zeolite Nanosheet Synthesis US scientists have overcome a significant hurdle in the production of zeolite nanosheets, which should make these versatile materials simpler to synthesize.
Chemistry World October 6, 2011 Manisha Lalloo	Oxygen Isotopes Help to Probe Water's Structure Scientists have used isotopic substitution of oxygen to take a closer look at the molecular structure of water.
