Chemistry World October 19, 2011 Jon Evans	Twisted Self-Assembly May Lead to Artificial Bone Under the right conditions, bacteria-infecting viruses known as M13 phages can self-assemble to form a whole host of useful structures.
Chemistry World October 19, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Ironing Out the Wrinkles in Graphene Ribbon Fabrication Building graphene on a wrinkled surface allows researchers to cut out parallel graphene nanoribbons.
Chemistry World October 18, 2011 Steve Down	Cofactor Control of Catalysis Enantioselectivity Scientists have used cofactors to control the enantioselectivity of supramolecular transition metal catalysts, enabling the asymmetric hydrogenation of a series of acrylates and related compounds with remarkably high selectivities.
Chemistry World October 17, 2011 Andy Extance	Water erodes 'lock and key' drug model US researchers have dealt a severe blow to the idea of a single 'hydrophobic effect' that can help explain how all drugs dock with proteins.
Chemistry World October 17, 2011 Hayley Birch	Quickly sorting cells using DNA A new magnetic cell sorting technique uses principles borrowed from DNA nanodevices. The approach could help scientists rapidly separate different types of cells from complex mixtures.
Chemistry World October 14, 2011 James Mitchell Crow	Twist in the tale to improve gene therapy New insights into the physical properties of different forms of DNA could help to improve gene therapy, chemists in Spain and India say.
Chemistry World October 13, 2011 Phillip Broadwith	Following Electrons' Chemical Reaction Quickstep The oscillating electronic states of molecules nearby and passing through a conical intersection can now be probed directly.
Chemistry World October 13, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Carbon Nanotubes Give Artificial Muscles a New Twist Scientists have created an artificial muscle fiber that can twist at high speeds in both directions along its axis while carrying a heavy load.
Chemistry World October 13, 2011 Rachel Cooper	Beating the Counterfeiters Scientists from China have created nanoparticles with dual mode color for anti-counterfeiting ink, making it harder to imitate than current inks.
Chemistry World October 13, 2011 Fay Nolan Neylan	Fluoride Shuttle Batteries Lift Off Scientists in Germany say that a rechargeable battery that works on the basis of fluoride transfer between electrodes could have a better storage capacity than current batteries.
