Chemistry World November 16, 2011 Helen Potter	Early diagnosis for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's US scientists have developed a biosensor that could detect the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease by measuring low concentrations of protein aggregates in cerebrospinal fluid.
Chemistry World November 15, 2011 Phillip Broadwith	Creating a toolbox for nanoparticle synthesis Hybrid nanoparticles made from several different materials that can be built up in a controlled and directed manner have been created by chemists in the US.
Chemistry World November 15, 2011 Sean Milmo	Fracking with propane gel An alternative approach to hydraulic fracturing or fracking of shale rock to release tightly-stored natural gas that may be safer than conventional techniques is being tested across North America.
Chemistry World November 15, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Shedding light on ultracold reactions in space Two teams of researchers in the US and Europe have shown that light can play a bigger role than expected in the nascent field of ultracold atom-ion interactions.
Chemistry World November 14, 2011 Jon Cartwright	Chemists claim metallic hydrogen creation first For over a century, scientists have said it should be possible to turn hydrogen into a metal. Now, a pair of chemists in Germany claim to have finally performed the feat, although others remain skeptical.
Chemistry World November 11, 2011 Phillip Robinson	Functionalized fiber catches flu before you do Scientists in China have developed a fibre that can trap the flu virus, which could be used in face masks and air filters to help to control the spread of the disease.
Chemistry World November 11, 2011 Emma Eley	Intelligent packaging to detect spoiled food A sensor that changes color in the presence of oxygen could be useful in the food packaging industry, according to its UK inventors.
Chemistry World November 11, 2011 Charlie Quigg	Invisible ink for the 21st century Scientists from China have developed a new lithographic printing technique to layer a pattern onto photonic paper.
Chemistry World November 10, 2011 David Bradley	A soluble solution to the Haber process? A clearer understanding of the activity of the key component of the Haber-Bosch process - the catalyst - could help to optimize industrial nitrogen fixation still further and remove the need for high temperatures and pressures.
Chemistry World November 10, 2011 Helen Gray	Shrinky Dink origami powered by heat US scientists have devised a method of generating 3D structures from flat surfaces by printing patterns onto a polymeric children's toy and letting an IR heat lamp do the rest.
