Chemistry World November 30, 2011 Mindy Dulai	How to make a crab shell see-through Researchers in Japan have made a crab shell transparent. Then, using knowledge gained from this activity, they created a transparent nanocomposite sheet, incorporating powdered chitin from crab shells.
Chemistry World November 30, 2011 James Anson	Bomb squad plants Scientists from Puerto Rico have discovered plants that are not only resistant to high levels of TNT but can remove it completely from aqueous media in under 48 hours.
Chemistry World November 29, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Print quality nanotubes control LED switching Researchers in California have developed a way to print transistors made of carbon nanotubes and have used them to turn an organic light emitting diode on and off.
Chemistry World November 28, 2011 Jon Cartwright	Shocking osmotic route to nanopores The new method, which uses osmosis to drive a minor component from a material, should make nanoporous materials easier to manufacture for applications such as filtration.
Chemistry World November 28, 2011 James Urquhart	New Spin on Spider Silk Golden orb spiders ward off ant invasion by spinning silk that contains a chemical deterrent, according to a study by Singaporean and Australian researchers.
Chemistry World November 27, 2011 James Mitchell Crow	Artificial enzymes close in on nature A synthetic metalloprotein that approaches the catalytic performance of a natural enzyme, despite its stripped-down structure, has been developed by a team of chemists in the US.
Chemistry World November 25, 2011 Jon Evans	Cancer diagnosis goes for gold Gold nanoparticles could help diagnose a wide range of different cancers by detecting telomerase activity within cells, say Chinese chemists.
Chemistry World November 24, 2011 Phillip Broadwith	Rewriting the rules for polar molecules A molecule containing two atoms of the same element can have a permanent electric dipole, say US and German scientists, contradicting the traditional view of molecular polarity.
Chemistry World November 24, 2011 Hepeng Jia	China's emissions still surging China's carbon dioxide emissions have kept growing quickly, shadowing worldwide efforts to fight global warming.
Chemistry World November 24, 2011 Elinor Richards	Blocking cancer's path A concise synthesis of the natural product rasfonin could reignite interest in this molecule as a tool to develop cancer drugs, say scientists from the Netherlands.
