Chemistry World December 20, 2011 Simon Hadlington	pH adjustable protein micro-lenses Scientists in China have used a common protein to create tiny optical lenses, a few tens of micrometres in diameter, whose focus can be adjusted simply by changing the pH of the surrounding medium.
Chemistry World December 19, 2011 Rebecca Trager	US agencies collaborate to test 10,000 chemicals A high-speed robotic screening system jointly initiated by three key US health agencies began testing more than 10,000 chemical compounds for potential toxicity on 7 December.
Chemistry World December 16, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Radical experiment assesses interstellar nitrogen Radical reactions are challenging to measure at cold temperatures, but an international team of researchers have recently clocked the rate for atomic nitrogen and hydroxyl radicals at 56K.
Chemistry World December 15, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Scrunched up graphene to store hydrogen Corrugated graphene could be used as an inexpensive and efficient way to store hydrogen, according to theoretical calculations by scientists in Italy.
Chemistry World December 14, 2011 Kate McAlpine	Artificial intelligence for quantum chemistry Quantum chemical approximations don't always need to start from scratch, says an international team of researchers. Algorithms can now be used to predict the atomisation energy of huge numbers of molecules
Chemistry World December 13, 2011 Jon Cartwright	Scientists unveil tiniest switch Researchers in Germany claim to have created the world's smallest molecular switch, relying on the movement of just a single proton.
