Chemistry World February 20, 2012 James Urquhart	Unusual kinetics of catalyst revealed US researchers have elucidated the unusual reaction kinetics of C-H activation by the palladium(II) catalyst (Pd(OAc) 2).
Chemistry World February 16, 2012 Elinor Richards	Making crisps healthier An investigation by UK scientists into how salt is released from crisps (known as potato chips in the US) as you eat them could lead to a healthier crisp that tastes just as good.
Chemistry World February 16, 2012 Simon Hadlington	'Proton grease' speeds up molecular rotor A molecular rotor whose spin can be accelerated 10-million-fold when its mechanism is 'lubricated' by protons has been synthesized by chemists in the US.
Chemistry World February 15, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Consistent Avogadro number a step nearer Chemical metrologists in Canada have made the most accurate measurement of silicon's molecular weight to date in a bid to derive a consistent and internationally acceptable figure for the Avogadro constant.
Chemistry World February 15, 2012 James Urquhart	Branched organic nanowire heterojunctions Chinese researchers have combined two organic materials to create branched organic nanowire heterojunctions for the first time.
Chemistry World February 13, 2012 Andy Extance	Protocells called thermal springs home The first 'protocells' may have arisen in puddles of liquid spewed onto the ancient Earth's surface by thermal springs rather than near deep sea hydrothermal vents.
Chemistry World February 12, 2012 Laura Howes	Thermal imaging on the wing By adding carbon nanotubes to butterfly wings chemists have been able to turn these nanostructures into an infrared detector.
Chemistry World February 12, 2012 Jon Cartwright	Nanoparticles slow iron absorption in the gut Nanoparticles used in food and pharmaceuticals could have unintended physiological effects.
Chemistry World February 10, 2012 Elinor Richards	Instant ecstasy detector The probe has been designed to detect the active ingredient in ecstasy - MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) - even when it is mixed with other common additives, which has been a challenge.
Chemistry World February 9, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Molecule mimics molybdenum catalyst Chemists in the US have created a molecule that closely resembles the key active portion of molybdenum disulfide, an important solid industrial catalyst that shows promise for the generation of hydrogen from water.
