Chemistry World February 27, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Bending carbonyl reactivity rules Belgian chemists have uncovered a method to bypass the standard reactivity hierarchy of carbonyl compounds, allowing a ketone or ester to be reduced in the presence of a more reactive aldehyde.
Chemistry World February 24, 2012 Philip Robinson	In the sky with (nano)diamonds Australian researchers have developed a model to resolve the origin of meteoric nanodiamonds, a long-standing cosmological puzzle.
Chemistry World February 24, 2012 Yuandi Li	Computers look at life-giving reactions in space Theoretical chemistry could answer some questions about how life on earth originated, say Australian researchers.
Chemistry World February 23, 2012 Rebecca Trager	EPA sets safe dioxin level The US Environmental Protection Agency has released its non-cancer science assessment for dioxins after nearly three decades of delays - to a mixture of responses from stakeholders.
Chemistry World February 23, 2012 Laura Howes	Simple sensitive TNT detection Indian scientists have created a gel that gives a fluorescence response when exposed to particles of explosive trinitrotoluene
Chemistry World February 23, 2012 Russell Johnson	Powering up fuel cells A hydrogen fuel cell that uses carbon nanotubes to increase the amount of electrocatalyst attached to electrodes has been designed by UK scientists.
Chemistry World February 22, 2012 Patrick Walter	Cyclotron remedy for imaging isotope shortages The new technology will result in the decentralization of the production of technetium-99m, with hospitals making the isotope on demand using tabletop cyclotrons.
Chemistry World February 22, 2012 Nina Notman	Mapping the reactivity of single nanocatalysts 'Using super resolution imaging we can map out where catalytic reactions occur on a single nanocatalyst,' says Peng Chen, the lead researcher based at Cornell University.
Chemistry World February 21, 2012 Patrick Walter	Nanocellulose has paper potential A nano form of cellulose could soon displace wood pulp in paper, allowing producers to increase the amount of mineral filler they use when they make paper, thanks to work by a Finnish team.
Chemistry World February 21, 2012	Treat science as a hobby Jie Liu talks to Heather Montgomery about his scientific inspirations and the next big breakthrough in carbon nanotube research.
