Chemistry World March 6, 2012 Emma Eley	Luminescent Carbon Nanodots From Coffee Scientists from Taiwan have developed a less toxic way to create luminescent carbon nanodots by using waste coffee grounds.
Chemistry World March 5, 2012 James Urquhart	Simulating Your Way to a Better Supercapacitor Researchers have used computer simulations to elucidate how supercapacitors are able to store electric charge.
Chemistry World March 5, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Magnetic Levitation to Measure Protein Binding A simple device made from two magnets, some polymer beads and a tube of liquid can measure how strongly a protein binds to a ligand.
Chemistry World March 5, 2012 Simon Perks	Molecular Dance Set to Make Waves Across the Pond Danceroom Spectroscopy, developed by Milwaukee-born theoretical chemist David Glowacki, has wowed scientists, artists and the general public.
Chemistry World March 2, 2012 Holly Sheahan	Piezoelectricity improves solar cell efficiency US researchers have come up with an explanation for their recent results that show that introducing piezoelectric semiconductor nanowires into solar cells improves their efficiency.
Chemistry World March 2, 2012 Andrea McGhee	Nanowires heading in the right direction Scientists in Switzerland have controlled the supramolecular self-assembly of polymers to form nanofibrils that could be used as organic nanowires in electronic devices.
Chemistry World March 2, 2012 Sean Milmo	Reach dossiers failing on data An evaluation of the first tranche of registration dossiers submitted under the EU Reach (registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals) regulation suggests the vast majority have inadequate data.
Chemistry World March 1, 2012 David Bradley	Roaming reactions double up in atmospheric chemistry Chemists have found a chemical reaction that ignores its reaction coordinate and seemingly bypasses the conventional mechanics of transition state theory to display two distinct 'roaming' mechanisms.
Chemistry World March 1, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Quicklime provides a hot way for rapid HIV detection US researchers have developed a rapid testing kit for HIV, which uses nothing more sophisticated than quicklime to power it.
Chemistry World March 1, 2012 Samantha Cheung	Healthier sausages Scientists in Canada have shown that sausages can be made using vegetable oil and a gelling agent instead of animal fat, without altering the texture.
