Chemistry World March 13, 2012 Laura Howes	Children's lungs are more susceptible to nanoparticles Infant lungs are particularly prone to nanoparticle deposition, be it from pollution or inhaled medicines, as air flows differently inside them, say US researchers.
Chemistry World March 12, 2012 Francesca Burgoyne	Genetic testing? We've got an app for that US scientists have developed a device dubbed Gene-Z for point-of-care genetic testing using a smartphone interface that has realistic commercial potential.
Chemistry World March 9, 2012 Rebecca Trager	EPA starts over with its hexavalent chromium review The US Environmental Protection Agency has quietly decided to restart its toxicology review of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in drinking water.
Chemistry World March 9, 2012 Fiona McKenzie	Cleaning up antibodies for disease studies A polymer functionalized with boronic acid promises a cheap and quick way to purify antibodies for disease studies, according to scientists in China.
Chemistry World March 8, 2012 David Bradley	Light-sensitive shape-shifters are swell gels Polymer chemists have successfully emulated the natural shape-shifting abilities of biological tissues, which could allow them to develop a new range of functional materials that change shape reversibly in response to particular stimuli.
Chemistry World March 8, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Double whammy blow to US nuclear science Nuclear science in the US has been dealt a double blow with the announcement of huge budget cuts at the Los Alamos National Laboratory coming hard on the heels of the mothballing of a multi-billion dollar research facility at the lab.
Chemistry World March 8, 2012 Jennifer Newton	Butter substitute reduces blood pressure and cholesterol Scientists from Finland have shown that a spread containing milk peptides and plant sterols could lower systolic blood pressure and LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels.
Chemistry World March 8, 2012 Rachel Cooper	Cerium cation behaviour could change water splitting studies Scientists in Germany and Japan have shown that cerium(IV) predominantly forms a dinuclear complex in aqueous solution.
Chemistry World March 7, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Polymer thermometer picks out cell's hotspots Mapping the temperature differences in different portions of living cells is now possible thanks to a fluorescent polymer thermometer developed by Japanese scientists.
Chemistry World March 7, 2012 Jon Cartwright	Killer crystals turn pyroelectricity on bacteria Crystals of lithium niobate and lithium tantalate powdered and formulated as nanoparticles can act as a disinfectant, killing bacteria at only moderate temperatures, according to researchers in Germany.
