But rather than lying neglected in a dusty attic, this work was hidden under nothing more than a layer of paint.
Chemistry World March 28, 2012 Josh Howgego	Teeth Fight Back Against Bacteria with Graphene Sensor A graphene-based sensor, which can transmit messages from molars, is shaping up to be an attractive prototype for the diagnostic tools of the future.
Chemistry World March 28, 2012 Fay Nolan-Neylan	Drug Release Polymer Triggered by Ultrasound Scientists have found that a drug-loaded shape memory polymer can be manipulated by ultrasound and that they can control when and how the drugs are released.
Chemistry World March 27, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Static's secret rests with material exchange The charge that develops when two materials are rubbed together is dependent on tiny fragments of the materials transferring onto each other, say US scientists.
Chemistry World March 27, 2012 Erica Wise	Unlocking the mysteries of ice The unusual properties of ice under compression are due to Coulomb repulsion between bonding and non-bonding electron pairs, say scientists from Singapore and China.
Chemistry World March 26, 2012 Michael Parkin	Phosphate-Scavenging Nanoparticles Starve Microbes Scientists have developed an antimicrobial strategy using lanthanum oxide nanoparticles to compete against microbes for phosphate.
Chemistry World March 25, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Germanium-Oxygen Double Bond Takes Centre Stage The first compound with a germanium-oxygen double bond has been created by Japanese scientists.
Chemistry World March 23, 2012 Michael Gross	Molecular chaperones caught on film Researchers have combined thousands of snapshots of the barrel-shaped protein GroEL to create a series of films that follow its movement and binding events.
Chemistry World March 23, 2012 Helen Potter	Picking out cysteine for health study A highly selective indicator for the amino acid cysteine has been designed by scientists from the US and China to monitor levels in human plasma.
Chemistry World March 22, 2012 David Bradley	Taming an explosive chemical tiger Diazomethane - CH 2N 2 - is an extremely useful reagent: it can be used in aziridination, carbonyl homologation, cyclopropanation, dipolar cycloaddition, epoxidation, esterification reactions and more.
