Chemistry World April 4, 2012 Harriet Brewerton	Speeding up wound healing Scientists in China have developed a material that reduces the time required for a skin wound to heal.
Chemistry World April 4, 2012 Jon Evans	Novel mass sensor is off the scale Spanish scientists have produced the world's most sensitive set of scales that should be capable of weighing a single proton.
Chemistry World April 3, 2012 Elinor Richards	Queen bee compounds Scientists in Italy have created an environmentally friendly method of making the principal bioactive compound found in royal jelly.
Chemistry World April 3, 2012 Helen Gray	Mass spectrometry imaging: the new tool in counterfeit security The ever-increasing sophistication of the counterfeit trade is a growing economic problem, and when applied to pharmaceuticals, dangerous to human health.
Chemistry World April 2, 2012 Jon Cartwright	Hydrogen That Mimics Graphene Researchers claim to have discovered a new phase of hydrogen in which the diatomic molecules break apart to form six-atom rings, similar to graphene. The new phase, which occurs at very high pressures, could be a stepping stone towards a long-sought after phase: metallic hydrogen.
Chemistry World April 2, 2012 Yuandi Li	Mystery of Green Bacon Solved Have you ever wondered what the green pigment sometimes seen in bacon is? A team of US scientists did and have determined the structure of this 'nitrite burn'.
