Chemistry World April 18, 2012 Elinor Richards	Homogeneous Catalyst Recovery Made Easier Scientists have now found a way to recover homogeneous catalysts at the end of a chemical reaction that doesn't suffer from the slow reaction rates that affect current catalyst recovery systems.
Chemistry World April 17, 2012 Elinor Richards	Ionic liquid drugs hit the spot Pharmaceutically active ionic liquids have been immobilised onto solid supports to enable liquid drugs to be administered in solid form.
Chemistry World April 15, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Giving drug dropouts a new lease of life Researchers in the US have designed a molecular container that can encapsulate drug molecules and increase their solubility - in one case by almost 3000 times.
Chemistry World April 15, 2012 Jon Evans	Synthetic chemists print labware to order Not only do 3D printers offer the possibility of producing vessels with much more complex architectures, but the vessels can be designed to influence the course of the reaction or even to take part in it.
Chemistry World April 13, 2012 Lucy Gilbert	Plant spores mop up oil UK researchers have modified plant spore microcapsules to take up to three and a half times their own weight in oil by a simple mixing process, giving them potential as natural oil-spill clean-up materials.
Chemistry World April 13, 2012 Rebecca Trager	Confusion reigns over EPA green chemistry stance Earlier this month, the EPA suddenly cancelled two grant programs worth a total of $20 million, which would have funded four new green chemistry centers. But just five days later it announced that it would be accepting grant applications this summer after all.
Chemistry World April 12, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Recruiting electrophiles for organic cross-coupling Chemists in the US have taken an unconventional approach to carbon cross-coupling and in doing so have potentially opened the door to the rapid and efficient synthesis of a wide range of organic compounds.
Chemistry World April 12, 2012 Alisa Becker	Nanoscale engineering of wound beds A collagen-binding peptide with applications in wound healing has been developed by scientists in the US.
Chemistry World April 11, 2012 Mico Tatalovic	Croatian scientists call for chemical reagent regulation Prominent Croatian scientists are calling for better regulation of the domestic market for laboratory chemicals and reagents as prices can be as much as 70% higher than in other European countries.
Chemistry World April 10, 2012 Andy Extance	Microfluidic Fuel Cell Powers Forward Researchers have challenged prevailing fuel cell wisdom by throwing out three standard characteristics of today's mainstream systems to drive down their cost.
