Chemistry World May 11, 2012 Rebecca Trager	Sacked EPA chemist wins job back A senior chemist in the US Environmental Protection Agency, who was fired in 2010 after speaking out about the dangers of the dust at the World Trade Center wreckage following the 11 September 2001 attacks, has won her job back.
Food Processing May 2012 John Rost, Chairman	FDA Affirms Safety of BPA Agency finally rules -- negatively -- on 2008 petition from Natural Resource Defense Council.
Chemistry World May 10, 2012 Holly Sheahan	Forensic electrochemistry to detect firearms use A group led by Joe Wang at the University of California-San Diego, USA has developed a new forensic technique that can detect gunshot residue at the scene of the crime.
Chemistry World May 10, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Borosulfate breaks through Henning Hoppe, together with a team from the University of Augsburg and Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany, created potassium borosulfate - K 5[B(SO 4) 4] - by heating potassium sulfate with boric and sulfuric acids.
Chemistry World May 9, 2012 Jon Cartwright	Cracks break the rules of nanofabrication When it comes to nanofabrication, cracks are usually best avoided. But now researchers in South Korea have discovered that cracks aren't always bad - if harnessed, they can be used to make controlled patterns.
Chemistry World May 9, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Disposable paper electronic touch pads on their way Researchers in the US and France have developed a paper-based electronic touch pad, opening the way for low cost, throwaway touch pads to be incorporated into anything from food packaging to disposable or sterile medical devices.
Chemistry World May 8, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Keep stirring that Suzuki The shape of your reaction vessel can influence the behavior of organotrifluoroborate compounds in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, say chemists in the UK.
Chemistry World May 3, 2012 Tegan Thomas	Rapid synthesis of graphene capsules A rapid route to synthesize graphene capsules has been developed by researchers in the US and Korea. The capsules can be nano-engineered on demand and show promise in oil absorption.
Chemistry World May 2, 2012 Russell Johnson	Reducing the cost of oxygen enrichment A simple synthesis using ionic liquids reduces the cost of studying micro-porous oxide materials by NMR. This could help scientists uncover the chemistry and interactions that occur inside these materials.
Chemistry World May 1, 2012 David Bradley	A colorful way to size up nanoparticles Researchers in China have now developed a straightforward light-scattering technique to estimate the size of gold nanoparticles in the 35 to 110nm range.
