Chemistry World June 17, 2012 Jon Evans	Anti-social amino acids gang up Previously thought to be purely the preserve of proteins and peptides, scientists have discovered that the amino acid phenylalanine can form the toxic amyloid fibrils that are a hallmark of diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Chemistry World June 17, 2012 Harriet Brewerton	Back to carbon black Scientists in Singapore have discovered the potential of a readily available material that could be used to replace expensive graphene analogues in a wide range of electrochemical processes.
Chemistry World June 14, 2012 David Bradley	Tripling up on boron bonds Carbon and nitrogen are well known for their triple bonds, but making stable compounds with a triple bond between two boron atoms hadn't been achieved despite the computational possibilities. Until now.
Chemistry World June 14, 2012 Laura Howes	Uranium dating fingers Neanderthals as artists Researchers used U-Th ratios to date calcite deposits that overlaid the Paleolithic artwork to calculate a minimum age of the cave paintings.
Chemistry World June 14, 2012 Andrew Turley	ECHA finishes first combo review The European Chemical Agency has for the first time looked at a group of chemicals as a combination when considering risks associated with exposure -- rather than looking at each chemical in isolation.
Chemistry World June 14, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Oxo wall still stands as inorganic papers retracted A long-running saga in the rarified world of metal -- oxo chemistry appears to be drawing to a close following the voluntary retraction of three controversial papers
Chemistry World June 14, 2012 Russell Johnson	Surfactant driven propulsion A small autonomous boat powered by a volatile surfactant has been developed by scientists in Finland and Israel. The surfactant modifies the surface tension of the liquid it floats on to create a surface tension gradient that propels the boat forward.
Chemistry World June 14, 2012 Nina Notman	A celebration of chemistry Simon Cotton's latest book, Every Molecule Tells a Story, is -- in his own words -- 'a celebration of molecules and of chemistry' aimed at school and university students, and their teachers.
Chemistry World May 2, 2012 Derry Jones	A Charismatic Genius Pierre-Gilles de Gennes: A Life in Science by Laurence Plevert, describes the scientist who won a Nobel Prize for theoretical physics, but he also made advances in physical chemistry.
Chemistry World June 13, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Exploding molecule provides 3D bond images Researchers from the US and Germany have demonstrated a new way to obtain accurate three-dimensional images of molecules, with precise measurements of the geometry of the molecule's chemical bonds.
