Chemistry World June 21, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Building nanographene by organic synthesis Japanese scientists are making tiny fragments of graphene using direct cross-coupling of C-H bonds to determine what effect size and edge geometry have on the properties of carbon materials.
Chemistry World June 21, 2012 Holly Sheahan	Smart windows store sun's energy Scientists in China have developed a smart window that not only heats and cools a building, but can also act as an energy storage device to power electrical equipment within the building.
Chemistry World June 21, 2012 Simon Hadlington	'Atomic traffic jam' sheds light on phase changes The prospect of a new generation of electronic computer memory devices based on metallic alloys that can switch between crystalline and amorphous phases has moved a step closer with two new pieces of research.
Chemistry World June 1, 2012 Philip Ball	A dose by any other name With graphene, fullerenes and dendrimers, scientists have shown that they can sometimes master the trick of balancing euphony, descriptiveness and specificity in chemical naming.
Chemistry World June 20, 2012 Laura Howes	94 Elements film project A new film project has been launched exploring how the chemical elements -- from hydrogen to plutonium -- affect our lives.
Chemistry World June 20, 2012 Rebecca Brodie	Faster removal of cigarette filters from the environment Filters can take years to degrade. Celanese Corporation has been working to develop a filter that contains a controlled-release organic acid to catalyse the hydrolysis of the filter material.
Chemistry World June 20, 2012 Hamish Kidd	Not to be sniffed at Not to be Sniffed at: Scent and Chemistry: The Molecular World of Odors by Ohloff and others begins with an introduction to the history of odors and the molecular basis of olfaction, including structure -- odor relationships.
Chemistry World June 19, 2012	New US R&D site for silicones Bluestar Silicones has just opened a new R&D center in South Carolina. The company, part of chemical group China National Bluestar, says it is aiming to become 'a significant player in the silicones industry' by doubling sales over the next five years.
Chemistry World June 19, 2012 Anthony King	Nanoparticles linked to rheumatoid arthritis Three types of nanoparticles were found to ramp up protein citrullination in cell cultures, a change that can make the body think native proteins are foreign. This process has previously been linked to autoimmune disease.
Chemistry World June 18, 2012 Paul Yates	Maths for all 17 Equations That Changed the World by Ian Stewart is one of those books that might not immediately attract the attention of chemists, but which on closer inspection does contain much material that is relevant to the discipline.
