Chemistry World July 6, 2012 Laura Howes	Mobius molecules with a twist Glasgow-based chemists have managed to make a chiral molecule from achiral starting materials by using a simple Mo 4O 8 unit to introduce a twist to the cluster and turn it into a Mobius strip.
Chemistry World July 6, 2012 Steve Down	Flu fighters are wired Scientists from Peking University and the University of Science and Technology, Beijing, China, have devised a test which uses a biosensor made from a grid of silicon nanowires which have been functionalized with influenza A antibodies to trap proteins from the virus.
Chemistry World July 6, 2012	Protein power Tom Muir, professor of chemistry and molecular biology, Princeton University, US, is an expert in protein engineering and its application to studying cellular signalling networks.
Chemistry World July 5, 2012 Rebecca Trager	US vulnerable to a shortage of critical isotopes Significant weaknesses in how the US Department of Energy manages its isotope program could leave the country vulnerable to surprise shortages, an investigation launched by legislators a year ago concludes.
Chemistry World July 3, 2012 Simon Perks	Ultrafast transistors created in a vacuum Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, US, have come up with a new type of transistor that uses a vacuum to conduct electrons a hundred times faster than the conventional solid-state version.
Chemistry World July 3, 2012 Philip Robinson	Triazine boosts polymer energy storage A team of scientists from Germany and Japan have presented a new principle for storing energy in lithium ion batteries using a porous polymer framework. This could give these new batteries double the energy storage of conventional lithium ion batteries.
Chemistry World July 3, 2012 Duncan Browne	Chemistry on your iPhone Sanros: Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis by Laszlo Kurti and Barbara Czako, a favorite organic synthesis textbook, is now available as an iPhone app.
Chemistry World July 2, 2012 Elinor Hughes	Why some metal hip replacements fail An investigation into why metal-on-metal hip joints fail long before other types of joints, such as metal-on-polyethylene and ceramic-on-ceramic, has revealed how the metal particles shed by the joints grinding against each other damage surrounding cells.
Chemistry World July 2, 2012 Bibiana Campos Seijo	It's not all about winning Our 'Chemistry and the Olympics' feature, looks into the vital role chemistry will play during the Olympic games, in particular in relation to the work of the anti-doping labs and the science behind sports drinks and swimsuits.
Chemistry World July 2, 2012 Philip Ball	Imaging icons To celebrate the London 2012 Olympics, David Fox and Anish Mistry at the University of Warwick, UK, synthesised olympicene -- a polyaromatic hydrocarbon of five fused rings.
