Chemistry World July 18, 2012 Laura Howes	BPA causes freaky fish flirting Fish exposed to the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A become much less choosy when courting a mate, says new research published in Evolutionary Applications.
Chemistry World July 18, 2012 Catherine Bacon	pH sensor for use in the body US scientists have developed a pH sensor based on nanocrystal quantum dots designed to be used in a biological pH range.
Chemistry World July 18, 2012 Philip Ball	Nullius in verba Purging of preconception and self-deception is what Francis Bacon called for in the 17th century when he argued that natural philosophers seeking truth must free themselves from 'idols of the mind'. But as John Ioannidis recognizes, changing mindsets isn't easy for chemists and other scientists.
Chemistry World July 17, 2012 Simon Perks	Synthetic nanozymes silence hepatitis C Researchers at the University of Florida, US, have discovered that an artificial nanoparticle complex, known as a nanozyme, can help to treat viral infections by 'shutting off' their genetic material.
Chemistry World July 17, 2012 Harriet Brewerton	Pinning down cancer US scientists have synthesized pin-shaped nanoparticles with magnetic and optical properties. The nanoparticles could be used for magnetic resonance imaging, early detection and photothermal therapy of cancer and other diseases.
Chemistry World July 16, 2012 Maria Burke	Nanosilver in Consumer Goods Under the Spotlight The use of silver nanoparticles in textiles, such as insoles and running shirts, to control unpleasant odors produced by bacteria, appears to present little danger to human health or the aquatic environment, according to a new report by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency.
Chemistry World July 16, 2012 Manisha Lalloo	'Artificial Leaf' Under the Microscope Defects at the edge of the cobalt clusters give the Nocera catalyst its water splitting properties.
Chemistry World July 16, 2012	Dramatic Science Author Carl Djerassi thinks that chemistry is poorly represented in drama and fiction because it seems to lack the appealing metaphors of mathematics or physics.
Chemistry World July 12, 2012 Jon Evans	Why can we walk on custard? Being a mixture of cornflour and milk, with a dash of a vanilla essence, instant custard consists of a dense suspension of microscopic particles. Such suspensions are well known to harden on impact, but no one really knew why.
Chemistry World July 12, 2012 David Bradley	Homeostatic hydrogels to help heat the home Living things can take control of the physical environment in which they find themselves, monitoring and controlling their temperature, pH, various internal pressures and ion concentrations through a range of self-regulating feedback loops.
