Chemistry World July 23, 2012 Jennifer Newton	Delivering insulin in a skin cream Scientists in Japan have developed a way to administer insulin to patients through the skin.
Chemistry World July 23, 2012 Melissae Fellet	RNA wrapper protects small molecules Step aside benzene rings, there's a new protecting group in town. Dutch researchers have used a strand of RNA to cover portions of a complex small molecule. They then chemically modified a portion of the molecule not covered by the RNA.
Chemistry World July 23, 2012 Andrea Sella	Chattaway's spatula Frederick Chattaway British chemist (1860-1944), was a careful and painstaking explorer of the chemical world. He studied some of the most dangerous compounds known, and was prepared to drop academic security for something more interesting.
Chemistry World July 20, 2012 Simon Hadlington	New type of chemical bond around dwarf stars The work, led by Trygve Helgaker at the University of Oslo in Norway, not only provides insights into fundamental aspects of electronic interactions with magnetic fields, but also sheds light on the exotic chemistry that exists in stellar environments.
Chemistry World July 20, 2012 Michael Parkin	New supramolecular Alzheimer's drugs Supramolecular chemistry could provide a new avenue in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, say scientists in China.
Chemistry World July 19, 2012 Laura Howes	Redox chemistry behind dragonfly romance Ryo Futahashi at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan, has now shown that that color change in dragonflies is down to simple reduction chemistry.
Chemistry World July 19, 2012 Helen Gray	MOF gate opens selective CO2 gas storage door UK researchers have designed a metal -- organic framework that, unusually, selectively adsorbs CO 2 over ethyne by a dynamic gate-opening mechanism and has potential applications in fuel gas separation.
Chemistry World July 19, 2012 Hayley Birch	Ocean fertilization shows carbon sequestration promise New data from iron fertilization experiments in the Southern Ocean support the idea that artificially created algal blooms can draw carbon to the bottom of the ocean, where it may be stored for centuries.
Chemistry World July 19, 2012 Rebecca Trager	US bans BPA in baby bottles The US Food and Drug Administration's ban on the use of bisphenol A in baby bottles and children's sippy cups is being celebrated by industry and environmental groups, but many stakeholders are calling it too little too late.
Chemistry World July 19, 2012 Alexander Archibald	Chemistry in the atmosphere The Mechanisms of Atmospheric Oxidation of the Oxygenates by Calvert et al. is the fourth in a series dedicated to detailing the mechanisms of oxidation of volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere.
