Chemistry World August 24, 2012 Andy Extance	Inert nanoshells succumb to iron will US chemists have made silica nanoshells susceptible to breakdown by proteins in our bodies, which should make them safer for drug delivery and medical imaging applications.
Chemistry World August 23, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Synthetic platelet helpers set to save lives Nanoparticles that can stop internal bleeding have been developed by scientists in the US.
Chemistry World August 23, 2012 Andrew Turley	Flight fuelled by plastic waste An Irish company that converts plastic waste into liquid fuel has sponsored a flight from London to Sydney to test its product for aviation applications.
Chemistry World August 23, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Setback for fool's gold photovoltaics Extensive tests by US researchers on nanocrystals of the pyrite phase of iron sulfide -- also known as fool's gold -- suggest that the material is unlikely to be a good candidate for photovoltaic applications, contrary to some predictions.
Chemistry World August 23, 2012 Yuandi Li	Reversible photoswitch a boost for molecular electronics A team of international scientists has made a photocontrollable device, which, they say, shows potential for application in nanocircuits and helps the understanding of electrical conduction in molecular electronics.
Chemistry World August 22, 2012 James Urquhart	Turning wastewater into food German researchers have developed an efficient and environmentally friendly process to recover phosphate from wastewater for use in fertilizer.
Chemistry World August 22, 2012 Alisa Becker	Trojan horse tuberculosis treatment The emergence of drug resistant bacterial strains has led to an urgent need for new antibiotic agents. Scientists in the US are utilizing the iron uptake pathway of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as a 'Trojan horse' approach to tuberculosis treatment.
Chemistry World August 22, 2012 Philip Ball	The automatic chemist Bartosz Grzybowski of Northwestern University -- who has already established himself as one of our most inventive chemists -- has unveiled a 'chemo-informatic' scheme, Chematica, that can stake a reasonable claim to being paradigm-changing.
Chemistry World August 21, 2012 James Mitchell Crow	Watching single nanoparticles work By shining laser light on the modified tip of an atomic force microscope), researchers in Germany and the Netherlands have been able to watch a catalytic reaction in real time, zoomed right in to the nanoscale.
Chemistry World August 21, 2012 Simon Perks	Popcorn flavoring presents worker risk A butter flavoring used in the production of microwave popcorn could be a respiratory hazard to workers and could even alter gene expression in the brain.
