Chemistry World September 6, 2012 Elinor Hughes	A uniform junction for uniform nanotubes In a bid to make structurally uniform carbon nanotubes for applications in optoelectronics, for example, and following on from work done to make uniform carbon nanoring sidewalls, scientists in Japan have now made a uniform junction unit for branched carbon nanotubes.
Chemistry World September 5, 2012 Hayley Birch	Tougher hydrogels to rival rubber The gels, which may eventually find applications in contact lenses and tissue engineering, are 10 times tougher than cartilage and can stretch to 20 times their original length without suffering permanent damage.
Chemistry World September 5, 2012 Elinor Hughes	Fruit juice infused chocolate to reduce fat consumption Fruit juice has been used by scientists in the UK to replace up to half of the fat content from cocoa butter and milk fats in milk and white chocolate.
Chemistry World September 5, 2012 Matthew Turnbull	The science and history of alcohol Alcohol and Its Role in the Evolution of Human Society by Ian Hornsey, covers an immense amount of ground for readers unfamiliar with the fundamentals of brewing technology, metabolic pathways and plant biology.
Chemistry World September 4, 2012 Josh Howgego	Helping hand for Van Gogh conservators Art conservators have received a helping hand from chemists in dealing with a mysterious grey crust appearing on a painting by Vincent Van Gogh.
Chemistry World September 4, 2012 Derek Lowe	Light in the Lab We organic chemists do terrible things to our molecules. How about dissolving the starting materials up in a flask, shining a light into the mixture and coming back later to find it transformed into your product? That's photochemistry.
Chemistry World September 3, 2012 Laura Howes	Beating shoe smells with crab shells Portuguese researchers are working to make anti-microbial shoes by treating leather with a modified chemical from crab shells.
Chemistry World September 3, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Joining the unjoinable German researchers have developed a method for sticking together two of the most non-stick polymers known. Adding spiky nanoparticles between layers of Teflon and silicone bonds the layers together.
Chemistry World August 31, 2012	New gel to repair damaged discs UK researchers have developed an injectable microgel that can completely restore the mechanical function of damaged spinal discs -- at least in an animal model.
Chemistry World August 31, 2012 Rebecca Brodie	Moving microrobots with bubbles Microrobots smaller than the width of a human hair have been directed to assemble patterns made of single yeast cells and cell-laden agarose microgels using cavitation bubbles by a team from Hawaii. The robots could be used to push cells together to grow artificial tissue.
