Chemistry World September 18, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Caffeine crystals with an elastic bent Indian chemists have discovered a highly elastic but crystalline material made from caffeine. The crystals maintain their elasticity down to -100 C.
Chemistry World September 17, 2012 Ian Le Guillou	Raising the curtain on single-stranded DNA Scientists have created microfluidic devices containing single-stranded DNA 'curtains' for the first time, allowing scientists to study its interactions with proteins in real time.
Chemistry World September 14, 2012 Laura Howes	TNT for top guns It might seem counterintuitive but one way of making decoy flares for fighter planes better and safer is to make them out of TNT, say European scientists.
Chemistry World September 14, 2012 Vibhuti Patel	The road less travelled Professor Jayne Garno says people typically associate the synthesis of new molecules with chemistry, but it is also interesting to study how molecules bind to each other and how you can control surface binding.
Chemistry World September 13, 2012 Laura Howes	Sponges to mop up marine methane It may seem like the story from a children's cartoon, but Chinese scientist's claim that their sponge could suck up methane from the oceans, helping fight climate change and providing a new energy source at the same time.
Chemistry World September 13, 2012 Ian Le guillou	Fluorination via porphyrin A manganese porphyrin has been used to selectively fluorinate sp 3 carbon -- hydrogen bonds using silver fluoride as a source of fluorine.
Chemistry World September 13, 2012 Philip Ball	Bright idea to probe bond order The order of multiple bonds can be uncovered using atomic force microscopy, according to Leo Gross of IBM Research in Zurich and his co-workers.
Chemistry World September 13, 2012 Andy Merritt	Chemical biology comes of age Historically strongest in the US, chemical biology has become increasingly important worldwide, but for many years researchers at the chemistry -- biology interface have struggled to establish their discipline
Chemistry World September 13, 2012 Bill Griffith	A pivotal early chemist Inventing chemistry -- Herman Boerhaave and the reform of the chemical arts by John Powers, is a lucid, closely argued book and a considerable work of scholarship.
Chemistry World September 12, 2012 Jon Evans	Drawing maps to hunt for biological gold Pharmaceutical companies should pay more attention to traditional medicine, say UK researchers. This follows their discovery that genetically-similar plants have traditionally been used to treat the same conditions in widely separated parts of the world.
