Chemistry World October 19, 2012 Baljinder Kandola	Polymer decomposition Thermal Stability of Polymers by T. R. Crompton reviews the literature on the thermal stability of various polymers using a number of analytical techniques and provides a very good initial reference for scientists.
Chemistry World October 18, 2012 Andy Extance	RNA teams up to beat selfish rivals A team from Portland State University has shown that cooperative ribozymes -- RNA enzymes -- outdo 'selfish' autocatalytic competitors for the same building blocks.
Chemistry World October 18, 2012 Jessica Cocker	Killing three parasites with one stone Scientists in the US have developed a hybrid drug that is active against malaria, schistosomiasis or hookworm.
Chemistry World October 18, 2012	A signal honor The 2012 Nobel prize in chemistry was awarded to Robert Lefkowitz and Brian Kobilka for studies of G-protein-coupled receptors. This article looks at the molecular machinery underpinning cell signaling.
Chemistry World October 16, 2012 Ian Le Guillou	Night of the living surfaces Researchers from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, have developed a film that contains penicillin-releasing fungi, which could cover work surfaces in hospitals, food preparation areas or wherever microbial contamination must be avoided.
Chemistry World October 16, 2012 Ross McLaren	The future of fashion Researchers from the Republic of Korea have developed an energy harvesting device that can be incorporated into clothing to allow the wearer to generate electricity as they move and from static build-up in their clothing.
Chemistry World October 16, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Cheers as Mars x-ray spectrometer delivers rock data Space scientists are celebrating the arrival of the first set of data from the Mars Curiosity Rover's alpha-particle x-ray spectrometer -- APXS -- which has analyzed the chemical composition of a small triangular wedge of rock on the surface of the planet.
Chemistry World October 15, 2012 Simon Hadlington	ExBox snares polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons US chemists have designed a novel macrocyclic molecule that may be able to scavenge an important class of toxic hydrocarbons from the environment.
Chemistry World October 15, 2012 Melissae Fellet	Synthesis by mass spectrometry Chemists have used mass spectrometry, commonly used to analyze molecules, to synthesize them on the microscale.
Chemistry World October 15, 2012 John Hayward	Oxidizing agents Oxidation in Organic Synthesis by V.K .Ahluwalia contains an extensive list of reagents and is of some interest as a reference resource, particularly with respect to some of the more exotic reagents.
