Chemistry World October 26, 2012 Rachel Cooper	Determining sex from a fingerprint Peptides naturally present in sweat are distinctive for one sex or the other. The ability to determine the sex of an individual from fingermarks left at crime scenes advances our current understanding of the limits of the forensic usefulness of fingermarks.
Chemistry World October 26, 2012 Andy Extance	Molecular muscle machines bulk up French researchers have made the longest molecular machines that can be shrunk on demand in a collective motion that emulate muscle fibers.
Chemistry World October 25, 2012 Ailsa Benton	Continuous flow Flow Analysis with Spectrophotometric and Luminometric Detection by Elias Zagatto and others is a very useful practical reference text, which will be relatively timeless in its applicability to continuous flow research.
Chemistry World October 24, 2012	Less is more for DNA reactions A technique allowing the use of small amounts of DNA for efficient DNA-directed chemistry has been developed by scientists in Germany.
Chemistry World October 24, 2012	Delving deeper in the Hall of the Kings A portable and non-invasive technique to study and characterize pigments in ancient architecture has been developed by scientists in Spain.
Chemistry World October 23, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Multiple insecticides are bad news for bumblebees Colonies of bees were exposed to two classes of insecticide and observed for several weeks. Long-term exposure to the two insecticides had a significant impact on the colonies.
Chemistry World October 23, 2012 Amy Middleton-Gear	Plant power! To combat our reliance on fossil fuels, US scientists have discovered a new route for turning the carbohydrate cellulose -- the most abundant organic molecule on Earth -- into 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural, a promising precursor molecule to alternative fuels.
Chemistry World October 23, 2012 Clive Thompson	Analytical method validation Handbook of Analytical Validation by Michael Swartz and Ira Krull should be an integral part of drug and biotechnology laboratories for both training staff and for comprehensive advice on how to deal with a very wide range of specific issues relating to AMV.
Chemistry World October 22, 2012 Yuandi Li	Mustard plant can hold nerve agent secrets UK scientists have shown that plants can be used to detect nerve agents.
Chemistry World October 21, 2012 Nina Notman	Haber-Bosch power consumption slashed A new type of ruthenium catalyst could reduce the power consumption of ammonia production, claim Japanese scientists.
