Chemistry World November 18, 2012 Simon Hadlington	C-O bond stretched to record length Chemists in the US have stretched the C-O bond to a record length, an 'extraordinary' 1.622 angstroms, compared with a typical length of around 1.43 angstroms in ethers.
Chemistry World November 16, 2012 Yuandi Li	(+)-Myrrhanol C made Spanish chemists have completed the stereospecific total synthesis of (+)-myrrhanol C. This compound is a natural triterpene isolated from mastic gum, a substance well known for its medicinal properties as well as use in various cuisines.
Chemistry World November 16, 2012 Vibhuti Patel	Keeping science in the family Robin McCarley is professor of chemistry at Louisiana State University, US. His research spans liposome systems, surface chemistry, polymer chemistry, nanoscience and bioanalytical/physical chemistry.
Chemistry World November 15, 2012 David Bradley	DNA folds up into a synthetic ion channel An artificial ion channel that spans a synthetic lipid membrane has been created using DNA origami by researchers in Germany and the US.
Chemistry World November 15, 2012 Laura Howes	Imperial launches second phenome centre Imperial College London, UK, is launching a new clinical phenome center at St Mary's Hospital London, to analyze the phenotypes of patient's samples. The phenotype includes all external products of genes and environment, from hair colour to chemical markers of disease states.
Chemistry World November 15, 2012 Harriet Gould	Is organic really organic? John Emsley's Islington Green: A Book of Revelation, should serve as an educational gem for the young, inexperienced chemist, as well as a useful tool to aid anyone's debate as to whether organic is best.
Chemistry World November 14, 2012 Jon Evans	Chemistry goes into the field to battle metal theft Forensic marker technology developed in the UK is leading the charge against metal theft, which is estimated to cost the country around 770 million pounds a year.
Chemistry World November 14, 2012 Helen Potter	Uncovering the secrets of tea Everyone knows that a cup of tea is good for you, but the exact reasons for this are not clear. To discover the fundamentals of tea's health benefits, scientists in Germany have investigated the interactions of compounds from tea with cells on a molecular level.
Chemistry World November 13, 2012 Rachel Cooper	Detecting cancer cells and parasites Scientists in Denmark have designed a new sensor to detect cells that over-express folate receptors, including cancer cells. The sensor consists of an electrochemical platform composed of graphene and peptide nanotubes with folic acid.
Chemistry World November 13, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Calculations correct natural product structure US chemists have used NMR prediction calculations to correct the structure of a complex natural product, aquatolide. The work emphasises the power of this burgeoning technique to challenge and inform experimental structure determination.
