Chemistry World December 11, 2012 Elinor Hughes	Worried about food allergens? There's an app for that Building on their work on a mobile phone -- or cell phone -- app to detect bacteria, US scientists have now adapted the technology to detect allergens in foods.
Chemistry World December 11, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Seeing the helix of DNA Italian scientists have developed a technique to improve the contrast of electron microscopy images of DNA fibers.
Chemistry World December 10, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Platinum plating at the flick of a switch Atom thick catalytic layers of platinum can be deposited on surfaces from solution rapidly and cheaply thanks to a new technique developed by US scientists.
Chemistry World December 10, 2012 Paul Nancarrow	A fresh approach Morton Denn, author of Chemical Engineering: An Introduction, has successfully written a modern and concise book on this topic.
Chemistry World December 7, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Striped nanoparticle controversy blows up A prickly controversy has erupted in the rarefied world of nanoscience revolving around the strength of the evidence that molecules can assemble themselves into discrete stripes around gold nanoparticles. The issue highlights the difficulty of interpreting images of nanoscale objects.
Chemistry World December 7, 2012 Laura Howes	Spray and peel forensic sampling Forensic sampling of surfaces currently relies on a wipe with a cotton gauze but there are concerns about cross contamination and the loss of certain organic compounds.
Chemistry World December 7, 2012 Lucy Gilbert	Bactericides reach new depths Scientists in the US and China have come up with a low-risk treatment for bacterial infections in a deep wound.
Chemistry World December 7, 2012 James Urquhart	Curiosity detect hints of complex organics Nasa's Curiosity rover has detected a range of chemical species including chlorinated hydrocarbons on the surface of Mars -- indicators that point to the presence of complex organic molecules.
Chemistry World December 7, 2012 Ann Dixon	Biochemistry Essentials of Biochemistry by Herbert Fromm and Mark Hargrove, is aimed at undergraduate chemistry and biochemistry students with a specific interest in the subjects of cellular metabolism and enzyme reaction mechanisms.
Chemistry World December 6, 2012 Elinor Hughes	Stopping endocrine disruptors in their tracks US scientists have come up with a system to assess whether chemists' latest synthetic product is an endocrine disruptor -- a chemical that interferes with hormone regulation in animals and humans.
