Chemistry World February 5, 2013 James Urquhart	Sea urchin inspires carbon capture catalyst UK scientists have taken inspiration from the sea urchin and shown how nickel nanoparticles could be a cheap and re-usable catalyst in a key step for capturing carbon dioxide produced by power plants and the chemical industry.
Chemistry World February 3, 2013 Andy Extance	Enzyme draws nanopore protein sequencing nearer US scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have made a key step towards nanopore protein sequencing, thanks to an 'unfoldase' enzyme. Mark Akeson's team exploited this enzyme to unravel proteins and pull them through nanopores.
Chemistry World January 31, 2013 Phillip Broadwith	Funding council backs doctoral training centers with 350m pounds. The UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has announced that it will invest 350 million pounds in a second generation of Centers for Doctoral Training aligned towards priority areas of research.
Chemistry World January 31, 2013 Andrew Turley	DCD in New Zealand milk New Zealand has been struck with a food contamination scare: laboratry tests have revealed traces of dicyandiamide in milk, one of the country's most prized exports.
Chemistry World January 31, 2013 Lucy Gilbert	Sunscreen patches for wounded skin Scientists in France have made a water-resistant latex film loaded with a UVB filter that could be applied as a thick, uniform layer of sunscreen to wounded skin, which is more susceptible to UV damage.
Chemistry World January 30, 2013 Philip Robinson	NMR with a light touch Interactions between NMR-active nuclei in a sample and laser light could lead to a new, simpler form of NMR.
Chemistry World January 29, 2013 Anthony King	Pesticides can kill frogs in hours Frogs exposed to pesticides at the kind of levels routinely sprayed on farm fields can die in hours, a new study from German and Swiss scientists report.
Chemistry World January 29, 2013 Patrick Walter	Graphene hits the funding jackpot Graphene, the atom-thick layer of carbon, is one of two big winners to emerge from the European commission's future and emerging technologies competition. The other big winner was the human brain project.
Chemistry World January 29, 2013 Laura Howes	Paper crane to carbon electrode Christina Giordano's lab at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Germany, has been working on making structured carbon electrodes from paper using inkjet printing.
Chemistry World January 28, 2013 Philip Ball	Controversial theory of smell given a boost Humans can smell the difference between ordinary and deuterated organic odorant molecules, according to a new study. Provided that a sufficient number of hydrogen atoms in the molecules are replaced by deuterium, their differing smells are relatively easily detected by most people.
