Chemistry World February 12, 2013 Daniel Read	Introduction to polymer rheology In this book, Montgomery Shaw aims to produce a readable text that covers the basics of polymer rheology, at a level accessible to a more mathematically minded chemistry undergraduate.
Chemistry World February 11, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Footfalls to power static nanogenerator Recharging your laptop battery with energy derived simply from walking has moved a step closer with new research where scientists have developed a novel generator that can produce significant amounts of electrical power from static electricity.
Chemistry World February 11, 2013 Helen Potter	A new system for cancer detection Cancer cells have been found to differ from normal cells in several ways, including the make up of their cell membranes. Cancer-cell membranes have been found to contain more anionic lipids than normal cells, leading to an overall negatively charged cell surface.
Chemistry World February 11, 2013 Philip Ball	A (chemical) potential theory of life's origin This theory says that life arose at hydrothermal vents, not merely because these provide heat and the ingredients for making complex organics but because they create sustained gradients of ion concentration.
Chemistry World February 8, 2013 Rachel Cooper	Printing crystalline drugs A group of UK chemists has used a desktop inkjet printer to prepare a metastable form of the anti-epileptic drug carbamazepine.
Chemistry World February 8, 2013 Philip Ball	Why don't nanobubbles go pop? Nanobubbles have been proposed as the origin of a long-range attraction between hydrophobic surfaces, which might have biological implications.
Chemistry World February 6, 2013 Andrew Turley	Reach reviewed: no change required Chemical regulation in the EU is working as it should be, although there is room for improvement in its implementation, according to a long-awaited review from the European commission.
Chemistry World February 6, 2013 Jennifer Newton	Electricity at your fingertips Scientists in South Korea have made a conducting polymer as part of a thin-film thermoelectric device that can generate electricity from the temperature difference between your fingertips and the environment.
Chemistry World February 6, 2013 Caryl Richards	Tetris solution to zeolite conundrum A new simulation model for assembling zeolites from simple building blocks can be used to predict the structure and feasibility of existing zeolite frameworks.
Chemistry World February 5, 2013 Cara E Sutton	'Invisible gates' trap water droplets Researchers in Japan have created a novel superhydrophobic hybrid surface that can separate water droplets sliding down it based on nothing more than their size.
