Chemistry World February 19, 2013 Ian Farrell	Analyzing bacterial metabolites A mass-spectrometry technique that can characterize and spatially resolve the metabolites produced by bacteria could lead to a better understanding of how different microbes interact with each other, and how their chemistry could be harnessed industrially.
Chemistry World February 19, 2013 Andy Extance	Insulator pile shows solar potential Stacks of insulating transition metal oxides could effectively convert sunlight into electricity. A team in Austria, has calculated that layering LaVO 3 on a SrTiO 3 base could also deliver advantages conventional semiconductors can't.
Chemistry World February 17, 2013 Patrick Walter	Is BPA just an 'innocent bystander' Question marks have been raised over whether the levels of bisphenol A that people are routinely exposed to are high enough to cause the diseases that have been linked to the controversial chemical.
Chemistry World February 17, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Enzyme nano-parcels sober up drunken mice Scientists in the US and China have invented a way to encapsulate teams of enzymes in a thin polymer shell. This enables the enzymes to carry out a series of sequential reactions within an enclosed space -- as happens in nature.
Chemistry World February 14, 2013 James Urquhart	Chemical velcro sticks underwater South Korean scientists have developed a chemical velcro that shows promise as a strong and reversible underwater adhesive.
Chemistry World February 12, 2013 Andrew Turley	Ozone device for food packaging A university spinout in the UK has developed a sterilization device that uses plasma to create ozone inside sealed packaging.
Chemistry World February 13, 2013 Michael Parkin	Bone-repairing nanoparticles laced with DNA A bone-repairing nanoparticle paste has been developed that promises faster repair of fractures and breakages. DNA containing two growth-factor genes is encapsulated inside synthetic calcium-phosphate nanoparticles.
Chemistry World February 13, 2013 James Mitchell Crow	Tapping proton power for enantioselective synthesis A simple proton is the key to a novel approach by US-based chemists to synthesize chiral amines and alcohols -- a structural motif common to many organic molecules with pharmaceutical promise.
Chemistry World February 12, 2013 Philip Ball	Water structure controversy laid to rest? A controversy about the structure of liquid water that has raged for almost a decade may be laid to rest by a new computational study.
Chemistry World February 12, 2013 Laura Howes	Biosynthesis of methylmercury discovered It's been acknowledged for years that methylmercury is produced by microorganisms far down the food chain, but what has not been known is how they do it.
