Chemistry World February 28, 2013 Andy Extance	Chemical transport defines 'Goldilocks' cell size A US team has suggested molecular movement as an answer to the question of why cells are the size they are. A question that they say 'still awaits an answer from first principles'.
Chemistry World February 28, 2013 Paul Docherty	Lyconadin A Since its isolation from the clubmoss Lycopodium complanatum in 2001, lyconadina A has been party to three total syntheses. All that interest stems from anti-Alzheimer's activity attributed to the lycopodium family.
Chemistry World February 27, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Supercharging methanol for fuel cells Scientists in Germany and Italy have discovered a way to derive hydrogen gas from methanol at low temperatures and pressures using soluble ruthenium-based 'pincer' catalysts.
Chemistry World February 27, 2013 John Blacker	Practical process research and development In the foreword to Neal Anderson's second edition of Practical Process Research and Development, Trevor Laird states that, in his opinion, this is the best book on process chemistry.
Chemistry World February 26, 2013 Holly Sheahan	Capturing the potential of carbon dioxide A team of researchers from the University of Bath have opened up the idea of using carbon dioxide as a useful potential feedstock; a useful chemical resource rather than a troublesome waste product.
Chemistry World February 25, 2013 REbecca Trager	Endocrine disrupting chemicals under fire Common synthetic chemicals suspected of disrupting the hormone system could be responsible for serious health problems, warns a report released by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Environmental Program.
Chemistry World February 25, 2013 Jon Cartwright	Crystals of polystyrene Chemists in Japan and Italy have created a polymer-based material that has a crystalline structure. The material, which achieves its crystallinity with crosslinks between its polymer chains, is expected to have a high mechanical strength.
Chemistry World February 22, 2013 Andy Extance	Time slicing captures molecular birth pictures French, Korean and Danish researchers say that they have seen iodine molecules form in the most detail yet.
Chemistry World February 22, 2013 Sarah Farley	Electronic tongue develops a taste for brandy A team of Spanish scientists is set to replace the human palette with an electronic tongue that classifies brandy according to taste, and can even discriminate between aging methods.
Chemistry World February 22, 2013 Anthony King	LED triggers microfluidic mixing French scientists have developed a way to mix fluids in microfluidic devices using light from an external LED as a trigger. The strategy is simple but offers good control over mixing without complex components.
