Chemistry World March 7, 2013 Manisha Lalloo	Elusive water dimer detected at last Water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, with a crucial role in the radiative and chemical processes taking place on Earth. Scientists have long debated the presence of water dimers.
Chemistry World March 7, 2013 Paul Illing	Is lead linked to violence? Recent articles are part of a spate of media interest in claims that a relationship exists between tetraethyl lead in petrol and violent crime. But is it true?
Chemistry World March 6, 2013 Jon Evans	Data challenges for UK chemists Academic chemists in the UK have a problem with data. That's the claim made by a report that says that both in terms of managing and sharing data produced by their own laboratories and accessing data produced by others, chemists are all at sea.
Chemistry World March 6, 2013 Ian Farrell	How healthy is your breath? Breath analysis for healthcare is a hot topic, with the ultimate goal being a device that can identify an illness from a single breath at your doctor's office. Although this is still some way off, breath chemistry is used currently to monitor some conditions.
Chemistry World March 6, 2013 Michal Leskes	Solid state NMR: basic principles & practice This book by Apperley et al., first considers different types of solids and their properties, followed by a detailed survey of the main NMR interactions and phenomena that govern the spectra.
Chemistry World March 5, 2013 Amy Middleton-Gear	Blink and you'll miss it Scientists in Germany have developed a new method for tracking single fluorescent molecules, using linear programming solvers.
Chemistry World March 4, 2013 Harriet Brewerton	Co-factoring on a chip makes biocatalysis easy Stephan Mohr and colleagues have designed an efficient microfluidic biocatalysis device that uses and regenerates an artificial mediator, dimethyl viologen, which is cheaper than co-factors used currently.
Chemistry World March 4, 2013 David Bradley	Microbial mobilization may offer arsenic solution Contamination of groundwater by naturally occurring arsenic salts has been an insidious environmental problem affecting millions of people across the Indian sub-continent for decades.
Chemistry World March 3, 2013 James Urquhart	Polymer production line runs on DNA US researchers have developed a purely chemical and enzyme-free system that can build synthetic polymers using DNA as a template.
Chemistry World March 1, 2013 Andrea Sella	Castner's electrode Hamilton Castner was a US chemist (1858 -- 1899) and inventor of processes to make cheap sodium and hence aluminium. It can be argued that Castner's electrode marks the moment when carbon began to be considered as a structural material.
