Chemistry World March 14, 2013 Bill Griffith	Sir James Dewar, 1842-1923 -- a ruthless chemist This book, by John Rowlinson, should interest both chemists and historians, and will surely remain the standard biography of a remarkable man.
Chemistry World March 13, 2013 Andy Extance	University cleared, student recovering after poisoning The University of Southampton has told Chemistry World that a chemistry student poisoned last October was not exposed by accident or contamination on its premises. Malicious poisoning remains a possible explanation.
Chemistry World March 13, 2013 Jennifer Newton	Removing toxic chemicals with POPs In a search for alternatives to the filters used in gas masks, researchers at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, have joined forces with scientists at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center, Maryland, to investigate a series of porous organic polymers bearing metal-catecholate groups.
Chemistry World March 13, 2013	Deadly mushroom chemistry Can you tell the difference between a tasty paddy straw mushroom and a toxic death cap? Emma Shiells talks to the experts about the potentially deadly chemistry hidden in those gills
Chemistry World March 8, 2013 Laura Howes	New definition for supramolecular chemistry Gerardo Odriozola and Marcelo Lozada-Cassou of the Mexican Petroleum Institute decided to use statistical mechanics to try and define the physical basis for the mechanism, comparing their findings with experimental data.
Chemistry World March 12, 2013 Andy Extance	'Plasmonic smart dust' conjures kinetics clues Researchers exploited gold's ability to trap and concentrate light, creating oscillations in the electron cloud at its surface called surface plasmons.
Chemistry World March 8, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Battleground develops over antibiotic killing mechanism Two recent papers will require many in the field to re-examine and re-open the question of whether or not several different classes of bactericidal antibiotics do or do not work through a common mechanism.
Chemistry World March 8, 2013 Yuandi Li	High-capacity MOF shows clean fuel promise Scientists in Evanston, Illinois, and in Gaithersburg, Maryland have synthesized a metal organic framework in gram-scale quantities that has 67% of the deliverable storage density of gas cylinders, but at only a quarter of the pressure.
Chemistry World March 8, 2013 Victor Chechik	Handbook of less common nanostructures The book by Kharisov et al. starts with a critical discussion of nanostructure synthesis. This concise description is very valuable and will be of use to any scientist working with nanomaterials.
Chemistry World March 7, 2013 James Urquhart	Recycling electronics with dimethyl sulfoxide Chinese researchers have developed a simple and environmentally friendly method to salvage the materials found in waste printed circuits boards using the solvent dimethyl sulfoxide.
