Chemistry World November 18, 2015 Rebecca Trager	Early lead exposure linked to sleep problems Lead exposure in early childhood is associated with increased risk for sleep problems and excessive daytime sleepiness in later childhood, according to research from the University of Pennsylvania.
Chemistry World November 18, 2015 Nelly Berg	A bright future for silicon solar cell recycling South Korean scientists have developed a sustainable process to reclaim silicon wafers from old solar panels and used the salvaged silicon to build new solar cells.
Chemistry World November 17, 2015 Emma Stoye	Magnetic 'compass' protein found in fruit flies The rod-shaped protein can align with a magnetic field, and forms a complex with light-sensitive cryptochrome proteins, which scientists have long suspected may be involved in magnetoreception.
Chemistry World November 17, 2015 Rebecca Trager	Carbon dioxide leak at US coffee plant prompts federal probe A US federal investigation has been launched after a carbon dioxide leak at a coffee roasting and decaffeination plant in Houston, Texas, led to the death of one employee.
Chemistry World November 17, 2015 Phillip Broadwith	Building better bottles Carbonated soft drink bottles consume around 20 million tons of polyethylene terephthalate a year, made using antimony catalysts. Catalytic Technologies wants to switch to a safer, more active titanium-based catalyst.
Chemistry World November 17, 2015 Matthew Gunther	Rotaxane raises the bar for self-replicating chemical systems Scientists in the UK and Malaysia have created a self-assembling rotaxane that can replicate itself. The result may lead to the development of autonomous chemical systems that mimic cellular processes.
Chemistry World November 16, 2015 Fiona Gillespie	Uncoiling collagen using advanced computers British and French researchers have used modern computing power to enhance mass spectrometry and analyze an extremely complex collagen molecule in a short time scale.
Chemistry World November 13, 2015 Kira Welter	First permanently porous liquid created Liquids with permanent porosity were created by combining a functionalized organic cage molecule and a bulky solvent
Chemistry World November 13, 2015 Cathy Sorbara	Hitching a ride on DNA In the congested intracellular environment, scientists in the Netherlands and the US have found a way for molecules to maneuver through the crowds and arrive at their destination faster.
Chemistry World November 12, 2015 Tim Wogan	Flat boron first looks promising for nano-electronics The super hard material, which was formed by two-stage chemical vapor deposition, has unusual properties for a two-dimensional material that could potentially make it very useful in nano-electronics.
