Chemistry World July 26, 2012 Cecilia Fenech	Understanding 2D NMR Organic structure determination using 2-D NMR spectroscopy: a problem-based approach by Jeffrey Simpson is a balanced text covering both theoretical and practical aspects of NMR spectroscopy.
Chemistry World July 24, 2012 Rachel Cooper	Light speeds up new cell growth Scientists from Singapore have combined a photovoltaic polymer with a biocompatible polymer to make a nanofiber-based scaffold that can grow cells for skin regeneration.
Chemistry World July 23, 2012 David Bradley	The buzz about finding new allotropes Researchers in China have homed in on possible new allotropes of carbon, silicon and germanium using a particle swarm structure search technique.
Chemistry World July 20, 2012 Simon Hadlington	New type of chemical bond around dwarf stars The work, led by Trygve Helgaker at the University of Oslo in Norway, not only provides insights into fundamental aspects of electronic interactions with magnetic fields, but also sheds light on the exotic chemistry that exists in stellar environments.
Chemistry World July 18, 2012 Catherine Bacon	pH sensor for use in the body US scientists have developed a pH sensor based on nanocrystal quantum dots designed to be used in a biological pH range.
Chemistry World July 17, 2012 Harriet Brewerton	Pinning down cancer US scientists have synthesized pin-shaped nanoparticles with magnetic and optical properties. The nanoparticles could be used for magnetic resonance imaging, early detection and photothermal therapy of cancer and other diseases.
Chemistry World July 12, 2012 Jon Evans	Why can we walk on custard? Being a mixture of cornflour and milk, with a dash of a vanilla essence, instant custard consists of a dense suspension of microscopic particles. Such suspensions are well known to harden on impact, but no one really knew why.
Chemistry World July 12, 2012 David Bradley	Homeostatic hydrogels to help heat the home Living things can take control of the physical environment in which they find themselves, monitoring and controlling their temperature, pH, various internal pressures and ion concentrations through a range of self-regulating feedback loops.
Chemistry World July 9, 2012 Jessica Cocker	Color changing paper sensor Paper with the ability to change color in response to different ions, solvents and UV irradiation has been developed by US scientists and could be used to develop faster and more stable chemical sensors.
Chemistry World July 6, 2012 Steve Down	Flu fighters are wired Scientists from Peking University and the University of Science and Technology, Beijing, China, have devised a test which uses a biosensor made from a grid of silicon nanowires which have been functionalized with influenza A antibodies to trap proteins from the virus.
