Chemistry World July 31, 2012 Fiona McKenzie	Sorting the good from the bad US scientists have found a way to separate cancerous cells from healthy cells by taking advantage of their adhesion properties. Separating cancer cells for analysis is a critical step for determining the recommended course of treatment for patients.
Chemistry World July 30, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Flexible hairy heartbeat sensor Korean scientists have developed a skin-like flexible strain sensor made from interlocking forests of nanofibers.
Chemistry World July 27, 2012 Samantha Cheung	A sweeter approach to sugar synthesis Sugar chemists have developed a highly efficient synthetic pathway to produce a variety of oligosaccharides from scratch.
Chemistry World July 27, 2012 Paul Docherty	Marinomycin A Faced with the term 'polymer', most people would consider man-made materials, primarily plastics as typical examples. However, as in so many cases, nature was ahead of chemists, as oligomeric and polymeric materials abound in life.
Chemistry World July 25, 2012 Nina Notman	Tracking Chemical Changes in the Brain New insight into how deep brain stimulation works could improve treatments for neurological diseases.
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 Jon Evans	Attack of the cyborg jellyfish It may sound like the plot of a low-budget movie, but US scientists have created tiny, half-biological, half-synthetic jellyfish that can swim and even feed just like real jellyfish.
Chemistry World July 23, 2012 Jennifer Newton	Delivering insulin in a skin cream Scientists in Japan have developed a way to administer insulin to patients through the skin.
Chemistry World July 23, 2012 Melissae Fellet	RNA wrapper protects small molecules Step aside benzene rings, there's a new protecting group in town. Dutch researchers have used a strand of RNA to cover portions of a complex small molecule. They then chemically modified a portion of the molecule not covered by the RNA.
Chemistry World July 20, 2012 Michael Parkin	New supramolecular Alzheimer's drugs Supramolecular chemistry could provide a new avenue in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, say scientists in China.
