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.
Chemistry World February 28, 2013 Andy Extance	Chemical transport defines 'Goldilocks' cell size A US team has suggested molecular movement as an answer to the question of why cells are the size they are. A question that they say 'still awaits an answer from first principles'.
Chemistry World February 28, 2013 Paul Docherty	Lyconadin A Since its isolation from the clubmoss Lycopodium complanatum in 2001, lyconadina A has been party to three total syntheses. All that interest stems from anti-Alzheimer's activity attributed to the lycopodium family.
Chemistry World February 27, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Supercharging methanol for fuel cells Scientists in Germany and Italy have discovered a way to derive hydrogen gas from methanol at low temperatures and pressures using soluble ruthenium-based 'pincer' catalysts.
