Chemistry World June 27, 2013 Alwyn Davies	The Choshu five Chemists will be familiar with Alexander Williamson's contribution to chemistry in discovering the Williamson reaction, but few will be aware that he played a leading role in Japan's conversion from an isolated, industrially backward country to an open one.
Chemistry World June 26, 2013 Andria Nicodemou	Date rape drug sensor The first fluorescent sensor for known date rape drug gamma-butyrolactone has been developed in Singapore. It emits orange fluorescence in alcoholic drinks containing GBL when irradiated with a green laser.
Chemistry World June 26, 2013 Emma Stoye	Glucose-sensing contact lens could run on power of tears Diabetics could one day be able to monitor their blood sugar levels using bionic contact lenses. Researchers have developed a fuel cell that runs on tears, which they say could power lens-mounted glucose sensors.
Chemistry World June 25, 2013 Phillip Broadwith	Porous materials break out of covalent cage Porous materials made from small molecular cages, rather than rigidly bonded frameworks, could be easier to process and have more tunable performance, say UK researchers.
Chemistry World June 25, 2013 Laura Howes	Van der Waals forces between atoms measured Lucas Beguin and co-workers at the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Palaiseau, France, however, have developed a new way of measuring these forces.
Chemistry World June 25, 2013	Press P to print Much of the headline-grabbing scientific 3D printing has been in biotechnology, where body parts have been printed using biological polymers. But why stop at replacement body parts? Why not go beyond biology and use 3D printing to enhance the human body?
Chemistry World June 24, 2013 Emma Stoye	Miniature battery a first for 3D printing Researchers in the US have created a lithium-ion battery the size of a grain of sand, the first to be manufactured by 3D printing.
Chemistry World June 24, 2013 Matthew Smith	Human enamel mimic whitens teeth Fluorapatite, polyethylene oxide and a polymer derived from the neurotoxin acrylamide have been combined by Chinese scientists to make a film that can restore teeth to their natural color.
Chemistry World June 24, 2013 Mark Peplow	Fear and loathing The fact is that some chemicals in our environment can cause adverse health effects. That presents people with a huge dilemma: how much evidence is needed before worries about exposure to a particular chemical become rational?
Chemistry World June 19, 2013 John Hayward	Science of synthesis workbench edition: water in organic synthesis If a chemist is looking to do chemistry in (or on) water at the bench, Water in organic synthesis by Shu Kobayashi will be their guide.
