Chemistry World July 10, 2013 Laura Howes	Nanotubes grow to record lengths Chinese scientists at Tsinghua University in Beijing have managed to grow a carbon nanotube that is just over half a meter long -- over double their previous best.
Chemistry World July 10, 2013 Marie Cote	Never shut down another person's ideas Vy Dong is a professor at the University of California at Irvine, US. Her group investigates better tools for organic synthesis, including new reagents, catalysts and strategies.
Chemistry World July 9, 2013 Daniel Johnson	Stealthy nanoparticles gather to take on tumors A team of Chinese scientists have created nanoparticles that respond to changes in pH, clumping together in acidic conditions.
Chemistry World July 9, 2013 Jennifer Newton	Technicolor pKa indicator Scientists in Japan have shown that a dye can present more than five different colors according to the acidity of the solution it is in and can be used to visualize acid -- base equilibria in non-polar solvents.
Chemistry World July 9, 2013 Katherine Haxton	Dendrimers, dendrons and dendritic polymers This book, by Tomalia and others, some of the leaders in the field, offers an excellent introduction to the diversity of dendrimer chemistry.
Chemistry World July 8, 2013 Philip Ball	Solvent traffic responsible for electron gridlock Electron transfer is common in biochemistry, electrochemistry and redox reactions, but isn't fully understood. New research now shows that the rate at which an electron leaves its parent atom may be at the mercy of the solvent.
Chemistry World July 7, 2013 Anthony King	Green graphene band-aid Scientists have revealed that graphene kills bacteria by slicing through their membranes and yanking out their phospholipids. They say graphene could become a new type of 'green' antimicrobial material for everyday use.
Chemistry World July 5, 2013 Jessica Cocker	Protein analysis unlocks museum mysteries Researchers in the US and UK have shown that peptide mass fingerprinting can be used to determine the animal species of collagen-based materials in a diverse range of museum objects.
Chemistry World July 5, 2013 Philip Ball	A self-assembled periodic table Efforts to rationalize other aspects of chemistry into periodic table analogues come with a degree of baggage.
Chemistry World July 5, 2013 Andre Cobb	Principles of asymmetric synthesis (2nd edition) The first edition of this book in 1996, by Bob Gawley and Jeff Aube was one of the essential texts for chemists aspiring to understand the fundamentals of constructing stereochemically pure molecules.
