Chemistry World December 11, 2013 Jennifer Newton	'Google map' of a prostate UK researchers have used vibrational spectroscopy to chemically image the cross section of a prostate to such an incredible level of detail that each of the 66 million pixels in the image represents a piece of tissue only 5.5 A -- 5.5 m.
Chemistry World December 11, 2013 Jon Cartwright	Vibrations couple light to graphene Two independent groups have shown that light can be effectively turned into surface plasmons in graphene if the carbon sheet is made to vibrate.
Chemistry World December 10, 2013 Jonathan Wells	Disarming bacteria to beat infection Researchers in Germany looking to find unprecedented ways of combating bacterial infection have demonstrated that certain small molecules can reduce the ability of Staphylococcus aureus to cause disease.
Chemistry World December 10, 2013 David Bradley	Breaking the mold with recycled plastic drugs James Hedrick of the IBM Almaden Research Center, US, and colleagues have used supramolecular chemistry to self-assemble a range of polymer-like structures that display antifungal properties.
Chemistry World December 9, 2013 James Urquhart	Drug fix for misfolded proteins promises hope for incurable diseases Researchers have been looking into pharmacological chaperones or pharmacoperones. They might treat diseases brought about by genetic mutations that cause otherwise functional proteins to become misfolded or misrouted.
Chemistry World December 9, 2013 Jessica Cocker	Hydrogen breaks strong bonds with brute force A method developed by Leo Lau of Western University in Canada and colleagues can break C -- H bonds without damaging the rest of the molecule.
Chemistry World December 9, 2013 Jon Cartwright	Micromotors clean polluted water Researchers in Germany have invented micromotors that can propel themselves through water while degrading organic pollutants.
Chemistry World December 6, 2013 Anthony King	New report concludes Arafat was not poisoned French investigators have concluded that Yasser Arafat did not die from polonium poisoning. They concluded that measurements of polonium-210 taken from his exhumed body are consistent with a natural origin, ultimately from radon gas
Chemistry World December 6, 2013 Elisabeth Ratcliffe	Self-defending seeds A two-layered protective coating that releases cyanide when bitten into could protect seeds from pests, say scientists in Switzerland, who were concerned over the effect of pesticides on the environment.
Chemistry World December 6, 2013 Julianne Wyrick	Crowdsourcing unearths promising anticancer compound Crowdsourcing soil from across the US turned up some interesting fungi with promising medicinal molecules.
