Chemistry World January 20, 2014 David Bradley	Molecular librarians create druglike collections Finding biologically active small molecules with pharmaceutical potential is a bittersweet process. Now, a new approach to building libraries of diverse alkaloid-type structures has been developed by US chemists.
Chemistry World January 20, 2014 James Urquhart	Tracing paper boost for solar cells A piece of transparent paper made from wood-based cellulose fibers is an unlikely addition to a solar cell that actually increases its efficiency.
Chemistry World January 20, 2014 Philip Ball	Sense and sense ability Chemistry is the most sensuous science. Vision, taste and smell have always been among the chemist's key analytical tools.
Chemistry World January 17, 2014 Phillip Broadwith	Plug and play redox enzymes With the constant drive to make chemical synthesis ever cleaner, more energy-efficient and generate less waste -- both in research and industrial processes -- more and more chemists are looking to harness enzyme catalysis.
Chemistry World January 17, 2014 Katia Moskvitch	Life may have begun in a tiny water droplet Chemical reactions run much faster and more efficiently when they take place in tiny droplets rather than in freestanding water -- such as a puddle or a lake, say researchers.
Chemistry World January 16, 2014 Hepeng Jia	Leading Chinese chemist jailed for embezzlement A leading environmental chemist has been jailed for embezzling money earmarked for research in China.
Chemistry World January 16, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Slime bacteria produce an alternative to fish oil German scientists searching for a sustainable source of medically important polyunsaturated fatty acids have shown they can be manufactured by soil-dwelling bacteria.
Chemistry World January 16, 2014 Timothy Hele	Quantum mechanical tunneling in chemical physics There are few texts on quantum tunnelling and its many applications, so it is gratifying to see an attempt to supply a much-needed addition to the field by Nakamura and Mil'nikov.
Chemistry World January 15, 2014 Kirsty Muirhead	Biomarkers leave gender clues at crime scene Scientists in the US have unveiled details of a colorimetric assay that could provide an initial indication of a suspect's gender during the on-scene stages of a forensic investigation.
