Chemistry World February 7, 2014 James Urquhart	Materials break into snow business The Winter Olympics games in Sochi will be a test bed for new technologies and materials that will both enhance the arenas and the equipment that the athletes are using.
Chemistry World February 7, 2014 Emma Stoye	Crystal ribbons grow on a curve Colleagues at Harvard University in the US investigated the effects of elastic stress on crystals, which is increased by growing them on a curved surface rather than a flat one.
Chemistry World February 7, 2014 Harriet Brewerton	Saliva information Scientists in the US have developed a mouthguard sensor that could be used to monitor metabolites in saliva to provide real-time information on the health status of the wearer.
Chemistry World February 6, 2014 James Urquhart	Graphene ribbons exceed theoretical conduction limit Researchers in the US and Europe have observed exceptional electron transport in graphene nanoribbons, which actually exceeds theoretical predictions for perfect graphene.
Chemistry World February 6, 2014 Carla Pegoraro	Catching viruses associated with cervical cancer Researchers in the UK have developed an automated bioassay that can spot the forms of the human papilloma virus most often linked with cervical cancer.
Chemistry World January 27, 2014 Peter Morris	Mystic chemist This book by Hagenback and Werthmuller examines the stories of the two Swiss chemists who made the compounds that became DDT and LSD.
Chemistry World February 5, 2014 Andy Extance	Plants bear palladium catalyst fruit UK researchers have redefined the term 'chemical plant' by showing thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) seedlings can reduce palladium salts and help produce catalytic nanoparticles.
Chemistry World February 5, 2014 Jenifer Mizen	Protein-free and low sugar -- not a new diet, a new vaccine A Streptococcus pneumonia vaccine with fewer sugar units and no antigenic protein is not only easier to produce but could also induce a superior immune response to the vaccine currently in clinical use.
Chemistry World February 4, 2014 Kirsty Muirhead	Co-localization sheds light on mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease Researchers in Australia have unveiled an immune-labelling and imaging mass spectrometry technique to demonstrate the interaction of iron and dopamine in the brain of a Parkinson's disease mouse model.
Chemistry World February 3, 2014 Jonathan Wells	Shining a light on hospital wastewater Researchers in Portugal looking to find new ways to inactivate multidrug resistant-pathogenic bacteria have found an alternative to the traditional expensive and often ineffective methods for treating hospital effluent.
