Chemistry World February 13, 2014 Tim Wogan	Greener route to esters dodges toxic reactant The industrially important synthesis of esters could be set to become greener and safer as German chemists have found a way to use carbon dioxide in place of carbon monoxide for alkoxycarbonylation.
Chemistry World February 13, 2014 Sarah Kenwright	Natural adhesive brings new life to old carpets A biotechnological process to transform lignin into an adhesive opens the door on an eco-friendly strategy for recycling carpets, new research shows.
Chemistry World February 12, 2014 Amy Middleton-Gear	Neutralizing heparin without complications Recovering from operations could become easier thanks to a self-assembling multivalent heparin binding agent being developed by scientists in the UK, Italy and Spain.
Chemistry World February 12, 2014 David Bradley	Chemicals on rotation in a stellar nursery Protostars have been shown to act as nurseries for some interesting chemistry, as well as stars.
Chemistry World February 12, 2014 Manisha Lalloo	Synthetic strategy targets 'undruggable' small RNAs Chemists in the US have found a way to predict small molecules that can target short pieces of RNA involved in some diseases, such as cancer.
Chemistry World February 12, 2014 Graham Wynne	Introduction to biological and small molecule drug research and development This text, edited by Ganellin and others, will be of particular interest both to the medicinal chemist who is looking to increase their knowledge beyond the small molecules area, and those with experience in the biologics field.
Chemistry World February 11, 2014 Emma Stoye	Dan Shechtman starts presidential campaign Dan Shechtman, who won the chemistry Nobel in 2011 for his work on quasicrystals, has begun his campaign to become president of Israel, meeting with politicians at the Knesset, the legislative arm of Israel's government.
Chemistry World February 11, 2014 Stephen McCarthy	Multiferroic material breaks symmetry with layers Scientists have made a material capable of both piezoelectric and ferromagnetic behavior. The discovery opens up the possibility of a new class of polarizable and magnetic compounds, and could lead to better devices for storing electronic information.
Chemistry World February 10, 2014 Ian Randall	Polymer puts a new twist on soft robotics Twisted polymer springs capable of turning light energy into mechanical movement have been developed by researchers from the Netherlands and the UK.
Chemistry World February 6, 2014 Simon Lewis	Design and strategy in organic synthesis In this comprehensive treatise by Hanessian and others, a wide range of total syntheses from many different laboratories is used to exemplify different approaches to synthetic design.
