Chemistry World February 27, 2014	Organic matter: Ringing the changes Among the joys of running a new process in the plant (and let me be clear, it is a joy) is that, in the plant, chemistry really matters.
Chemistry World February 26, 2014 Emma Stoye	Yellowstone spews out ancient helium Researchers have found that huge amounts of helium are being released through steam plumes in the US's Yellowstone National Park, having been stored in the Earth's crust for billions of years.
Chemistry World February 25, 2014 Charlie Quigg	Cystic fibrosis treatment clears the way Stabilizing a mucus attacking enzyme with cross-links could allow it to be delivered orally to fight infections in cystic fibrosis patients.
Chemistry World February 25, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Synthetic 'textbook model' of a biological catalyst Scientists have developed a simple two-molecule chemical analogue of an enzyme and its substrate that neatly illustrates the fundamental principles of biological catalysis.
Chemistry World February 25, 2014 Philip Ball	Computational chemicals In a highly prescient book, Jean-Marie Lehn remarked that the increasing complexity of synthetic chemical systems should one day extend to 'chemical "learning" systems that ... can be trained.
Chemistry World February 24, 2014 Andy Extance	Molecular motors aim to pass water Water droplets whose shape mysteriously shifts when the surface underneath them is exposed to light could become nanotech-powered chemistry vessels.
Chemistry World February 24, 2014 Derek Lowe	Tools of the trade Organic synthesis has always depended on instrumental analysis, even when the instruments were a thermometer for distillations and a melting point stage for crystals.
Chemistry World February 21, 2014 Phillip Broadwith	Refined gels for cultured cells UK start-up Biogelx is developing self-assembled peptide hydrogels that can provide support to growing cells, but also present well-defined surface chemistry to help cell biologists address biological problems.
Chemistry World February 21, 2014	Chemists on a mission Chemists can, and do, find solutions to humanitarian challenges -- hunger, poverty, pollution, disease -- sometimes using off-the-shelf chemistry that has not been considered for humanitarian issues, or by developing new chemistry.
Chemistry World February 20, 2014 Andy Extance	Cheap polymers twist into superhuman muscles If nylon and polyethylene are twisted into coils, they can make artificial muscles that can lift loads over 100 times heavier than human muscle. They could replace motors in many uses, particularly robotics.
