Chemistry World March 4, 2014 Emma Stoye	Mass spec backpack for chemical analysis on the go The latest gadget to come out of the labs of Purdue University in the US may look like the fictional 'proton pack' from Ghostbusters, but it's actually a portable mass spectrometer that can be carried around on the user's back.
Chemistry World March 4, 2014 Rebecca Brodie	Geological technique adapted to analyse Aboriginal Australian objects Australian scientists have used a device initially designed for the mining industry to analyze the mineral content of pigments on wooden objects of cultural significance.
Chemistry World March 3, 2014 David Bradley	Mechanical stress pulls cyclization into shape Researchers at the Ruhr University Bochum, in Germany, have calculated that enediyne toxins, compounds used as anticancer drugs, might undergo Bergman cyclization when put under stress.
Chemistry World March 3, 2014 Andrea Sella	Dobereiner's lighter Johann Dobereiner was a German chemist (1780 -- 1849). He pioneered periodic ordering of the elements by identifying 'triads', and invented a hydrogen-fueled fire lighter.

Chemistry World March 1, 2014 Bibiana Campos Seijo	European collaborations EuCheMS, the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences, provides a single voice for chemistry in Europe.
Chemistry World February 28, 2014 Tim Wogan	Fuel cells put in the frame with catalysts that need far less platinum US scientists have created an exceptional fuel cell catalyst that contains far less platinum -- conventional catalysts need 36 times more platinum to hit the same levels of activity.
Chemistry World February 28, 2014 Emma Stoye	Scientists blend standard air The first ever fully synthetic standard air, which can be used as a reference to calibrate atmospheric monitoring equipment, has been produced by researchers in the UK.
Chemistry World February 27, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Quantum tunnelling sparks chemistry on cold surfaces Chemistry in deep space could be more diverse than thought after the discovery that larger atoms can quantum tunnel.
Chemistry World February 27, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Shrimp shells to mine uranium from the ocean Shrimp shells that would otherwise be thrown away by the seafood industry have been turned into tough fibers that can harvest valuable metals from water.
