Chemistry World March 24, 2014 Dannielle Whittaker	Carving out a future for biomass conversion to jet fuel Lignocellulose, a raw material in biomass, can be converted to biofuels and is often considered a long-term alternative to the diminishing supply of fossil fuels.
Chemistry World March 24, 2014 Tim Wogan	Carbenes beat thiols for robust monolayers Using N-heterocyclic carbenes rather than thiols to bond self-assembled monolayers to gold surfaces makes them much more robust, say researchers in Canada.
Chemistry World March 23, 2014 Anthony King	Californium compound springs bonding surprise Californium is the last member of the actinide series with an isotope long-lived enough to be studied in a standard radiological facility.
Chemistry World March 21, 2014 Hamish Crawford	Waste plastics unzipped into useful chemicals A team from Northland College in Wisconsin, and from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, have developed a way to depolymerize polyesters and polycarbonates into diols and methanol, using ruthenium based pincer catalysts.
Chemistry World March 21, 2014 Richard Massey	Magnetic field and pH synergy controls therapeutic burst Australian researchers have shown how alternating magnetic fields could be used to localize the release of cancer-fighting drugs to cancer cells, limiting side effects in the rest of the body.
Chemistry World March 21, 2014	Preserving the Mary Rose The Tudor battleship has been stabilized and is now on display in a new museum. Jon Evans explores the chemistry stopping those timbers shivering
Chemistry World March 20, 2014 Susannah May	Foaming security system gives thieves a surprise Thieves could inadvertently destroy their intended loot if they attack a cash machine made from a material being developed by scientists in Switzerland.
Chemistry World March 20, 2014 Emma Stoye	Super sensitive test hones in on performance enhancing drugs A new technique that increases the sensitivity of mass spectrometry could make it harder for athletes to cheat, by identifying minute traces of banned drug metabolites in urine that would otherwise go undetected.
Chemistry World March 20, 2014 James Urquhart	Nanoparticle composites make colorful magnetic crystals Incorporating nanoparticles into single crystal materials can imbue them with new properties, such as color and magnetism, thanks to gel crystallization techniques developed independently by UK and Chinese research groups.
Chemistry World March 19, 2014 Emma Stoye	Molecular drill bits attack tuberculosis Peptides that punch through bacterial cell walls while leaving human cells unharmed could open up new ways to tackle antibiotic resistance, say researchers in the US.
