Chemistry World September 1, 2014 Bibiana Campos Seijo	Developments in chemical education The author exposes developments that occur when chemistry students make informative social media videos and make use of alternative publishing strategies.
Chemistry World August 29, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Rigid molecular wires make electrons fly Researchers in Germany and Japan have shown that a new type of organic molecular wire -- which is flat and rigid -- can transfer electrons at more than 800 times the speed of its conventional, flexible counterpart.
Chemistry World August 29, 2014 Elisabeth Bowley	Concerns over chemical treatment of reclaimed fracking fluid In the next 50 years, over one trillion gallons of water will be used in shale gas extraction but research from scientists in the US suggests that environmentally detrimental compounds are being created when this fluid is recycled.
Chemistry World August 29, 2014	Get prepped What should you look for in those lab workhorses: balances, stirrer plates and mills? Elisabeth Jeffries surveys the scene
Chemistry World August 28, 2014 Jennifer Newton	Illuminating test measures fat in milk The first fluorescent probe for measuring fat levels in milk is poised to enhance milk quality control processes, particularly in resource-limited regions.
Chemistry World August 28, 2014	Trekking across chemical frontiers Thinking about getting molecules to where they need to go is a new concept for the novice process chemist, but is familiar to chemical engineers as mass transfer.
Chemistry World August 27, 2014 James Urquhart	First ionic liquid made from plant waste Ionic liquids -- salts that are liquid at room temperature -- could potentially be made more cheaply and greenly by recycling by-products from biofuel production processes, according to US researchers.
Chemistry World August 27, 2014 Hayley Simon	Ionic liquids join battle against antibiotic resistance US researchers have used ionic liquids -- organic salts that are liquid at room temperature -- to disrupt bacterial biofilms and deliver antibiotics through the skin's outer layer.
Chemistry World August 27, 2014 Richard Massey	Fluorinating new life into an increasingly ineffective antibiotic A fluorinated analog of the naturally occurring aminoglycoside neomycin -- well known as an over-the-counter ointment for minor skin abrasions -- could lead to a range of much-needed antibiotics
Chemistry World August 26, 2014 Andy Extance	No-frills coats set a trend for designer viruses Dutch scientists have built a simple model of viruses' protective coats in an attempt to create viral mimics that could fight diseases, as opposed to causing them.
