Chemistry World November 13, 2014 Andy Extance	Good vibrations brighten superconductor outlook New observations from researchers in the US and Canada of how electron movement in superconductors can be boosted could be set to accelerate their development.
Chemistry World November 13, 2014 Katrina Kramer	Persuading proteins to form porous polyhedra Researchers in the US have designed a hollow cube out of naturally occurring proteins, something that was previously only possible with DNA.
Chemistry World November 13, 2014 Thadchajini Retneswaran	From beehive to bone cement Taking inspiration from honey bees, scientists in South Korea have incorporated a compound used in beehives into a new strong biomaterial with sustained antimicrobial properties.
Chemistry World November 12, 2014 Matthew Gunther	Metallic blood smell attracts predators Scientists in Sweden have discovered that the volatile component in blood that gives it its metallic scent may be how carnivores find their prey.
Chemistry World November 12, 2014 Carla Pegoraro	Aptamers and gold nanoparticles whisked up to spot influenza Researchers in the UK have developed a new visual bioassay that can detect flu viruses by making them heavier.
Chemistry World November 12, 2014 Iain A Smellie	Organic chemistry: structure, mechanism and synthesis This book contains all the key concepts one would expect in a good core organic chemistry textbook. The content also extends towards biochemistry and molecular biology.
Chemistry World November 11, 2014 Charlie Quigg	Sleeping sickness fly trap in a nutshell An international team of chemists has developed a green method for creating odour attractants to trap the insects that spread African sleeping sickness.
Chemistry World November 10, 2014 Andy Extance	Hydrogen bond pictures come under close scrutiny Scientists have cast doubt on whether striking atomic force microscopy images previously thought to show hydrogen bonds are real or merely an artefact.
Chemistry World November 10, 2014 Anisha Ratan	Driving towards success with biomass-derived petrol Chinese scientists have overcome previous limitations to generate high octane number petrol from biomass-derived I -valerolactone, an organic compound that is already often blended in small amounts with petrol or diesel.
