Chemistry World April 20, 2015 Isobel Marr	Membrane-less electrolyser set to disrupt water splitting Researchers in Switzerland have side-stepped membrane-cost issues getting in the way of sustainable water-splitting by designing a device that does without a membrane.
Chemistry World April 16, 2015 Tim Wogan	Early Earth collision could clear up two geological mysteries Two seemingly unconnected geology problems -- the unexpected ratio of two neodymium isotopes in terrestrial rocks and the energy source for the dynamo that creates Earth's magnetic field -- could be solved by a new theory.
Chemistry World April 16, 2015 Carolyn Devlin	Ionic liquids come up smelling of roses A new perfume delivery system has been developed by chemists in the UK as a way of keeping sweet smells around for longer.
Chemistry World April 15, 2015 Christopher Barnard	Hydrogel with a basic instinct for drug delivery A self-assembling hydrogel with nanofibers that specifically capture and release anti-inflammatory compounds has been created for applications in targeted drug delivery.
Chemistry World April 14, 2015 Anthony King	Chemicals formed on meteorites may have started life on Earth The molecules that kick-started life on primordial Earth could have been made in space and delivered by meteorites, according to researchers in Italy.
Chemistry World April 14, 2015 Laura Fisher	Making fracking greener Researchers in the US have created a chemically-responsive fluid to efficiently fracture rocks that could decrease the amount of energy required for fracking.
Chemistry World April 13, 2015 Simon Hadlington	Single-face fluorinated carbon ring takes the strain In a tour de force of synthetic chemistry, researchers in the UK have succeeded in taking a cyclohexane and bolting a fluorine atom onto each of the six carbons in such a way that the fluorines are all facing 'upwards'.
Chemistry World April 13, 2015 Emma Cooper	Labs and wastewater cleaned with the same sponge Scientists have discovered that a cheap and common sponge they use to clean surfaces and equipment in their lab has a very high capacity to absorb bisphenol A.
Chemistry World April 13, 2015 Igor Larrosa	New trends in cross-coupling: theory and appplications One may question if there is need for another book on cross-coupling reactions, an area that has already been reviewed a number of times in the last decade. The answer, in short, is yes.
Chemistry World April 10, 2015 Jennifer Newton	Camera turned wine connoisseur Researchers analyzed different wines, in different glasses -- including different shaped wine glasses, a martini glass and a straight glass -- at different temperatures.
