Chemistry World March 29, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Seeds of life incubated in proto-planetary nurseries New findings imply that the organic chemistry required to produce the necessary molecules for life is part of the normal processes of planet formation.
Chemistry World March 29, 2012 Philip Robinson	X-ray vision uncovers hidden self portrait Scientists and art historians in Australia have uncovered a lost work of art by one of the country's most famous artists. But rather than lying neglected in a dusty attic, this work was hidden under nothing more than a layer of paint.
Chemistry World March 27, 2012 Laura Howes	Temporary tattoo to give you the sporting edge This Saturday, Nascar racer Paulie Harraka will be using a device based on John Rogers work at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign to monitor his hydration levels as he races.
Chemistry World March 27, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Static's secret rests with material exchange The charge that develops when two materials are rubbed together is dependent on tiny fragments of the materials transferring onto each other, say US scientists.
Chemistry World March 27, 2012 Erica Wise	Unlocking the mysteries of ice The unusual properties of ice under compression are due to Coulomb repulsion between bonding and non-bonding electron pairs, say scientists from Singapore and China.
Chemistry World March 26, 2012 Jon Cartwright	Watching the Double-Slit Experiment in Real Time An international team of scientists has refined the famous double-slit experiment, allowing the untrained observer to watch it unfold in real time.
Chemistry World March 22, 2012 Charlie Quigg	Roll up, roll up! Scientists in India - inspired by research on making water run uphill - have developed a technique that enables a polymer cylinder to not only autonomously climb an incline but carry a weight with it.
Chemistry World March 14, 2012 James Urquhart	Catalysis at the flick of a switch German researchers have created a molecular nanoswitch that can be reversibly and repeatedly turned on and off to control a chemical reaction.
Chemistry World March 13, 2012 Laura Howes	Children's lungs are more susceptible to nanoparticles Infant lungs are particularly prone to nanoparticle deposition, be it from pollution or inhaled medicines, as air flows differently inside them, say US researchers.
Chemistry World March 7, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Polymer thermometer picks out cell's hotspots Mapping the temperature differences in different portions of living cells is now possible thanks to a fluorescent polymer thermometer developed by Japanese scientists.
