Chemistry World Podcast

In the first of a brand new podcast series, we get together to discuss 'A is for Arsenic: the poisons of Agatha Christie'

In this months podcast, we discuss Ebola and malaria vaccines in the pipeline, the history of peer review, and managing the mountain of chemical data

In this space special, we learn how to study comets surfaces, and speak to a Nobel Prize winner about his 20-year-old prediction proving to be correct

We ask, does graphene live up to the hype, and discuss injectable electronics that unfold in the brain

What makes food sweet? How do we protect against food alteration? New e-paper, and possible treatment for ebola

We find out how nanotoxicology could be holding back development, and ask if 'patent or perish' should be the new academic adage

How do you smell? We discuss a controversial theory about odour detection, and investigate forensic toxicology

How cephalopods teach chemists about camouflage, and new ways to convert carbon dioxide into useful materials

Cannabis, peanuts and explosive investigations – all in the February 2015 Chemistry World podcast

How a new nanoparticle iron supplement can treat anaemia, and a run down of chemists in the new year honours

How nitrogen can make green explosives and why molecular communication might produce chatty nanobots

We speak to Eric Betzig about his Nobel prize-winning research, and find out how thermoelectric materials can be made more efficient

We speak to Jason Sello about the hunt for new antibiotics, and Monique Simmonds explains the chemical role of botanical gardens

We speak to Paul Clarke about the challenges of natural product synthesis and discuss the pros and cons of perovskite solar cells

This month, how artificial comets may explain the origins of asymmetry in life. Plus, we speak to Martyn Poliakoff

We speak to artist Briony Marshall and art detective Warren Warren about the more artistic sides of chemistry

We speak to Tom Brown, the 2014 Chemistry World Entrepreneur of the Year, and find out why cells spend so much time doing nothing

We speak to the 'sultan of synthesis', Phil Baran, and Peter James explains how labs can save cash on energy bills

Why are researchers boycotting a conference? How can Raman spectroscopy reveal the true colours of paintings? And how can shrimp shells help clean the ocean?

This month, synthetic DNA bases and chemistry using smartphones
