Chemistry World August 20, 2008	Grasslands Emit Greenhouse Gas Chinese researchers have found further evidence that plants emit significant quantities of methane - a potent greenhouse gas. But the latest findings also show that methane emissions depend not just on the species of plant, but the conditions in which they are growing.
Chemistry World August 20, 2008	Spying on Self-Assembly Proteins attaching to gold nanoparticles don't mill around randomly, but organise into clusters, according to UK scientists who say they have for the first time spied in detail peptides assembling on a surface.
Chemistry World August 19, 2008 Ananyo Bhattacharya	Flask synthesis promises untainted heparin US researchers have created milligrams of pure heparin using enzymes and chemicals - a practical laboratory synthesis that could avoid the contamination issues surrounding the blood-thinning drug
Chemistry World August 18, 2008	Patterning Promise for Next-Gen Computers Breakthroughs in controlling the way polymers self-assemble on surfaces could be key to making the next generation of computer components, say two teams in the US.
Chemistry World August 18, 2008	Exclusive Interview: Cal Dooley Cal Dooley, the American Chemistry Council's next president and CEO, is no stranger to controversies over industry's use of chemicals.
Chemistry World August 15, 2008	Arsenic-Loving Bacteria Rewrite Photosynthesis Rules Bacteria that photosynthesise using compounds of arsenic, rather than water, have been discovered in Mono Lake, California.
Chemistry World August 15, 2008	Furfural Fuels Straight From Cellulose US scientists have developed a simple chemical process to convert cellulose to furfural molecules - an alternative biofuel source.
Chemistry World August 14, 2008 Lewis Brindley	Colorful Waterproofing for Anything Materials scientists in China have developed a simple process to add an extremely waterproof coating to a variety of materials.
Chemistry World August 13, 2008 Fred Campbell	Buckyball synthesis under control Researchers in Spain have developed a highly efficient, surface-catalysed route to fullerenes.
Chemistry World August 12, 2008	Reach Regulator Faces Resource Stretch The process of pre-registration of chemicals under Reach is now accelerating amidst concerns that the Helsinki-based European Chemicals Agency, which is responsible for running the EU scheme to regulate the production and use of chemicals, may not have enough resources to do its job properly.
