Chemistry World February 2009 Derek Lowe	Column: In the pipeline How important is it to have the best equipped lab? One group holds that there's little effect at all, that good scientists can do good work with whatever's at hand.
Chemistry World February 2009 Paul Docherty	Column: Totally Synthetic The farming squeeze has renewed interest in compounds with anti-insect abilities, especially those known for their activity against specific pests.
Chemistry World February 2009 Philip Ball	Column: The crucible The flowery language of fragrance chemistry doesn't distract the author from the sharp scent of olfactory understanding
Chemistry World February 2009	Column: Undercover academic Late last year, the success rate for the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council first grant scheme was dropping alarmingly.
Chemistry World January 29, 2009 James Urquhart	Graphene to graphane by chemical conversion An international research team have successfully converted graphene - sheets of carbon just a single layer of atoms thick - into its hydrogenated equivalent, graphane.
Chemistry World January 29, 2009 Rebecca Trager	EPA's chemical evaluation process 'high-risk' The US government's 32-year-old law regulating chemical safety needs a complete overhaul, according to Congress' investigative arm
Chemistry World January 28, 2009 Nina Notman	Iron helps oceans capture more carbon A team of international scientists studying the role of iron in the storage of carbon under the ocean have confirmed that natural iron fertilisation increases the rate of carbon capture.
Chemistry World January 28, 2009 Manisha Lalloo	Ultra-pure boron structure discovered Scientists have characterised a new form of elemental boron - a notoriously hard element to synthesise in a pure form - and found that ionic bonding helps hold the structure together.
Chemistry World January 28, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Water spilt with aluminium Aluminium clusters' ability to split water molecules and release hydrogen is dictated by the geometric arrangement of active sites on their surface, US scientists have discovered.
Chemistry World January 27, 2009 Nina Notman	Tethered nanocubes seek out analytes A team led by Timothy Fisher at Purdue University have developed a new type of biosensor coined a 'nano-tetherball biosensor' based on nanocube-shaped sensors tethered by conducting carbon nanotubes to electronic circuitry.
