Chemistry World April 29, 2009 Matt Wilkinson	World's first 'naked' uranium-transition metal bond formed UK scientists have made 'naked' uranium-transition metal bonds, providing vital evidence that valence orbitals can play a role in actinide bonding.
Chemistry World April 29, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Methyl halides from biomass waste US researchers have developed a new way to engineer microorganisms to use biomass to produce methyl halides, simple chemicals used as agricultural fumigants and precursor molecules for complex chemicals and fuels.
Chemistry World April 28, 2009 Lewis Brindley	New catalyst means cheap hydrogen from power stations A new catalyst system could improve the efficiency of gas-fired power stations by producing hydrogen gas as a by-product, say Dutch researchers.
Chemistry World April 28, 2009 Jon Cartwright	Metal ions give rise to threaded molecules Chemists in France have developed a simple method to synthesize tricky '[3]rotaxane' molecules for potential applications in intelligent materials and molecular machines.
Chemistry World April 27, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Tailor-made cage for sulfate anions Chemists in the US have made a self-assembling cage designed specifically to recognize sulfate anions.
Chemistry World April 26, 2009 Simon Hadlington	Glowing protein in 'animal photosynthesis' Scientists have discovered that a glowing protein found in some exotic marine animals and used widely as a 'marker' in molecular biology has another remarkable property
Chemistry World April 23, 2009 Nina Notman	Metal toughens up spider silk Spider silk, already one of the strongest fibres known, can be made even stronger by infusing metals into its protein structure, scientists in Germany say.
Chemistry World April 23, 2009 Hayley Birch	Wetlands caused ancient methane belch Air trapped in ancient ice has revealed the likely source of the sudden spike in atmospheric methane concentrations that occurred at the end of the last ice age
Chemistry World April 20, 2009 James Urquhart	New method reveals small molecule-RNA conjugates US scientists using novel chemical screening methods have discovered a new class of small molecules connected to RNA, suggesting that cellular RNA may be more chemically diverse than previously thought.
Chemistry World April 19, 2009 Sarah Houlton	Lead-lined clouds Lead in the atmosphere has a direct effect on how clouds form, according to research by an international team of scientists.
