Chemistry World December 23, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Opening the gate for molecular electronics Chemists in Korea and the US have shown that the current running through a transistor made of a single molecule can be regulated by tweaking its molecular orbital energies.
Chemistry World December 22, 2009 Rajendrani Mukhopadhyay	SlipChip serves up protein crystals A simple microfluidic device requiring no pumps or valves can be used to screen for suitable protein crystallisation conditions, claim US researchers.
Chemistry World December 21, 2009 Simon Hadlington	'Two-legged' molecular walker takes a stroll UK chemists have designed a two-legged molecule that can walk up and down a straight molecular track. The system could form the basis for artificial linear molecular motors that can transport cargoes in a way similar to molecular machines used in nature.
Chemistry World December 18, 2009 Nina Notman	Cutting edge chemistry in 2009 We review the ground-breaking research and important trends of the year's published chemical science papers.
Chemistry World December 17, 2009 Simon Hadlington	Single catalyst gives two products from racemic mixture Chemists in the US have demonstrated a remarkable reaction in which a single catalyst can transform a racemic mixture - molecules identical in every way except for their chirality - into two distinct enantiomerically pure products.
Chemistry World December 17, 2009 Lewis Brindley	Nanoscale 3D imaging in a single shot The process works by bouncing a single beam of x-rays off an object, then collecting the scattered wave pattern using a curved detector.
Chemistry World December 13, 2009 Lewis Brindley	Breaking the strongest bonds Chemists have uncovered a way to sever two of the strongest bonds in chemistry - in dinitrogen and carbon monoxide - and make useful organic compounds.
Chemistry World December 10, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Solving fibril formation "It really is a case of the ideas of mathematics and physics helping us to understand chemistry and biology," says Chris Dobson of the University of Cambridge.
Chemistry World December 10, 2009 Simon Hadlington	Flexible organic flash memory Researchers have succeeded in making an elusive component of organic electronics: a flash memory transistor that can be incorporated into a thin, flexible plastic sheet.
Chemistry World December 10, 2009 Nina Notman	Mussel proteins inspire new diabetes treatment A natural glue that sticks mussels to rocks and boat hulls has inspired US scientists to develop a new type of medical adhesive for use in pancreatic islet transplantation.
