Chemistry World January 18, 2010 Phillip Broadwith	Bending the rules for arynes Two teams of synthetic and computational chemists in the US have developed complementary explanations for the unusual selectivity observed in reactions of indolynes.
Chemistry World January 17, 2010 Simon Hadlington	Sugars synthesised with help of promiscuous enzyme European researchers have discovered a new way to make synthetically elusive sugar molecules that could lead to novel vaccine candidates and other medically important compounds.
Chemistry World January 15, 2010 Andy Extance	Quantum computer hits hydrogen bullseye A basic quantum computer has successfully tackled one of the most challenging tasks facing chemists today - calculating molecular energy from basic scientific principles.
Chemistry World January 15, 2010 Kate McAlpine	Capturing carbon with copper A team of researchers in the Netherlands have devised a trap that can pull carbon dioxide out of the air.
Chemistry World January 14, 2010 Hayley Birch	Behavioural fingerprints point to potential drugs A novel screening method that probes the behaviour of zebrafish in response to thousands of different small molecules could help speed up the drug development process, according to US researchers.
Chemistry World January 14, 2010 Rajendrani Mukhopadhyay	Cures in ancient Egyptian cosmetics New research suggests ancient Egyptians could have deliberately used lead-based cosmetics to help prevent eye infections.
Chemistry World January 13, 2010 Simon Hadlington	Click chemistry reveals sugar synthesis in live animals US researchers have used 'click chemistry' to attach chemical tags to complex sugar molecules in the cells of live mice, allowing the synthesis of the sugars - glycans - within the cells to be tracked.
Chemistry World January 12, 2010 Sarah Houlton	EU to look into chemical mixture exposure The Council of the EU has called on the European Commission to look at whether current legislation adequately assesses the risks from exposure to multiple chemicals from different sources.
Chemistry World January 11, 2010 Hayley Birch	Locking molecular motors Dutch scientists have designed a molecular motor that can be locked using an acid and unlocked using a base.
Popular Mechanics January 11, 2010 Jon Luoma	Basalt Vaults Could Store CO2 -- And Turn it to Rock The analysis, published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that expanses of basalts along and just beyond the heavily populated east coast might be ideal for locking-up billions of tons of carbon dioxide.
