Chemistry World September 2010 Paul Docherty	Column: Totally Synthetic After a target has been synthesised, and the question of 'can we make this?' has been answered, perhaps the most important remaining question is 'how did nature make it?'
Chemistry World September 2010	Column: The crucible There is no hidden understanding to be teased out by 'improving' the periodic table, argues Philip Ball. But Eric Scerri begs to differ in his book, The periodic table, its story and significance.
Chemistry World September 2010 Tsouris et al.	Do we really need carbon capture and storage? The two sides of the CCS debate go head to head - should CCS be backed or sidelined?
IEEE Spectrum September 2010 Sally Adee	Physics Projects Deflate for Lack of Helium-3 U.S. radiation detectors suck up the existing supply
Chemistry World August 31, 2010 Mike Brown	Oyster glue's secret ingredient Jonathan Wilker and his team at Purdue University and colleagues at the University of South Carolina have been investigating how oysters bind to reefs and each other, in a bid to develop synthetic composite materials with properties that imitate the oyster glue.
Chemistry World August 27, 2010 Leigh Krietsch Boerner	Bio battery based on cellular power plant Mitochondria, often called the powerhouse of the cell, have been harnessed in a new battery-like device that could one day power small portable devices like mobile phones or laptops.
Chemistry World August 26, 2010 Simon Hadlington	A self-optimising microreactor system Chemists in the US have developed a microreactor system which automatically calculates the optimal conditions for the chemical reaction it is undertaking.
Chemistry World August 25, 2010 Phillip Broadwith	Antibiotic nanoparticles go for gold Chemists in the UK and India have developed a simple, one step synthesis of gold nanoparticles incorporating an antibiotic, without using any other chemicals.
Chemistry World August 24, 2010 Lewis Brindley	A better way to add radioactive fluorine Making compounds that contain the useful radioisotope fluorine-18 ( 18F) could be much easier in future, say researchers in the UK and Finland.
Chemistry World August 23, 2010 James Urquhart	Growing magnetic leaves A magnetic leaf has been created by researchers in Germany using a simple one-step process to synthesise a complex iron carbide microstructure that mimics the intricate structure of a leaf.
