Chemistry World October 27, 2010 Laura Howes	Single molecule magnets line up Italian researchers claim that they've bound a single molecule magnet to a gold surface, whilst retaining the magnet's properties.
Chemistry World October 27, 2010 Manisha Lalloo	Pepper plant provides drug hope Researchers have found potential new treatments for the tropical disease leishmaniasis, by isolating compounds from a pepper plant used by Peru's native Chayahuitas people as an anti inflammatory.
Chemistry World October 26, 2010	Waterproof Cotton That Can go Through the Wash Chinese researchers have made cotton fabric that is completely impervious to water and can be put through the laundry without losing its superhydrophobic properties, overcoming a key obstacle in the commercialisation of these highly waterproof materials.
Chemistry World October 25, 2010	Dual Purpose Dyes Offer New Imaging Options US researchers have developed a new series of combined fluorescent and chemiluminescent dye compounds that can be stored at low temperatures and then activated to release near infrared light when warmed to body temperature.
Chemistry World October 21, 2010	Studies Probe Key Flu Protein New details about the structure of an influenza protein that is a key drug target have been revealed in separate studies by groups in the US. The two studies provide insights into the workings of the protein machinery that the virus needs to infect cells.
Chemistry World October 21, 2010	Dancing Facets Reveal Nanowire Kinetics In certain circumstances, sapphire nanowires grow by executing an unexpectedly frenetic dance, where oxygen atoms change between partners in vapour, liquid and solid phases. That dance has now been captured by Sang Ho Oh.
IndustryWeek October 20, 2010	Buckyball Comes of Age The buckyball is a nanometer, or one-billionth of a meter, in diameter and consists of 60 carbon atom cages that form the shape of a soccer ball.
Chemistry World October 13, 2010 James Urquhart	Aerosol theory solidifies An international team of researchers has found that atmospheric aerosol particles long thought to be liquid can in fact be amorphous solids. The discovery could improve atmospheric models and climate predictions.
Chemistry World October 11, 2010 Rebecca Renner	Dispersant use not 'unreasonable', despite lack of data The US government was not adequately prepared when it made the controversial decision to use chemical dispersants in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, according to a report from federal officials.
Chemistry World October 10, 2010 Andy Extance	DNA strides into organic synthesis US scientists have used a DNA walker to synthesise an organic molecule in a series of steps, without intervention, for the first time.
