Reactive Reports Issue 52 David Bradley	Microscopic Contact Lenses Make Sense Gel lenses, resembling microscopic contacts, could find a role in biosensors for analysis and diagnostics, according to researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Reactive Reports Issue 52 David Bradley	Corrosion Isn't All Bad The chemical corrosion of metal surfaces is not all bad and might be exploited to produce useful nanoscale surface features with potential technological applications in catalysis, sensors, and other areas.
Reactive Reports Issue 52 David Bradley	Sporty Nanotubes A new discovery about nanotubes shows improvement in a material's ability to absorb vibrations could lead to new composites for aerospace and automobile engineering applications as well as improving golf clubs and other sports equipment.
Chemistry World February 17, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Designing liposomes to avoid chemotherapy side effects The side effects of a common chemotherapy agent, cisplatin, can be avoided if the molecule is encapsulated in a finely tuned liposome, claim Danish biophysicists.
Chemistry World February 16, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Surprise Discovery That Ionic Liquids Can be Distilled Green solvents are now easier to recycle and purify, following the discovery that ionic liquids are volatile and can be distilled.
Chemistry World February 14, 2006 Jon Evans	Successful Collagen Synthesis Comes to a Sticky End U.S. chemists have sythesised collagen fibers with dimensions similar to the natural protein, leading the researchers to predict the advent of the `bionic man'.
Chemistry World February 13, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Storing up High Hopes for Hydrogen Economy Polymer scientists have joined the race to store hydrogen as fuel. Their breakthrough could help make the hydrogen economy a reality, they claim.
Chemistry World February 9, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Silicon Conducts an Electrical Surprise Silicon can conduct electricity when experts assumed it couldn't, sparking a surprising direction in silicon electronics.
Chemistry World February 8, 2006 Jon Evans	To Boldly go Where no Chemist Has Gone Before Studying the interactions between different molecular fragments is taking researchers to the uncharted regions of chemical space.
Chemistry World February 6, 2006 Jon Evans	Head-to-Tail Monomers Improve Solar Cell Efficiency A team of researchers found that the P3HT polymer chains stacked together more tightly in high RR films, which made them absorb more light and let electrons travel more easily through them.
