Chemistry World March 22, 2006 Clare E Boothby	Going with the Flow Researchers say they can overcome the problems of modelling flow in fluids like mayonnaise, engine oil and snow by taking thixotropy into account. This insight may help to model fluid flow in avalanches and landslides.
Chemistry World March 22, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Good News for the Chemical Industry The CEO of a UK chemicals company, tired of bad press about the industry, has initiated a training program to persuade journalists to drop the 'dirty and dangerous' tag often linked to chemicals stories.
Reactive Reports Issue 53 David Bradley	Interview with Steve Bryant This research scientist talks about how and why PubChem was started, what it hopes to achieve, and how it is addressing some of the problems that have arisen since its inception.
Chemistry World March 20, 2006 Jon Evans	Polymer Matches Silicon in Semi-Conductor Stakes Materials scientists have developed a semi-conducting polymer that, for the first time, conducts electricity at levels similar to conventional silicon-based semi-conductors.
Chemistry World March 15, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Update: Thriving Chemistry Department Faces Closure An emergency evidence session of the UK parliamentary Science and Technology select committee is being considered to address proposals to cease chemistry teaching at Sussex University.
Chemistry World March 13, 2006 Simon Hadlington	New Way to Produce Heavy Rare Earth Metals Chemists have for the first time demonstrated the electrochemical reduction of a solid oxide of a heavy rare earth metal into its metallic state.
Chemistry World March 10, 2006	Dual Organometallics Enhance Zinc Reactivity Chemists have synthesised organometallic compounds that enable zinc to participate in directed metalation of organic substrates.
Chemistry World March 9, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Covalent Bonds Crack Under the Strain Chemists must consider engineering principles when designing molecules following news that tough carbon-to-carbon bonds break easily under mechanical strain.
Chemistry World March 9, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Unexpected Photochemistry Unearthed Soil uses sunlight to produce chemicals that can break down pollutants in the lowest layers of the atmosphere.
Chemistry World March 8, 2006	Update: Archives for Africa and beyond The Royal Society of Chemistry has provided developing countries with free access to its journal archives, but its involvement shouldn't stop there, said RSC chief executive.
