Chemistry World April 18, 2006 Jon Evans	Viruses Display Liquid Crystal Control Researchers have discovered that viruses can control the orientation of liquid crystals. Harnessing this ability could aid the development of nanomaterials and biosensors, they claim.
Chemistry World April 14, 2006 Simon Hadlington	Deciphering Hydrogen Tunnelling in Enzymes Researchers have thrown important new light on the phenomenon of hydrogen tunnelling in biological catalysts. The finding is likely to spark a debate among biochemists about the fundamental nature of enzymes.
Chemistry World April 13, 2006 Jon Evans	Chemists Bring Alien Molecule Down to Earth Chemists have recreated an alien molecule in the laboratory by synthesising a stable version of the carbene cyclopropenylidene. Cyclopropenylidene was first detected by radio astronomers in 1985, and is now the most abundant cyclic hydrocarbon observed in interstellar space.
Chemistry World April 13, 2006 Jon Evans	How Many OLEDs Does it Take to Replace a Light Bulb? Chemists and electrical engineers have combined fluorescence and phosphorescence to create the most efficient white organic light emitting diode (OLED) yet developed.
Chemistry World April 11, 2006 Jon Evans	Nanotechnology Tackles Chemotherapy Chemists and medical researchers have developed nanoparticles that target chemotherapy drugs directly at tumours. The researchers claim that the same technique could be used to develop nanoparticle-based treatments for a wide range of other diseases.
Reactive Reports Issue 54 David Bradley	Interview with Martin Walker This professor focuses his research on green chemistry and the use of fluorous biphasic systems.
Reactive Reports Issue 54 David Bradley	Metals Take on Carbon's Bonding Characteristics A rethink about chemical bonding might be in the cards thanks to research that shows that the metal indium forms bonds in a manner not dissimilar to organic carbon atoms.
Chemistry World April 5, 2006 Arthur Rogers	Update: Europe Tightens Fluorinated Gas Restrictions A furious row between the European Parliament and the European Commission has stalled plans for further restrictions on use of fluorinated gases in the European Union.
Science News April 15, 2006 Janet Raloff	Putting the Pressure on Poisons Researchers found aflatoxin B1 (a liver carcinogen) in 6% of uncooked rice collected from markets in Seoul. It was also found in rice samples from the U.S. The safest way to prepare this rice? Pressure-cook it, a new study finds.
Chemistry World April 3, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	IgNobel Chemists on Tour On the London leg of the tour, the recent endeavours of US chemist Theo Gray, who invented the periodic table table -- an actual table shaped like the infamous chart and containing samples of the elements -- was highlighted.
