Chemistry World May 2006 Lee Higham	Comment: A Case of Job Dissatisfaction A chemistry degree ought to prepare its graduates for a range of disciplines, such as finance or industry. Some students who choose the subject don't wish to work in those environments though; they are motivated by an academic path.
Chemistry World May 2006	Careers: From Forestry to Renewables Here is how an early career in forestry led this scientist quite naturally to a PhD in chemistry.
Chemistry World May 3, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Nano Warning A leading occupational medicine expert in the UK has angered nanoparticle manufacturers by comparing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with asbestos.
IEEE Spectrum May 2006 Samuel K. Moore	Poky Plastic Perks Up Materials scientists have invented the first polymer semiconductor to perform almost as well as the type of silicon used to drive flat-panel displays.
Chemistry World April 28, 2006 Jon Evans	Double-Whammy Analysis to Probe Nanotubes Chemists and physicists have probed the electronic and physical structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes in unprecedented detail using both Raman scattering spectroscopy and electron diffraction.
Chemistry World April 27, 2006	`Sticky Trees' Glue Molecules to Proteins Researchers have developed a chemical glue that binds molecules to proteins without compromising protein function. The method could be used to modify a wide range of proteins for a variety of purposes, such as in the development of new protein-based therapies.
Chemistry World April 26, 2006	Plasticiser Debate Continues European commission conclusions on risks posed by phthalate plasticisers have brought mixed reactions.
Chemistry World April 24, 2006 Jon Evans	Putting Some Backbone Into Bacterial Killers Chemists developed a novel folded oligomer (foldamer) that is highly effective at puncturing bacteria and could form the basis for a novel class of antibiotics.
Chemistry World April 21, 2006 Philip Ball	In the Blink of an Eye Researchers have found that there's much more to tears than salty water. The liquid film that moistens the eyes has a coating similar to a cell membrane, which keeps debris and bugs out while holding water in, and is structured so that it doesn't get broken up each time we blink.
Chemistry World April 20, 2006 Barry DiGregorio	Calcite Differences on Mars Differential thermal analysis of calcite samples is aiding the hunt for life on Mars.
