Chemistry World May 19, 2006 Jon Evans	CNTs Provide Pores for Thought Membranes containing pores made of carbon nanotubes could improve the efficiency of processes such as desalination and removing CO 2 from industrial emissions.
Chemistry World May 18, 2006 Michael Gross	Precious Platinum Photographs According to a chemist and photography expert, a 1904 image of a moonrise over a lake, printed in platinum and then modified with the gum bichromate process, has sold for nearly $3 million at Sotheby's, setting a new price record for any art photograph.
Chemistry World May 17, 2006 Bea Perks	Biochemists Reveal Hidden Drug Effects Researchers have identified unexpected drug activities by probing biochemical pathways inside living cells.
Chemistry World May 16, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Switching Off Polymerisation in the Dark With summer in full swing, the world of polymer science is about to get a boost following news that sunlight can kick-start living polymerisation reactions. The twist is that the reaction stops in the dark.
Chemistry World May 16, 2006 Jon Evans	Buckyballs Worth Their Weight in Gold A team of chemists and physicists has uncovered evidence for the existence of hollow buckyball-like cages made of gold.
Chemistry World May 15, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Sussex Reprieve Raises Intervention Issue Proposed plans to close the U.K.'s University of Sussex chemistry department have been scrapped and a new department of chemistry and biochemistry created.
Chemistry World May 15, 2006 Jon Evans	Selective DNA Crystals A molecular biologist has developed a molecular sieve using a DNA crystal with nanoscale channels.
Chemistry World May 12, 2006 Yfke Hager	Biomolecular Traffic Control Dutch researchers have developed a biomotor that steers microtubules to a specific location on a chip. The breakthrough takes nanotechnologists a step closer to developing finely controlled nanometer-scale transport systems.
Chemistry World May 11, 2006 Jon Evans	Sea Water Assumes the Xenon Mantle Geochemists have uncovered evidence that sea water incorporates noble gases into the Earth's mantle, overturning current theories of how noble gases are transported beneath the crust.
Chemistry World May 5, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Secret of Tasty Tomatoes Revealed Vine-ripened tomatoes are officially tastier than gas-ripened supermarket equivalents, and it's all down to their umami. Umami is gaining acceptance as the fifth basic taste (the others being bitter, salty, sour, and sweet).
