Chemistry World July 24, 2006 Victoria Gill	Eye Glue Debut A gel that could glue transplanted corneas onto the eye has been developed by chemists. Using the gel could reduce the number of stitches needed to fix the cornea in place, potentially cutting the risk of infections.
Chemistry World July 20, 2006 Jessica Ebert	Golden Touch for Amines Aminobenzene chemicals are used to make anything from dyes to pharmaceuticals, and now scientists have found a way to produce them in a more efficient way using a gold catalyst.
Chemistry World July 20, 2006 Victoria Gill	Polymer Boosts Battery Power It might seem like a defibrillator and a hybrid car have very little in common, but researchers developed a polymer that could have a profound effect on them both.
Chemistry World July 18, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Membranes Weed Out Carbon Dioxide Chemical membranes that can capture the carbon dioxide emitted by fossil fuels have been developed by scientists, who say that they are substantially more efficient than conventional membranes.
Chemistry World July 17, 2006 Bea Perks	Marine Toxin Synthesised From Scratch The synthesis of a little understood toxin found in tropical fish marks an important step in natural product synthesis, report chemists. The work will not only help to tackle a widespread food-borne illness -- it will also spare tons of Moray eels from a grisly end.
Reactive Reports Issue 57 David Bradley	Sweet Solution to Energy Problem A new process for converting sugar into diesel fuel and feedstock chemicals for the manufacture of plastics, drugs, and other products, could help industry circumvent the problem of rising oil and natural gas prices.
Chemistry World July 14, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	UK Government Unveils Energy Plans The UK government's long-awaited Energy Review contains great opportunities for chemists, but fails to pledge the research funding needed to meet the country's commitment to renewable energy.
Chemistry World July 14, 2006 Victoria Gill	Ultimate Apex Achieved Researchers have devised a method of coating a tungsten point with a protective layer of nitrogen, which holds all of the metal atoms in place and maintains the tiniest point possible.
Chemistry World July 13, 2006 Michael Gross	Catalyst Cracks Tough Cellulose Metal catalysts can break down cellulose into simple sugar alcohols, chemists have found, marking an important step in the quest to produce green fuels from renewable resources.
Chemistry World July 12, 2006 Jessica Ebert	Light Sensors From a Test Tube Making electronic components from solutions of chemicals has long been touted as being cheaper and cleaner than conventional manufacturing processes, and researchers now say that it can also deliver better devices.
