Chemistry World August 2006 Mark Peplow	Editorial: Action Please, Not Reviews of Reviews Whether developing new materials for fuel cells, or contributing to the Council for Science and Technology's nano-review, chemists' voices in the UK must be heard by policy-makers. Given the current pause for further thought, now is the perfect time to chip in.
Chemistry World August 2006 Yfke Hager	Careers: The Analysis Jigsaw For the past four years, Cathy Brookes has passed on her enthusiasm for analytical chemistry to students on their sandwich year at Bristol Myers Squibb Pharmaceuticals.
Chemistry World July 28, 2006 Tom Westgate	Radioactive Scorpion Venom Stings Brain Tumours Scorpion venom carries a nasty sting for brain tumour cells. A peptide based on chlorotoxin, found in the venom of the Giant Yellow Israeli Scorpion, has been used to target glioma, a particularly aggressive form of brain tumour.
Chemistry World July 28, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Nanotubes with Added Nitrogen Are Less Toxic Adding a dash of nitrogen to carbon nanotubes can make them substantially less toxic, according to researchers.
Chemistry World July 28, 2006 Tom Westgate	Industrial Solvent in Cancer Probe The cancer risk posed by trichloroethylene (TCE) should be reassessed, according to a new report.
Chemistry World July 27, 2006 Tom Westgate	Lasers Make Erbium a Cool Customer A material that gets colder when hit with a laser beam may sound odd, but scientists have found that adding a dash of the metal erbium to certain compounds can turn them into miniature refrigerators.
Chemistry World July 26, 2006 Victoria Gill	Chemical Fix for a Perfect Smile Artificial dental enamel could soon be on its way to your mouth, say chemists.
Chemistry World July 26, 2006 Victoria Gill	Reversible Glue `De-Bonds' at the Touch of a Button A new kind of superglue that uses nanoscale magnetic particles to bond and de-bond on command has been developed.
Chemistry World July 25, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Government Hits Back Over Sussex Chemistry Row The near-death experience of the University of Sussex' chemistry department earlier this year is still causing ripples in UK parliament.
Chemistry World July 24, 2006 Killugudi Jayaraman	Plastic Solar Cells Make Light Work Solar cells based on organic semiconductors instead of silicon could potentially turn wall paints into a source of electricity, but their low efficiency is a major roadblock. Scientists now believe they have a new approach to boosting the output from polymer cells.
