Chemistry World August 24, 2006 Michael Gross	Biotronics Branches Out Harvard researchers have developed nanowire transistors that interface with individual neurons and, even better, with the individual neuronal extensions that reach out to contact other cells.
Chemistry World August 24, 2006 Jessica Ebert	Alzheimer's Researchers Tackle Waste Disposal The memory of mice with Alzheimer's-like symptoms is improved by inoculating the mice with an enzyme involved in protein degradation, report US researchers. The work could lead to new therapies for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Chemistry World August 23, 2006 Simon Hadlington	Laser Light Cast on Quantum Evolution Researchers have demonstrated for the first time why a technique called coherent control is able to break molecular bonds selectively using finely-tuned pulses of laser light.
Chemistry World August 22, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Open Access for Chemistry The team that developed BioMed Central, an open access publishing website, has launched a chemistry version called Chemistry Central.
Chemistry World August 17, 2006 Tom Westgate	Switchable Surfactants Give on-Demand Emulsions Oil and water can now be mixed or separated simply by bubbling carbon dioxide or air through the blend, thanks to a molecule developed by Canadian chemists.
Chemistry World August 17, 2006 Tom Westgate	Chemist Claims World Firework Record British chemist and rocket man Roy Lowry set off 55,000 standard retail rockets in five seconds, and is now awaiting confirmation from Guinness World Records that the record is valid.
Chemistry World August 16, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Plants' Methane Emissions Revised The news that trees and other plants can give off large quantities of methane took biologists and atmospheric chemists by surprise. Scientists have now fine-tuned their calculations and set an upper limit on plants' total methane emissions that almost halves their original suggestion.
Chemistry World August 14, 2006 Michael Gross	Barcode for Toxin Sensors Stripy nanowires have been developed as a platform for the simultaneous detection of different toxins or bioweapons.
Chemistry World August 11, 2006 Perks & Sanderson	Terror Plot Sparks Frenzied Speculation About Liquid Explosives Widespread speculation on the chemistry of liquid explosives, following news of a terrorist plot to blow up transatlantic flights from the UK, must be treated with caution, warn leading chemists.
Chemistry World August 11, 2006 Tom Westgate	Nanomachines Power up with Piezoelectricity Nanomachines sound like a great idea, but where is the nanobattery to power them? The problem could be solved with piezolelectric nanowires (NWs), tiny strips of matter a few atoms wide that give out electricity when they are flexed.
