Chemistry World October 19, 2006 Simon Hadlington	Invisibility Cloak is Latest Amazing `Metamaterial' Chemists beware -- the metamaterialists are making startling progress. The latest structure composed of a metamaterial is a remarkable cloaking device that can render an object invisible to microwave radiation -- in two dimensions at least.
Chemistry World October 17, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Heaviest Element Awaits Confirmation A team of Russian and American scientists has claimed the discovery of element 118, the newest and heaviest addition to the periodic table.
Chemistry World October 16, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Antimatter Persuaded to React with Matter Matter and antimatter usually destroy each other in a flash of energy and a spray of exotic particles when they meet. Yet the two have been coaxed into into a chemical reaction.
Chemistry World October 16, 2006 Michael Gross	Brief Encounter Observing fleeting interactions between molecules in solution requires extremely sophisticated methods. NMR spectroscopists have now developed tools that let them watch the transient encounter between two proteins before a well-defined complex is formed.
Chemistry World October 12, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Lasers on the Energy Ski Slope Researchers have shown that intense laser-light pulses can act as catalysts, controlling the end products of a chemical reaction without themselves being absorbed.
Chemistry World October 13, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Fastest Synthesis in the West A promising antibiotic with a novel mechanism of action has been synthesized for the first time -- and with impressive speed.
Chemistry World October 12, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Methamphetamine Crooks Down on the Farm Researchers have discovered a way to curb illegal methamphetamine production across agricultural states in the US by adding a chemical to farmers' fertilizer, which is often stolen to help cook up drug.
Chemistry World October 11, 2006 Arthur Rogers	Controversy Continues as Reach Nears Completion With deadlines looming for final agreement on the planned European Union system of registration, evaluation and authorization of chemicals, the European Parliament's Environment Committee is pushing for further amendments.
Chemistry World October 10, 2006 Victoria Gill	Pour-on Nanotechnology Stops Bleeding in Seconds Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a liquid that stops bleeding in any tissue in a matter of seconds. It is a discovery that they claim has the potential to revolutionize surgery and emergency medicine and could even make it easier to reattach severed limbs.
Chemistry World October 9, 2006 Michael Gross	Miniature Microbicides Researchers have created miniature antimicrobial peptides that contain only four (as opposed to the usual 12-50) amino acid residues combined with a fatty acid.
