Chemistry World October 27, 2006 Emma Davies	Sulfate Solution to Acrylamide Problem Simple changes in farming methods could help reduce levels of acrylamide, the suspected carcinogen and possible neurotoxin, in wheat-based foods, according to UK researchers.
Chemistry World October 26, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Plutonium Hitchhikers Take the Fast Stream The radioactive element plutonium can travel through groundwater despite its low solubility: it hitches a ride on tiny colloid particles in the water.
Chemistry World October 26, 2006 Victoria Gill	Volcanoes Reveal the Secret of the Origin of Life Life began with a chemical reaction under the sea over four billion years ago. That is the claim of a German scientist whose team has recreated a crucial part of the reaction, synthesizing all the necessary ingredients for a living organism.
Chemistry World October 26, 2006 Bea Perks	Honeybee Genome Unveiled The humble honeybee is giving up its genetic secrets, now that scientists have unveiled the insect's entire genome sequence. Chemists have a lot to learn from the honeybee genome.
Chemistry World October 25, 2006 Jessica Ebert	The Smell of Filthy Lucre The musty smell that most people associate with old pennies and other objects made of iron, copper, or brass is really a human body odour, not a metal vapour, report researchers.
Chemistry World October 25, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Oldest Pigments Found in Ancient Fossils Researchers have extracted colourful organic molecules from the fossilized remains of 350-million-year-old sea creatures. The orange and yellow pigments may provide a new way of tracking the evolutionary history of the ancient crinoids, or sea lilies, which still swim around ocean reefs today.
Chemistry World October 24, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	A Chequerboard of Water Water droplets cling in flat squares and dance in round globes on a smart surface created by South Korean researchers. Exposure to light wipes away the pattern, and an alternative can be written in with no etching required.
Reactive Reports October 2006 David Bradley	Amilra Prasanna "AP" de Silva An interview with the Queen's University of Belfast chemistry professor on his fascinating research into logical molecules.
Reactive Reports October 2006 David Bradley	RNA Chemistry Zips Up Nobel Prize If Watson and Crick unlocked the mystery of DNA's structure, then Stanford University's Roger Kornberg and his team unzipped the secret of how the cell converts DNA into the RNA needed to make proteins.
Chemistry World October 19, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Great Leap Forward for MRI Imaging Magnetic resonance imaging could one day be used to track individual molecules in the body, thanks to a dramatic increase in the technique's sensitivity.
