Chemistry World November 1, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Insects Make Nanotech Impression Chinese researchers have reported a cheap and effective way to print nanoscale structures onto surfaces: they use stamps created from the delicately patterned wings of cicadas.
Chemistry World November 1, 2006 Victoria Gill	Beta Blockers as Cancer Therapy Researchers have shown how the stress hormone noradrenaline fuels the growth and spread of aggressive, malignant tumours. The data suggest beta blockers, drugs commonly used to treat high blood pressure reverse the effects of noradrenaline.
Chemistry World November 2006 Bea Perks	Call That Chemistry? This year's Nobel prize in chemistry was a tour de force for crystallography, underscoring the vital role chemistry plays across the sciences.
Chemistry World November 2006 Philip Ball	Opinion: The Crucible Here are some of the latest instalments in the ongoing story of how protein misfolding causes neurodegenerative diseases -- a story that is not solely about developing clinical treatments or preventative medicines, but which goes to the heart of proteins' role as the stuff of life.
Chemistry World November 2006 Dylan Stiles	Opinion: Bench Monkey Synthesis is an academically sanctioned opportunity to live on the edge. Handling dangerous materials can be thrilling, like skydiving in a lab coat.
Chemistry World November 2006 Henry & Fox	Comment: Playing Fast and Loose with Science Following the release of the WWF report, "Chain of Contamination: the Food Link," a clinical toxicologist and the director of London's Science Media Center comment on the study, and its coverage in the media.
Chemistry World November 2006 Yfke Hager	Careers: Heartfelt Chemistry After working in New Zealand, medicinal chemistry tempted Ashley Jarvis back to the UK. He now works in his dream field.
IEEE Spectrum November 2006 Samuel K. Moore	Laser on Silicon Scientists have managed to combine an indium-phosphide light emitter and a silicon chip to produce a hybrid laser that, years from now, could lead to cheap terabit-per-second connections within and around computers.
Chemistry World October 27, 2006 Arthur Rogers	European PFOS Restrictions European Union ministers are collaborating with the European Parliament to secure early restrictions on perfluorooctane sulfonates (PFOS), chlorinated compounds used in applications including surface coatings, photolithography, production of microchips, and certain hydraulic fluids.
Chemistry World October 27, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Synthetic Origami Folds Like Natural Enzymes Researchers have synthesised a large organic molecule that folds up like a small protein, though its backbone is entirely non-biological. The achievement is a step along the path to producing truly synthetic enzymes in the laboratory.
