Chemistry World February 2, 2007 Jessica Ebert	Bacterial Gene Generates Seaside Smell Researchers have identified a bacterial gene that is needed for the production of dimethyl sulfide, the climate-cooling gas responsible for the distinctive smell of the seaside. The discovery challenges the current hypothesis for the mechanism involved in the synthesis of DMS.
Chemistry World February 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Computers Learn Chemistry Chemists who trawl through the thousands of chemistry papers published every month must wish their computers could do the job for them. Well, maybe one day they will.
Chemistry World January 31, 2007 Lionel Milgrom	Demon Ratchets up Nanotech Revolution Inspired by a 140-year-old conundrum, chemists have created a nanomachine that works like a ratchet, transporting molecules in only one direction.
Chemistry World January 31, 2007 Victoria Gill	LSD reveals its secrets A long-standing pharmacological mystery surrounding hallucinogens may finally have been solved by a new study.
Chemistry World January 31, 2007 Ned Stafford	Making Light Work The photovoltaic industry is nearing a breakthrough point, beyond which production capacity will soar, offering consumers a wide variety of options at much lower prices.
Chemistry World February 2007 Derek Lowe	In the Pipeline Can the secret recipe for scientific breakthroughs be taught? And how much indigestion would that recipe cause in the pharmaceutical industry's boardrooms?
Chemistry World February 2007 Philip Ball	The Crucible Molecular biology isn't just about the cleverness of proteins and nucleic acids. Even the molecules often assumed to be just part of the scaffolding, such as lipids, and the very water that bathes them all, may have inventive roles to play.
Chemistry World February 2007 Dylan Stiles	Bench Monkey There's a recurring problem in synthesis where functional groups in a molecule are prone to unwanted side reactions.
Chemistry World February 2007 Yfke Hager	Careers: Political Science Nick Green loves the varied nature of his job as science policy manager at the Royal Society, which sees him talking to politicians and scientists. Just how does a chemist make the switch from laboratory research to science policy?
