Chemistry World February 22, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Hydrogels Make Programmed Chemical Origami Israeli scientists have created elastic sheets which buckle into pre-programmed 3D shapes on command.
Chemistry World February 21, 2007 Tom Westgate	Complex Organic Molecules Teamed with Iodine Chemists have developed a method for constructing complex halogen-containing organic molecules from simple compounds in a single step. The discovery could pave the way for the synthesis of many potentially useful naturally occurring molecules.
Chemistry World February 21, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Organic Electricity Generator is Hot Stuff Researchers have successfully demonstrated the thermoelectric effect in an organic molecule. The findings open up the possibility of potential new energy sources, and also present a novel way for probing the electronic structure of molecular junctions.
Chemistry World February 19, 2007 Jessica Ebert	Columbus' Explorers Failed to Strike Silver Samples of galena, excavated from a 15 th-century settlement were thought to represent an early attempt by Europeans to mine silver from Caribbean ores. But further analysis of the samples refutes this hypothesis, and reveals an unexpected origin for the ore.
Chemistry World February 13, 2007 Henry Nicholls	Raphael Revealed by Raman Spectroscopy Forensic and chemical scrutiny of flecks of paint from an unattributed painting lends weight to the idea it was a mock-up for one of Raphael's most famous Renaissance creations.
Chemistry World February 12, 2007 Michael Gross	Nano-Pumpkins Fitted for Drug Delivery Chemists have created hollow molecular spheres by polymerizing a simple, flat building block without the help of any scaffolding or template to create the three-dimensional shape.
Chemistry World February 8, 2007 Tom Westgate	Bubbles Put the Logic Into Lab-on-a-Chip The boundary between computing and chemistry has been redrawn, thanks to devices that mimic digital processors using the physical properties of flowing liquids and bubbles.
Chemistry World February 8, 2007 Victoria Gill	Simple Hormone Treatment Cures Lethal Heart Condition Researchers have discovered that a drug commonly prescribed to new mothers to halt lactation also cures a rare type of heart failure known as postpartum cardiomyopathy.
Chemistry World February 7, 2007 Bea Perks	Protein's Non-Natural Alternative Beta peptides are of interest because of what they can tell researchers about protein folding in general. Now, chemical biologists have built what they say is a 'remarkably protein like' structure from beta peptides.
Chemistry World February 5, 2007 Tom Westgate	DNA-Based Detection for Uranium A portable sensor for the most common form of uranium could give conventional lab-based analytical methods a run for their money, predict researchers.
