Chemistry World March 8, 2007 Jessica Ebert	How to Catch an Insulin-Doping Athlete A growing number of athletes reportedly take insulin to boost their performance illegally, but controlling insulin abuse has gone largely unchecked. Now, a urine test designed by German and Belgian scientists could be set to change all that.
Chemistry World March 7, 2007 Lionel Milgrom	Diatoms Transformed Into Silicon Sensors Materials scientists have found a simple method of converting frustules - the intricate silica-based skeletons of common single celled photosynthetic organisms called diatoms - into pure silicon structures with many applications.
Chemistry World March 6, 2007 Michael Gross	Nature's Supramolecular Chemistry Researchers studying a bacterial molybdenum-storage protein have teamed up with inorganic chemists to resolve the structure of the storage protein's central cavity.
Chemistry World March 5, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Desperately Seeking Silicon Silicon has been blamed for the faulty fuel that caused thousands of UK cars to break down last week. How can a silvery-gray semi-metal popularly known to be used in computer chips have found its way into gasoline?
Chemistry World March 5, 2007 Victoria Gill	Protein Stops HIV Infection in its Tracks Researchers have identified a protein that might help explain why promising microbicide gels are yet to prove effective against HIV transmission.
Chemistry World March 5, 2007 Ned Stafford	Funding Ignites Ethics Row Some believe scientists should refuse awards that are connected to tobacco companies, in this case the Philip Morris Foundation. How should chemists face ethical questions about funding?
Chemistry World March 2, 2007 Philip Ball	Giving Life a Hand Why are proteins left-handed and nucleic acids right-handed? Once offered only a few sketchy theories, scientists have found more alternatives for creating homochirality.
Chemistry World March 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Riding the RAE Rollercoaster For chemists, a shift to metrics may bring welcome relief from the time-consuming and onerous RAE, first praised but increasingly criticized for its effect on UK research.
Chemistry World March 2007 Philip Ball	Opinion: The Crucible Understanding why nature's materials are so smart could be the first step to educating synthetic polymers.
Chemistry World March 2007 Dylan Stiles	Opinion: Bench Monkey For structural analysis of small molecules, NMR spectroscopy can't be beat.
