Chemistry World March 26, 2007 Victoria Gill	World's Smallest Bowl of 'Alphabet Soup' A fluorescent alphabet soup cooked up by US researchers has demonstrated the ability of a new technique to mass-produce complex shapes on the micro and even nanoscale.
Chemistry World March 23, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	The Hole Story UK chemists are trying to create the first liquids made from holes. The strange fluids could change the way chemical plants operate, they claim.
Reactive Reports Issue 63 David Bradley	Chemists Go Round the Bend Chemists often think of molecular wires as "shape-persistent" rods with limited flexibility, but researchers have now shown that molecular wires can be bent into ring shapes.
Reactive Reports Issue 63 David Bradley	Natural Copy Cat While plants convert carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen, chemists are having a more difficult time finding an efficient method for converting carbon dioxide into useful fuels.
Chemistry World March 22, 2007 Michael Gross	Eat Isotopes to Live Longer Food containing heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen could slow down the aging process. That's the claim of a biochemist who suggests that seeding key biological molecules with deuterium or carbon-13 could drastically reduce oxidative damage or even avert it altogether.
Chemistry World March 22, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Cold Fusion Back on the Menu Preparations are under way for an invited symposium focusing on cold fusion and low-energy nuclear reactions at the American chemical society's 2007 conference. Will the flare-up of cold fusion excitement last?
Chemistry World March 21, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Forcing a Reaction US chemists have forced molecules to react by ripping their bonds apart with ultrasound. The scientists carefully stretched one targeted bond until it snapped, guiding the molecule's subsequent reaction into pathways forbidden by conventional chemistry.
Chemistry World March 21, 2007 Alison Stoddart	Synthesis Strategy Offers no Protection A radically different approach to constructing complex molecules could help to tap the pharmaceutical potential of natural products.
Chemistry World March 21, 2007 Henry Nicholls	The Molecular Cannibal in Vitamin B12 Synthesis An enzyme called BluB single-handedly carries out an act of 'molecular cannibalism', pulling apart vitamin B 2 (riboflavin) to produce a key component of vitamin B 12 known as 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB). This fills a glaring gap in our understanding of the biosynthesis of the vitamin.
IEEE Spectrum March 2007 Michael Riordan	A New Blue Laser Two groups have just announced a new kind of solid-state laser that emits bright blue-violet light, raising hopes of getting green.
