Chemistry World May 2007 Yfke Hager	Careers: Solvent Star Here is how Adam Walker co-founded solvent company Bioniqs and is now its CEO He made the transition from postdoc to CEO in just three years.
Geotimes May 2007 Carolyn Gramling	Lava Cooks up Carbon Nanotubes Mount Etna may be a fiery factory for one of the most sought-after tools of nanotechnology: tiny carbon nanotubes.
Chemistry World April 30, 2007 Lewis Brindley	New Superabsorbents to Clean up Future Oil Spills Chemists in Japan have developed a new class of superabsorbent polymers that can swell to hundreds of times their weight by soaking up nonpolar organic solvents.
Chemistry World April 30, 2007 Victoria Gill	Amyloid Protein Seen to Zip Together Amyloid proteins' long, complicated structure makes them tricky to study, but U.S. researchers have found that they share a common feature that could provide a drug target for an array of incurable conditions.
Chemistry World April 27, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Scientists Clash Over Methane Mystery The startling claim that trees could be responsible for putting millions of tons of methane into the atmosphere every year was published last year in the prestigious journal Nature. But that has now been rubbished by rival researchers who report that plants emit virtually no methane whatsoever.
Chemistry World April 27, 2007 Ned Stafford	New HIV Blocker Prepares for Trials Scientists who isolated a natural component of human blood that defends against the HIV-1 virus are now moving quickly to test their ideas clinically in the hope of bringing a new class of HIV-blockers based on peptide therapeutics to market.
Chemistry World April 26, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Hydrogen Busters go Synthetic Chemists have created a small molecule which mimics the way natural enzymes chew up hydrogen. The model should inspire designs for new catalysts that can break up hydrogen in fuel cells; or (running in reverse) help produce the fuel for a hydrogen economy.
Chemistry World April 26, 2007 Philip Ball	Water's Surface is Acidic Pure, neutral water has an acid skin. This striking notion has now been confirmed by calculations and tests by an international team of scientists. The finding could be significant for a number of disciplines.
Chemistry World April 25, 2007 Victoria Gill	Nanoscale Scales Scientists at MIT have designed a device able to accurately weigh single nanoparticles within a liquid. The new technique is based on the ultra-sensitive mass detection made possible by nanomechanical resonators.
Chemistry World April 25, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Malaria Drug Cures Mice with Single Dose U.S. chemists have adapted a Chinese herbal medicine to create a new generation of antimalarial drugs which could solve some of the current crop's failings.
