Chemistry World May 17, 2007 Michael Gross	Further Integration of Micro Fluidics and Mass Spec Chemists in Germany have created a glass microchip that combines microfluidic channels with a nanospray emitter for electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
Chemistry World May 16, 2007 Tom Westgate	DNA Photography It is a technology that is fast disappearing in the digital age. But black and white photography is more than an archaic art-form to a team of German chemists who have used it as the basis for a simple method of detecting labeled DNA molecules at attomole levels.
Chemistry World May 16, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Nanopolymers Get Stuck In U.S. scientists have discovered how to glue two materials together with a one nanometer-high layer of polymer chains.
Chemistry World May 15, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	New Research Centres for UK Chemistry Two research centres hoping to add new dimensions to UK chemistry were officially launched last week.
Chemistry World May 14, 2007 Ned Stafford	Large-Scale Biopolymer Production German chemical giant BASF has taken a decisive step toward starting commercial production of biopolymers for making plastics, announcing that it is financing research to determine the feasibility of large-scale production.
Chemistry World May 11, 2007 Michael Gross	The Atmosphere on Titan's Moon Using spectroscopic measurements made during flybys of the Cassini craft, researchers in the U.S. can now present first insights into the reactions that lead from methane and nitrogen to the formation of tholins, which are believed to make up the orange fog that veils Titan's surface.
Chemistry World May 11, 2007 Victoria Gill	Wine's Fruity Chemicals Sniffed Out The interaction between the bewildering variety of ingredients in wine makes it difficult to tie compounds and flavors together, say Spanish researchers. But a surprising finding from a team at the University of Zaragoza could help producers achieve a more fruity bouquet.
Chemistry World May 10, 2007 Simon Hadlington	New Electrode Material for High-Capacity Lithium Batteries US researchers presented details of a new electrode material for rechargeable batteries which, they claim, can store almost twice as much charge as conventional electrodes.
Chemistry World May 9, 2007 James Mitchell Crow	Controlling prion folding US scientists report that prions, infamously linked to mad cow disease, have crucial subsections that control their behavior, including whether or not they can cross between species.
Chemistry World May 8, 2007 Lionel Milgrom	Yearly Anti-Osteoporosis Jab Goes Straight to the Bone One injection of a new anti-osteoporosis drug a year can stop osteoporotic bone fractures in post-menopausal women, report researchers. The drug is already marketed by Novartis as Zometa (zoledronic acid) for use in several other disorders.
