Chemistry World May 29, 2007 Lionel Milgrom	Chelated Iron to Treat Malnutrition Adding cheap chelated iron supplements to cereals could help beat childhood iron-deficiency anemia.
Chemistry World May 25, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Keeping it Green Some chemistry enthusiastically labeled as green may be nothing of the kind, warn researchers who worry that mediocre -- if well-meaning -- science is damaging their subject.
Chemistry World May 24, 2007 James Mitchell Crow	Palladium Coupling in Fewer Steps Look out Suzuki - Canadian chemists have successfully joined up simple benzene ring-like aromatics without any pre-activation.
Chemistry World May 22, 2007 James Mitchell Crow	Scientists Seek Indicators of Illness A 17 million-pound fund has been set up by the UK's Medical Research Council for research into biomarkers, the tell-tale body chemicals that are associated with particular diseases.
Chemistry World May 21, 2007 Simon Hadlington	New Technique to Finger Suspects Researchers have shown that it is possible to detect trace quantities of drug metabolites in fingerprints. The finding could allow forensic scientists not only to obtain information about a suspect's identity from the print, but also to elicit 'lifestyle intelligence' on the individual.
Reactive Reports May 2007 David Bradley	Meeting of Molecular Movie Stars New footage confirms Linus Pauling's theory of chemical bonding proposed half a century ago, and could help explain molecular recognition processes important throughout supramolecular chemistry and molecular biology.
Reactive Reports May 2007 David Bradley	The Long and the Short of It A new composite material that acts as a catalyst to speed up chemical reactions has been developed to create arrays of the world's longest carbon nanotubes.
Reactive Reports May 2007 David Bradley	A Scent for Explosives A new type of biosensor based on yeast, jellyfish proteins, and a rat's sense of smell could sniff out explosives, landmines, and agents, such as sarin gas, according to researchers.
Reactive Reports May 2007 David Bradley	Windows Cause Pollution According to researchers, the grime that accumulates on windows, buildings, roads, and other urban surfaces could be an important source of nitrogen oxide air pollutants.
Chemistry World May 17, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Bacterial Navigation Reprogrammed U.S. scientists have forced bacteria to follow new chemical signals by tweaking the bugs' natural guidance system.
