Chemistry World June 21, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Boron is Key to Antifungal Agent Researchers have shown that the presence of a boron atom is key to an antifungal agent being developed to treat infections of fingernails and toenails.
Chemistry World June 21, 2007 Michael Gross	A Mirror for the Moon Cosmologists have said that a Moon-based telescope with a parabolic mirror made of a rotating liquid would be ideally suited to studying very distant structures of the universe. Researchers using a chemical approach have now succeeded in creating a liquid based system.
Chemistry World June 20, 2007 Simon Hadlington	More Sugary Solutions for Petroleum Substitutes Two independent research groups have demonstrated how sugars can be catalytically converted to hydroxymethylfurfural, a possible intermediate for the production of plastics, and dimethylfuran, which can be used as a fuel.
Reactive Reports Issue 66 David Bradley	Nuclear Chemist's Love of the Web Benefits Chemists Everywhere Mitch Andre Garcia uses the internet to help the chemistry community. His latest web creation is a ranking tool which allows users to submit research papers of interest and for others to vote on their worthiness or otherwise.
Reactive Reports Issue 66 David Bradley	Bonding Solution Scientists have found a way to make unreactive molecules, such as unactivated arenes hook up.
Reactive Reports Issue 66	Lengthy Nanobelts Scientists have stretched the notion of nanotechnology to design and synthesize a range of nanoscopic belts that almost sound big. Their nanobelts are about one millimeter long, the thickness of a dime.
Reactive Reports Issue 66 David Bradley	Fluorescent Font Scientists at Xerox have taken invisible ink to the next level, not to create secret, childish codes, but to enable a quick and easy way to security-protect valuable documents using readily available technology.
Chemistry World June 14, 2007 James Mitchell Crow	Young-Ish Giants Party On Chemist Fraser Stoddart celebrated his 65th birthday in scholarly style last week, with a group of chemistry's rising stars that raised a glass - and a slide or two - in his honor.
Chemistry World June 14, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Sweet Substitute for Petroleum Products Chemists have developed a new way to turn the sugars glucose and fructose into a potentially useful chemical feedstock. The work reflects a global effort to identify ways of converting plant-derived molecules into replacements for petrochemical feedstocks.
Chemistry World June 12, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Imploding Bubbles Mix Fluids on a Chip Fluids traveling through micro channels could be mixed together by being whipped into a laser-induced froth, say researchers. Their technique may provide a simple way to control chemical reactions in a lab-on-a-chip.
