Chemistry World August 13, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Nature Captured in a Test-Tube Two groups of researchers have demonstrated how a complex chain of reactions catalyzed by multiple enzymes can be reconstructed in the test tube to synthesize naturally occurring products that have potential therapeutic properties.
Chemistry World August 10, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Azadirachtin Sees First Total Synthesis A complex natural product has finally succumbed to its first total synthesis after 22 years of attempts by eminent organic chemists.
Chemistry World August 10, 2007 James Mitchell Crow	Can Chemistry Save Our Libraries? Three out of every four books in Europe's libraries are printed on acidic paper that isn't expected to last another century. Can analytical chemistry rescue our written heritage?
Chemistry World August 9, 2007 Kira Welter	Molecular Heatwave Spreads at Ferocious Pace Wildfires spread frighteningly fast, but thankfully not at kilometers per second pace. That's the rate at which heat rips through a molecule.
Chemistry World August 8, 2007 Ned Stafford	Structure-Recognition Software Unveiled A software tool which automatically converts old pictures of chemical structures into computer-readable format promises to solve the most tedious problem plaguing chemical bibliographers. But it's got competition.
Chemistry World August 7, 2007 Simon Hadlington	The Burning Issue In an effort to clean up fossil-fuel power stations, scientists have completed a project to create ceramic straws that can produce a stream of pure oxygen from air.
Chemistry World August 2007	Chemistry Through the Lens Surface Steps on a Stainless Steel Fiber: This scanning electron micrograph shows a ferritic stainless steel fiber, after holding for several hours at 1250 degrees Celsius in a reducing atmosphere.
Chemistry World August 6, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Stakes Raised for ICI Dutch chemicals company Akzo Nobel has raised its potential offer for Britain's Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) to 8 billion pounds (670p per share).
Chemistry World August 6, 2007 Tom Westgate	Unique Antibiotic Beats Superbugs' Resistance The discovery of how a unique antibiotic kills its targets has uncovered a new way to tackle resistant superbugs. A team of chemists and structural biologists have studied how the natural antibiotic lactivicin interacts with a crucial bacterial protein.
Chemistry World August 1, 2007 Ned Stafford	Young Scientists Win Million-Euro Prizes The European Science Foundation announced that organic chemist Jeroen Cornelissen, 34, was one of 20 young scientists to receive EURYI 2007 awards, most with cash prizes of 1-1.25 million paid out over five years.
