Chemistry World September 19, 2007 Lewis Brindley	Cell Destruction by Gel Implosion Scientists in Hong Kong have shown that creating a gel inside bacterial cells can stunt their growth. This research is a step towards developing novel treatments that would target rapidly-reproducing cells such antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
Chemistry World September 18, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Researchers See Electrons in a Spin Scientists in the US have successfully measured the spin polarisation state of single atoms adsorbed to a surface, bringing the prospect of quantum computing and spin-based electronics (spintronics) a step closer.
Chemistry World September 18, 2007 Lewis Brindley	Nanocircuits Made Easy Scientists in Israel have developed a simple way of making complex networks of carbon nanotubes and stamping them onto circuit boards, taking a further step towards building the next generation of smaller, faster microchips.
National Defense October 2007 Grace Jean	Building Miniature `Noses' to Sniff Explosives To sense malicious chemicals and substances, such as explosives, scientists are searching for the holy grail in chemical sensing -- a mechanical device that is as good as or better than a dog's nose and can run nonstop to provide continuous monitoring of an environment.
Chemistry World September 17, 2007	US Reforms Could Double the Cost of Chemistry Patents The US House of Representatives approved legislation last week that could dramatically raise the cost of patenting chemical reactions and discourage researchers from presenting or publishing their work.
Information Today September 17, 2007	STN Announces STN AnaVist 2.0 Chemical Abstracts Service and FIZ Karlsruhe announced a new version of STN AnaVist analysis and visualization software.
Chemistry World September 9, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Sugaring the Pill Researchers in the US have made a key advance in efforts to bolt sugar molecules onto natural products in the search for new drugs.
Chemistry World September 7, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Food Additive Chemistry Here is a look at artificial food additives, as a study commissioned by the UK Food Standards Agency suggests they may increase hyperactivity in children.
Chemistry World September 7, 2007 Henry Nicholls	The Oxygen Revolution The standard textbook account of the chemical revolution has the new chemistry of Antoine Lavoisier winning over the entire chemical community almost overnight. But new research suggests this version of events may be plain wrong.
Chemistry World September 6, 2007 Tom Westgate	Probe Maps Individual Atoms in Semiconductor Troublesome clusters of dopant atoms have been 'seen' for the first time. Researchers have drawn up the first 3D maps of the individual atoms in a semiconductor.
