Chemistry World September 24, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Viral Nanoreactor Captures Single Molecules Researchers in the Netherlands have created a biochemical nanoreactor by cracking open a virus, removing its contents then reassembling the virus's protein coat around a single molecule of enzyme.
Chemistry World September 24, 2007 Rebecca Trager	US Security Research Lagging Behind Chemists have defended the US Department of Homeland Security's record on security research after a congressional watchdog said the department had been slow to identify and develop countermeasures for terrorist threats.
Reactive Reports September 2007 David Bradley	Fire Resistant Paint A way to toughen up the latex particles used to make emulsion paints has been developed by chemists. The approach involves adding tiny slivers of clay armor to make the particles more hard wearing and fire resistant.
Reactive Reports September 2007 David Bradley	Light Controlled Magic Bullet Researchers have developed a new light-controlled drug-delivery system they claim could minimize side effects.
Reactive Reports September 2007 David Bradley	Insecticidal Synthesis The efforts of 40 PhD chemistry students and many others have found a way to construct azadirachtin -- a natural insecticide from the neem tree -- in a total synthesis of 64 individual chemical reaction steps.
Reactive Reports September 2007 David Bradley	Plain or Vanilla It turns out that a single gene is responsible for changing the way our noses perceive the smell of androstenone, a derivative of testosterone, and a potent ingredient of male body odor.
Fast Company October 1, 2007 Linda Tischler	Matter If the key to a young graduate's future was once "plastics," today it's biopolymers, plastic analogs made mostly from natural, biodegradable components instead of petrochemicals.
Chemistry World September 21, 2007 Zoe Corbyn	Biofuels could boost global warming, finds study The findings come in the wake of a recent OECD report, which warned nations not to rush headlong into growing energy crops because they cause food shortages and damage biodiversity.
Chemistry World September 20, 2007 Lewis Brindley	New Catalyst Rings the Changes Organic chemists in the US have developed a method to control the stereochemistry of a useful intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.
Chemistry World September 19, 2007 Ned Stafford	Electric Cars Hoping for Lithium Ion Revolution General Motors is betting that chemists are close to solving the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle puzzle, by developing rechargeable batteries that are safe, robust, long-lasting, and inexpensive.
