Chemistry World October 24, 2007 Lewis Brindley	Mass Spec Explodes A new technique developed by US researchers could pave the way for faster analysis of biological samples by first vaporising them using laser light.
Chemistry World October 24, 2007 James Mitchell Crow	Drip Line Slips Away Researchers have squeezed 29 neutrons into an atom of aluminum, bringing into doubt current theories which predicted that it would be too unstable to exist.
Chemistry World October 22, 2007 Simon Hadlington	A Swell Idea? US researchers have developed a new polymer-based gel that can rapidly change color in response to a range of triggers, including temperature, humidity and salt concentration.
Chemistry World October 18, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Nanoparticle Reveals Sulfur's Midas Touch Researchers in the US have taken a snapshot of the inside of a gold nanoparticle, shedding crucial new light on one of chemistry's longest-standing questions: how does sulfur bind to gold?
Chemistry World October 18, 2007 Ned Stafford	Artificial Cornea Set for Clinical Trials Next Year A European research team has developed a polymer-based artificial cornea that could go into human trials as soon as next spring. If successful, the corneas could help the millions of blind people worldwide who are unable to get a transplant because of the dearth of human donors.
IEEE Spectrum October 2007 Neil Savage	Nanowire Silicon Solar Cell for Powering Small Circuits A new type of solar cell made from a nanometer-scale wire might one day provide an on-chip power source for nanoelectronic devices or run microscopic robots, say scientists.
Reactive Reports October 2007 David Bradley	How Cannabis Works What is it about the psychoactive component in marijuana, THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, that exerts its special effects? New clues about the cannabinoid receptor type 1 have now emerged thanks to German researchers.
Reactive Reports October 2007 David Bradley	An Economical Hydrogen Economy Researchers have now developed a catalyst that may be able to convert sunlight and water directly into hydrogen, in a process analogous to the photosynthesis of carbohydrates by plants using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water as the raw materials.
Reactive Reports October 2007 David Bradley	The Venusian Greenhouse A rare form of carbon dioxide in which one oxygen atom contains ten neutrons instead of the usual eight could be to blame for the searing greenhouse effect on the planet Venus.
Chemistry World October 17, 2007 Lewis Brindley	Shining a New Light on Nanowires Scientists have created tiny solar power cells using silicon nanowires 200 times thinner than a human hair. The cells could provide renewable energy for both nano- and large-scale applications.
