Chemistry World June 2008	Column: In the pipeline The author, a medicinal chemist working on preclinical drug discovery, takes a look at the differences between chemists and biologists working on the same team.
Chemistry World June 2008 Paul Docherty	Column: Totally Synthetic Harvard University's David Evans is renowned for his prowess with an aldol reaction, and he has used the endlessly flexible transformation to make a diverse range of natural products.
Chemistry World June 2008 Philip Ball	The Crucible By investigating how far a carbon vertex can be bent before it spontaneously flies apart, chemists can gain some understanding of the parameters within which such frameworks must operate.
Chemistry World June 2008 Dylan Stiles	Bench Monkey The author, an experimental organic chemist, discusses his knowledge gaps as they pertain to computational chemistry.
Chemistry World May 30, 2008 Michael Gross	Improving photodynamic cancer therapy Chemists in the UK and Canada have developed a new molecule that can help doctors to destroy cancer cells with unprecedented precision, using a technique known as photodynamic therapy (PDT).
Chemistry World May 30, 2008 Richard Van Noorden	New superconductors open up the periodic table For two decades, the search for superconductors that worked at high temperatures was restricted to copper. Now a new family of high-temperature superconductors based on iron has been discovered.
Chemistry World May 30, 2008 Lewis Brindley	Putting the brakes on nanomachines Chemists in Taiwan have developed a nanomachine fitted with light-triggered molecular brakes, which can stop nanoscale propellers or wheels from spinning.
Chemistry World May 29, 2008 Richard Van Noorden	Surfactants stop microbubbles popping for a year Tiny bubbles of air can last for over a year if they are covered in elastic shields of surfactant, US scientists have found. A long-lasting dispersion of bubbles this small, they suggest, might improve the properties of foams, paints, contrast agents.
Chemistry World May 28, 2008 Lewis Brindley	Changing the face of a water splitting catalyst Australian chemists have grown crystals of the water-splitting catalyst titanium dioxide that are many times more reactive than usual.
Chemistry World May 28, 2008 Rebecca Trager	Changes to US chemical review procedures flawed Recent changes to the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) main tool for assessing the health effects of chemicals could significantly lengthen the time needed to review them, a congressional watchdog has warned.
