All together now
Article Abstract:
The traditional icons of chemistry, the test-tube and conical flask, are in many situations giving way to lab-on-a-chip methodology. This route to miniaturization offers high-throughput control of reactions that range in context from chemical synthesis and measurement, through biological processing, to medical diagnostics, and the potential advantages include low operating volumes, faster reaction or sample-processing times, safer procedures, and the more efficient selective generation of products.

Relativistic effects in homogeneous gold catalysis
Article Abstract:
Homogeneous gold catalysis, or the process by which transition-metal catalysts containing gold are involved in chemical synthesis, is capturing the interest of scientists. Experimental and computational data are used to understand the reactivity and relativistic effects of the catalysts in synthetic transformations, which might also serve as a model for development of new methodology.

Plant sesquiterpenes induce hyphal branching in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Article Abstract:
A branching factor from the root exudates of Lotus japonicus is isolated and used spectroscopic analysis and chemical synthesis to identify it as a strigolactone, 5-deoxy-strigol. Strigolactones are a group of sesquiterpene lactones, isolated as seed-germination stimulants for the parasitic weeds Striga and Orobanche.
