Alchemical musings

In my guise as ChemWeb’s Alchemist this week I report on how there may be no need for a magic bullet in cancer chemotherapy and a basic (as opposed to acidic) approach could be all that is needed. Also spotted a smashing discovery that could explains glassy substances and precludes an ideal standard for physicists.

The Alchemists all sees the swirling clouds clearing as various holes in the ozone layer finally seem to be on the mend, and we learn of a co-polymer that not only fends off barnacles but can smell nice too.

Finally, spontaneous chiral resolution with achiral ligands.
