The Swedish Nobel Committee has awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2010 to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov from the University of Manchester, UK, for „two-dimensional material graphene“. The committee announced Geim and Novoselov had shown that carbon in an extremely thin form – just one atom thick – had exceptional properties originating in the world of quantum physics.

Douglas C. Hofmann at the Engineering and Science Directorate, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA, studied bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) exten- sively as potential structural materials as they have a unique array of mechanical properties compared to traditional crystalline metals.
Their amorphous microstructure and variable com- position give BMGs ultrahigh-yield strengths, large
Ubichem, a leading provider of chemistry ser- vices to the drug development sector, has recently launched a new website to house its expanded Discovery Chemical Catalogue. It can be accessed directly at
http://www.ubichemdirect.com/, allowing you to search the functionalised building blocks and purchase compounds which can help progress R&D projects.
Expertise in heterocyclic chemistry has enabled the preparation of many functionalised building blocks with reactive groups suitable for the synthesis of lead compounds. Recent additions include 1,4-di-
