A New Route to Nanorods of Cadmium Sulfide
Paul Christian and Paul O’Brien
This communication reports the synthesis of rare CdS nanorods which are grown in the Cubic phase.

Synthesis and crystal structure of a push-pull quinoidal porphyrin: a nanoporous framework assembled from cyclic trimer aggregates
Martin J. Smith, William Clegg, Kiet A. Nguyen, Joy E. Rogers, Ruth Pachter, Paul A. Fleitz and Harry L. Anderson
In this work porphyrins have been assembled in honeycomb arrangement with cylindrical channels which have the potential to accommodate other small molecules.

DNA-coated microcrystals
Michaela Kreiner, Geeta Fuglevand, Barry D. Moore and Marie-Claire Parker
Here dry powders of DNA were made by coating micro-crystals in DNA. These powders show excellent stability and the gene amplification
activity of the DNA was not affected.

A Supramolecular Approach to Multivalent Target-Specific MRI Contrast Agents for Angiogenesis
Anouk Dirksen, Sander Langereis, Bas F. M. de
Waal, Marcel H. P. van Genderen, Tilman M. Hackeng, and E. W. Meijer
A new MRI contrast agent which targets the growth of new blood vessels has been developed. It works by targeting the enzyme synthesised by angiogenic
endothelial cells.

Rational design of oligopeptide organizers for the formation of poly(ethylene oxide) nanofibers
Doreen Eckhardt, Matthijis Groenewolt, Eberhard Krause and Hans G. Boerner
Inspired by nature’s ability to construct complex biomolecules, a new strategy has been developed where peptide-polymer conjugates self assemble
into nanofibres.
