Chemistry World October 25, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Oldest Pigments Found in Ancient Fossils Researchers have extracted colourful organic molecules from the fossilized remains of 350-million-year-old sea creatures. The orange and yellow pigments may provide a new way of tracking the evolutionary history of the ancient crinoids, or sea lilies, which still swim around ocean reefs today.
Chemistry World September 28, 2012 Helen Potter	Molecular fossils: new compounds from 4900-year-old wood If you dug up a wooden artifact, how could you tell what type of tree it came from? French chemists have identified unique molecules from an ancient piece of oak that could hold the key.
Chemistry World November 27, 2006 Richard Van Noorden	Home-Baked Plants Solve Petrol Mystery Scientists have baked up their own artificial leaf fossils to answer a long-standing puzzle concerning the chemical formation of kerogen, a precursor to fossil fuels.
Geotimes August 2006 Jennifer Yauck	Ancient Bird Fossil Makes a Splash Recent expeditions in a remote area of China have unearthed unusually well-preserved fossils of an ancient bird that lived between 105 million and 115 million years ago. The fossils of the surprisingly modern-looking bird suggest that today's birds may have originated from an aquatic ancestor.
Chemistry World September 25, 2013	Coloring in the dinosaur book Chemists' best known contributions to palaeontology are probably radiocarbon dating and stable isotope analysis. But they now face a bigger challenge that has traditionally fallen into the hands of artists: adding color to the ancient world.

Technology Research News January 14, 2004	Hardy molecule makes memory In what may mark an advance in the quest for ever-higher data-storage density, researchers from the University of California have shown that a type of porphyrin molecule holds up under temperatures as high as 400 degrees Celsius and after being written to and read from trillions of times.
Technology Research News January 12, 2005	Branchy Molecules Make Precise Pores Researchers have found a way to coax a material containing microscopic pores to assemble from two very different types of molecules. The material could be used as packaging material for microscopic electronics, to store gases, and to deliver tiny amounts of drugs to very specific places.

Geotimes February 2004 Megan Sever	An African puzzle piece The time period from 32 to 24 million years ago has largely been a black hole for paleontologists studying East Africa's animals. Newly discovered large vertebrate fossils from Ethiopia, however, are providing evidence that not only was there a thriving and diverse population, but also that it continued long after.
