Who's better, who's best? - p251
doi:10.1038/nchem.259
There are many different criteria that can be taken into account when judging the scientific success of individual researchers, but are some more meaningful than others?

Reaching out to complexity - pp252 - 253
Bruce C. Gibb
doi:10.1038/nchem.260
Although many chemists are no strangers to complicated molecular structures, they are less familiar with complex systems and emergent phenomena. Bruce C. Gibb suggests that teamwork is the best way forward for tackling these subjects, and considers how university departments are changing to promote collaboration.

Bioanalytical chemistry: Protein oligomers frozen in time - pp257 - 258
David E. Clemmer & Stephen J. Valentine
doi:10.1038/nchem.264
The size and shape of amyloid- protein assemblies have been studied using electrospray-ionization ion-mobility mass spectrometry, and the protein tetramers and dodecamers have been identified as an important oligomerization state in the development of neurodegenerative disease.

Organic synthesis: Scavengers in full flow - pp258 - 260
Peter H. Seeberger
doi:10.1038/nchem.267
Reducing the manual labour associated with chemical synthesis by using continuous-flow reactors that not only make compounds, but also purify them, opens up new avenues to reaction automation and rapid scale-up.

Theoretical chemistry: Magnetic superatoms - pp260 - 261
R. Bruce King
doi:10.1038/nchem.263
Clusters of atoms are generally only stable enough to form superatoms when they have filled electron shells, so how can they have magnetic properties?

Chemists are able to synthesize, and deduce the structure of, ever more complex molecules produced by nature, but what does the future hold for this venerable field, and what are the new challenges?
