Racing tyre analysis shows ‘undetectable’ treatments the chequered flag
Softened tyres offer drivers improved grip and handling, shaving valuable seconds from lap times. However, racing associations have long recognised the dangers of hydrocarbon- and plasticiser-based softening agents. These chemicals act by penetrating and degrading the rubber in tyres, which can create unpredictable weak spots, and many are potent carcinogens that are easily inhaled or absorbed through the skin.

5th Workshop on Microfluidics
The event was supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) for the third time. Representing the scientific board of the V Workshop on Microfluidics, Prof. Charles Henry from Colorado State University, USA, presented the awards to the three best works which were awarded by the RSC .
Analyst Award was awarded to Eduardo L. Rossini, from Universidade Estadual Paulista, Araraquara (Brazil), for the work “Simultaneous determination of uric acid and creatinine using μPAD”. Furthermore, Roger Cardoso Moreira, from Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia (Brazil), received the Analytical Methods Award for the work “Adaptation of a commercial electrophoresis system for quaternary amines separation in microchips”. Lastly, the Lab on a Chip Award was given to Houari Cobas Gomez, from Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas, Sao Paulo (Brazil), for the work “3D focalization LTCC microfluidic device for nanoparticle synthesis by nanoprecipitation”.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to thank the support received from the RSC.
Sincerely yours,
Angelo Luiz Gobbi

Royal Society of Chemistry NMR Discussion Group – 8th Annual Postgraduate Meeting, University of Manchester
The annual NMR Discussion Group Postgraduate Meeting is now an established event and the 8th meeting was hosted by the School of Chemistry, University of Manchester. As always, the meeting provided an ideal forum for early career research workers to present their work in an informal environment, either orally or as a poster. Established researchers, from both academia and industry, also attended the meeting as delegates. A diverse range of topics was presented, covering all magnetic resonance related disciplines, including small molecule characterisation, solid-state NMR, imaging and molecular biology.
To complement presentations given by early career research workers, overview lectures were delivered by Professor David Middleton (University of Lancaster) and Dr Mathias Nilsson (University of Manchester) on ‘Adventures in Biomolecular Design and Solid-State NMR’ and ‘Pure Shift NMR’ respectively. The meeting was sponsored by Thermo Scientific and the Royal Society of Chemistry, and prizes were awarded for the best oral and poster presentations. Judging was carried out by three independent members of the NMR Discussion Group Committee.
