The November issue of Photonics Spectra has an article on new DNA
sequencing technologies.  Amit Meller’s group and their work with
nanopores is mentioned.  Unfortunately, only an abstract is
available online, but you can apply for a free subscription to the
print magazine at the website. 

Rowland’s Amit Meller and colleagues have a new paper in Nano Letters
on DNA nanomechanical switches.  (Source: Amit Meller)

MIT and Harvard scientists have collaborated with labs from other
universities on a wiki named OpenWetWare.   It has a listing
of lab pages and a tools section, as well as a FAQ and etiquette
guidelines.  It’s described as a place for scientists to organize
information.  (Source: Nature)

This Nature article explores some of the blogging and wiki efforts in
science and asks why more scientists haven’t adopted these new vehicles
of communication.  (Source: the Sci-tech Library Question)
