Some sites for Nanomaterials:
nanowebtech.org This site supplements the new Institute of Physics journal Nanotechnology.
Nanowerk Has a unique Nanomaterial Database™, the most extensive industry directory, a packed conference calendar, and complete nanotechnology news coverage,
Nanoforum.org Portal for nanotechnology.
There are so many great science blog aggregator sites coming up! Here are two:
ScienceBlogs ScienceBlogs.com
Method http://science.blogdig.net/
Trying to do a search for a blog?
Technorati http://technorati.com The largest blog search engine.
Google Blog Search http://blogsearch.google.com
From the
top of any Engineering Village page, click Search History. Select the
box next to the search you wish to set up as an alert. If you are not
already logged into your Personal Account, you will be prompted to do
so. If you are not registered for a Personal Account, you will be asked
if you want to register now. (See instructions for registering for a Personal
Account).
You can also set up Email Alerts from the Saved Searches page if you are logged into your Personal Account.
Email alerts can also be setup by clicking the Create email link near each search statement in Easy, Quick, Expert or Thesaurus Search.
Up to 25 records are sent within an email alert. If more records were retrieved from the weekly update, a hyperlink appears in the body of the email alert linking you to Engineering Village. The full update retrieval set will appear when you click on the link. You can also link from email alerts to individual records by clicking an Abstract or Detailed Record hyperlink.
From the My Alerts page, you can view the Latest Results for an alert, edit alerts, and delete alerts.
Note: Non-Scopus documents (abstracts available on platforms external to Scopus) and citations derived from Scopus references are not included in alerts.
The following kinds of alerts are available:
Search Alerts: Search alerts notify you by e-mail when new documents that match a specified search query are loaded on Scopus.
A Search Alert can be created from the Search History page, the Search Results page, and the My Profile page. Search alerts can also be saved from within the Saved Searches page, which is accessed from the My Profile page.
Document Citation Alerts: Document citation alerts notify you by e-mail when new documents are loaded on Scopus that cite a specific document.
A Document Citation Alert may be created from the Record page and the My Alerts page.
Author Citation Alerts: Author Citation alerts notify you by e-mail when an author or group of matched authors is cited on Scopus. An Author Citation Alert can be created from an Author Details page and from Author Cited By search results.
Tip: You can also have new citations for your Search or Document Citation Alert sent to you as an RSS feed.
Click 
to create an RSS feed when a document is cited by another document in
Scopus or when newly loaded documents in Scopus match a search query.
Transparent peer review! This has been going for a while, but keeps gaining momentum in the sciences:
http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0001550
allows for readers to
put in commentary. I think we will see more and more of this in the
future. I see OpenWetWare users starting to
struggle with how to put articles into the wiki/blog structure, and
think that open peer review would work in that
setting very well. Also, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics is using a rapid peer review process.
I think the biologists and bioengineers have something really amazing going on over at http://openwetware.org/wiki/Main_Page I read in a blog posting today that one author was experimenting with posting an article. I wonder if a "journal" and open access are in the future for this site that is largely coursework and protocols at the moment?
I'm probably about a year behind on this, but I just discovered Pageflakes, and it has rocked my world!
I've been able to gather some of the many things that I check out over the course of a day into one handy start-up page. It would be great if some of the commercial vendors could jump into this with their current contents tools. I could envision having a box with the latest entries from some of the science societies for example. There are a few science journals already providing some content--check it out!
We have access now to hundreds of Springer ebooks. The cataloging department is working on getting these titles into the library catalog, but until then, here are the direct links to the collection. Such gems as Lecture Notes in Mathematics, and the Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers are included.
