National Science Digital Library (NSDL)
NSDL was established by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2000 as a free online library which directs users to exemplary resources for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and research. NSDL provides an organized point of access to STEM content that is aggregated from a variety of other digital libraries, NSF-funded projects, and NSDL-reviewed web sites. NSDL also provides access to services and tools that enhance the use of this content in a variety of contexts. NSDL is designed primarily for K-16 educators, but anyone can access NSDL.org and search the library at no cost. Access to most of the resources discovered through NSDL is free.

CO2, meet O2
A new type of sensor that can measure carbon dioxide and oxygen levels simultaneously without interference has been devised by Otto Wolfbeis and colleagues at the University of Regensburg in Germany. The sensor could revolutionize studies of plant respiration and photosynthesis, an area until now plagued by interference in which only one of the two gases could be determined at a time. It could also have application in the food and drink industry as well as in the biotech industry where fermentation and related plant processes are important. “It is likely to become a powerful tool in combinatorial microbiology, in cell-based screening for drugs, and in biomonitoring in general," Wolfbeis explains. "In combination with fiber optic microsensors, in vivo sensing of oxygen and carbon dioxide should be possible."
