Rowland Junior Fellows Frank Vollmer, who studies micro-optical
resonances, and Peer Fischer, who studies optics of chiral molecules,
published a paper together in Optics Letters.  (Harvard affiliates

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.

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)
