Redesign
The new face of Nature News.
Our news site has been redesigned to make the stories even more timely, easier to find, and open to comment and conversation from our readers. Check out our homepage to see what has changed and get all the latest news.
Here are some highlights of the new site:
NEW BLOGS
The Great Beyond rounds up the world of science news as reported elsewhere, letting you know what’s hot, and who’s got the best scoop.
In the Field delivers diary reports from our reporters as they trawl conference floors or attend exciting science events.
COMMENTING
Have an opinion on our news stories or columns? Now you can post your comments straight onto any story on www.nature.com/news. Join the conversation!
OPINON
Our opinion page collects the columns, editorials and commentaries from Nature – find out what we think about contentious (or whimsical) issues in science.
SEARCH
Only interested in one thing? Use the ‘archive / view by subject’ tab to find stories in one field only, or click on the ‘keywords’ to the left of any story to see what else we have written on that subject.
Only interested in what’s hot? Use the tab in the upper right hand corner of the site to find the stories most commented upon, or most blogged in the blogosphere.
More than half of our daily online content is free for 4 days from publication. To get full access, check out our subscriptions. To get a full tour of all the site’s features, check out ‘about this site’.
We are aware that there may be some glitches and teething problems with the new design, and we want you to tell us about them. If you find a broken link, get annoyed or frustrated by the navigation, or simply can’t find something, write to us on redesign@nature.com.
Sincerely,
Nature News online editor
Nicola Jones.

Loving the new design - soooooo much better than before. Much easier to find stories, navigate between sections etc. And looks really fresh too. Great job!

I opened one article, and looked in vain for the printer-friendly version. Where is it? I'd rather not have to create my own indexes for all the articles I want to see again - with citations in print editions. Also, printer-friendly versions are important for sorting and quick reference. Please direct us to printer-friendly versions - or fix the glitch. :-(
[Editor's note: Hi there. If you print any article using the 'print' button on your browser, it will automatically print in a printer-friendly format. I am intrigued to hear that the printer-friendly on-screen version was also useful to you - can you tell me more, either here or by email to redesign@nature.com? Thanks!]

Hi,
Why don’t you put more illustrations in the nature news page? It’s a lot in text format now. With images it is easier for me to identify the interested content and also to remember what news I have already seen.
Regards. G.
[Editor's note: Hello there. Many people had trouble with so many pictures on the homepage, in part because it slows down the site, and in part because it means we get fewer headlines on the page. As always the new look will be better for some people but perhaps frustrating for others... Thanks for your comment, and I hope you keep reading the site!]

Your site is still good, the content high quality as usual and it looks more complete. But I realize that I don’t have the same pleasure as before and I found out why. I would be happy if you made in the part ‘More stories’ the same chronological and graphical format as before. It was simply well done. Regards.

I second Jean's comment re: the print button. The pages don't format correctly in IE's print previewer, leading the text on the right-hand side of the page to be cut off. Basically, the site is unprintable as it now stands.
