Laboratory notebooks contain a literal wealth of information to advance research enterprise-wide, to protect and support patents, and to streamline the regulatory submissions process—if only they ...

This year in the advanced physics course I teach, I wanted to broaden student exposure to lab notebook keeping methods. Students could keep lab notebooks on traditional carbon copy paper, or they ...

Are you working for your data or are your data working for you? Over the last decade or so, labs have made the move from paper lab notebooks to digital laboratory platforms (DLPs). This is a great ...

Over time, these adaptations form a recognizable maturity curve rather than a simple binary divide between old and new tools.

DURHAM, N.C. -- Electronic laboratory notebooks can be a valuable part of a college science education but are not yet a substitute for traditional paper laboratory notebooks, according to a Duke ...

Laboratory notebooks are essential components of the scientific process because they allow researchers to record hypotheses, methods, results, and analyses. They also serve as organizational tools and ...

Electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) are valuable for laboratory digitization infrastructure, but they behave like digital filing cabinets that cannot do more than simply record generated data. Artificial ...

AMES, Iowa – Steve Martin has seven plaques hanging above his office windows, each commemorating an invention or co-invention, each showing off the front page of an official U.S. patent. As you’d ...

Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) were developed to keep track of experiments and data so that scientists could review their work in a single place and easily reproduce experiments. Many ELNs ...

University science laboratories are often on the forefront of cutting-edge technology and experimentation. So why are students still recording their lab results with pencil and paper? Todd E. Woerner, ...

Scientists have long depended on pen and paper to record their observations, filling volumes of lab notebooks with their work. While Charles Darwin’s drawings and diagrams or Albert Einstein’s ...
