The National Science Foundation (NSF) has made improvements to the agency's daily news service, Science360. These changes highlight the success of the news service over the past seven months and allows quick access to the latest information and news about scientific discoveries to news outlets and the public.

"These improvements allow NSF to provide reliable, fresh content about the latest discoveries in science and engineering research," said Jeff Nesbit, NSF director of legislative and public affairs. "With content from NSF, other agencies, and universities and institutions across the country, news outlets and others can disseminate the best science and engineering news through videos, podcasts, images, articles and blogs on their own sites." Science360 is an up-to-date view of breaking science news from around the world. Various news formats are brought to subscribers daily including breaking news, audio and video selections, latest research published in journals and much more.
