[[Laboratory notebook]]s have been a staple of scientific research for centuries for organizing and documenting ideas and experiments. Modern [[Laboratory|laboratories]] are increasingly reliant on electronic data collection and analysis, so it seems inevitable that the digital revolution should come to the ordinary laboratory notebook. The most important aspect of this transition is to make the shift as comfortable and intuitive as possible, so that the creative process that is the hallmark of scientific investigation and engineering achievement is maintained, and ideally enhanced. The smart [[electronic laboratory notebook]]s described in this paper represent a paradigm shift from the old pen and paper style notebooks and provide a host of powerful operational and documentation capabilities in an intuitive format that is available anywhere at any time.

"Molmil: A molecular viewer for the PDB and beyond"

Molecular viewers are a vital tool for our understanding of protein structures and functions. The shift from regular desktop platforms such as Windows, Mac OSX and Linux to mobile platforms such as iOS and Android in the last half-decade, however, prevents traditional online molecular viewers such as PDBj’s previously developed jV and the popular Jmol from running on these new platforms as these platforms do not support Java Applets. For mobile platforms a native application (i.e., an application specifically designed and optimized for each of these platforms) can be created and distributed via their respective application stores. However, with new platforms on the horizon, or already available, in addition to the already established desktop platforms, it would be a tedious and inefficient job to make a molecular viewer available on all platforms, current and future.
