New Scientist magazine has for many years run stories on a wide range of new technologies, examining the scientific aspects to these technologies, and the commercial opportunities that they present.

What catches my eye is that they currently seem to be quite early in reporting innovations by young UK small cap companies - often they get wind of where things are heading before the stockmarket even begins to understand the issues.

This post is not intended as a subscription drive for a magazine - far from it. What I'm interested in finding out is whether any other posters take in industry or academic journals specifically to look for investment ideas.

I'm also keen to discuss some of the new technologies as they are featured in New Scientist or other leading and popular science journals.
