I like Scienceblog for its mix of "brows", though it leans towards the layman in most cases:

http://www.scienceblog.com/

I'm also partial to "Nature". I loved the print version, but in this day and age, I try not to subscribe to too many paper magazines:

http://www.nature.com/

It sounds like you might be looking for something that may track news based upon a particular scientific pursuit, ie. life extension, solar energy, cancer research. I've not found any website that allows me to aggregate news of that type, other than Google News. And with Google, you gotta know what you want to track. :)
