C - Written at an advanced, or collegiate level
ESL - Written for a reader that has a hard time reading English
N - Written at a normal high school reading level

Science Article - "Star Trek Style Tractor Beam' Created by Scientists"   

Summary: Scientists have used light to cause a pulling effect on an object instead of a pushing effect which normally happens.

Science Article - "DNA perfect for digital storage"   
Author: Jonathan Amos

Summary: DNA can be kept in stable format for 1000's of years without electricity or degradation, which allows us to keep information for a LONG time.
Personal thoughts: I think it is interesting to think that the technology used to read (and maybe even the English language will change so much) the information on the DNA will need to be modified to match the technology and the language of the time.
