There is definitely a need for services that collect, categorize, and disseminate new scientific information in an easy to understand fashion. These types of services would be valuable both to the public and to researchers.
The trouble is that services needs to be domain specific and it is likely a full time job to continually mine the journals for new content. User submissions are an excellent idea, but probably not sufficient on their own. For example, there is already HN-like site for biomed: http://hackermed.com/hot
There is opportunity here, especially in the areas like health and fitness which are more popular to the public.
