The Year in Physics | Quanta Magazine Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics.

Here’s the Quanta Magazine review article about the year in Physics. There’s also a video on their YouTube Channel.

The Year in Biology | Quanta Magazine Take a jaunt through a jungle of strange neurons underlying your sense of touch, hundreds of millions of years of animal evolution and the dense neural networks of brains and AIs.

Quanta Magazine picks for the top stories in bioscience this year. I assume there will be a video about the top 3 at some point. The Maths and Physics videos are already available.

Recent progress in quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for even the most powerful supercomputers. Innsbruck physicist Martin Ringbauer is developing a plattform which uses not qubits […]

How Our Longest Nerve Orchestrates the Mind-Body Connection | Quanta Magazine Like a highway system, the vagus nerve branches profusely from your brain through your organs to marshal bodily functions, including aspects of mind such as mood, pleasure and fear.

Quanta Magazine has filled the void in my layperson science reading left by the deterioration of New Scientist.

You should subscribe to their website RSS feed and their YouTube channel. Both are free and bloody marvellous.
