Science explores the methods, evidence and ideas used to understand the natural world and test what we think we know. From foundational principles to emerging questions, it connects observation, experimentation and critical debate. Publish Nexus offers clear context on scientific topics, helping readers assess discoveries, concepts and their wider implications.
Recent disputes over topological qubits show that quantum computing needs stronger norms for data sharing, independent replication and comparable performance evidence.
The National Academy of Sciences has taken its climate-science guide offline while it commissions an independent review of how the chapter was developed.
Hank Green’s acknowledgement that he relied too heavily on AI-assisted research has brought a largely hidden editorial question into public view: how can science communicators use fast tools without weakening the human judgement audiences rely on?
Temperatures above 90°F in northern Russia highlight an Arctic heat event, the feedbacks behind polar warming and what one record does—and does not—show.
Recent demonstrations in protein chemistry and quantum materials suggest that quantum processors are beginning to contribute to scientific workflows, but as specialised partners to classical computing rather than standalone replacements.
