Let’s Remember Some Publications That Said We Would Get To Mars By 2026 - Defector

Good science journalism is by its nature suspicious of grand or outlandish claims. Good science journalism does not take press releases at face value, but rather investigates the evidence behind those claims and the context in which they appear. Good science …

A Massive Iceberg Broke off Greenland. New Images Show What Led up to It - Gizmodo

Going beyond simple models of neural networks: Extended mean-field theory offers a better approach - Phys.org

Physics is most readily applied to relatively simple systems: a pendulum, two electrons colliding or the structure of the solar system. But when systems become complicated—when many particles interact with one another, in condensed matter systems such as gase…
