Updated weekly, it explains important developments in biology, chemistry, the environment, space, physics, and technology. Information is provided in context, clearly explained and abundantly illustrated, so new advances are seen not as inexplicable wonders, but as resulting from the application of the same concepts and principles of investigation that are taught in school.
