Technical explainers and analysis from an experimental physicist on quantum computing hardware, error correction and industry structure. Readers get context on recent papers and engineering trade-offs, backed by concrete numbers.
A neuroscientist's bar-themed essay newsletter that explains science through long, character-driven pours, such as how the brain clears waste during sleep and how Brownian motion and termite stigmergy work. Readers get clear, well-sourced explanations of physics and biology wrapped in a personal, storytelling voice.
A Korean-language series that teaches quantum chemistry step by step, covering topics such as approximation methods for wave functions (variational method, perturbation theory) and the Bohr atomic model. It explains the mathematics and physics in an approachable, conversational way for learners.
Long-form articles on the history of astronomy and physics, and on overlooked episodes of American history, often built around a single puzzle or primary-source question. Readers get carefully sourced narratives with image credits and attention to what is and isn't known.
