Quanta Magazine
Quanta Magazine’s goal is to illuminate basic science and math research through public service journalism. Each article braids the complexities of science with the malleable art of storytelling and is meticulously reported, edited and fact-checked. Launched and funded by the Simons Foundation, Quanta is editorially independent — our articles do not reflect or represent the views of the foundation.
