If you’re like me, you probably want to read as much as possible on science. These site will help you stay inform on all the latest news and discoveries.

1. NewScientist

This is my preferred website for science news. It is mostly free of charge despite the fact that some articles require a subscription. The information is presented in medium length articles or video. Subjects covered are very diverse and very interesting.

The “latest headlines” section give you a quick access to the latest science news. The perfect site to visit at your lunch break.

2. Popular Science

Popular science is a little less popular than NewScientist but still very interesting. Medium length articles on a very wide range of subjects and all of them are free of charges. However, many articles are a little more on the fiction side of science but that doesn’t mean they’re not interesting.

3. Scientific American

On the more serious side, this offers in depth article on a variety of science subjects. For some reasons, I visit this site a little less often that the 2 previous one but it is still a very interesting site.

4. Nova

If you prefer video instead of text, this site is for you. They have a rich archive section where you can look at video classified by interest. They also have interactive pages where you can, for example, simulate the impact of a meteor on nearby regions.

5. Space

If astronomy is your thing, this is the site. The top stories section give you access to the latest news in astronomy and the “featured” section offers more in depth articles. Every shuttle missions are covered in great details and there is also an easy access to Nasa live TV.
