New Scientist turns 50
New Scientist
(OK, another anniversary story. But aren’t we all getting older?)
The magazine New Scientist turned 50 last week and it’s celebrating this milestone with a special two-cover, extra-fat issue, available now at your newsstand. Much of the golden anniversary-themed content is now available for free on the magazine’s website. Of special note is the compendium of New Scientist’s ‘best’ articles from the previous 50 years, available at:

‘Classic’ articles include one published in 1956 that highlights a new US digital computer, the Burroughs E 101, and one from 1990 that reports on the ‘trouble with Hubble’ [the infamous space telescope]. A great walk down memory lane…
Also interesting is the collection of forecasts by over 70 scientists and thinkers. Each piece provides a brief take on what the author believes will be the biggest scientific breakthrough in the next 50 years. Contributors include physicists, neuroscientists, cosmologists, psychologists and leading lights from every discipline. These articles can be found at:
