Scientific American

In its more than 160-year history, Scientific American has become synonymous with the highest standards in science journalism. More than one million copies are sold worldwide. Over four million readers learn about the latest scientific trends each month through the original English language edition and 19 local editions throughout Europe, South America and Asia. Many distinguished scientists, engineers and specialists share their research through the magazine. 135 Nobel Prize winners have authored over 200 articles for Scientific American.

The magazine earned a reputation for reporting innovations before news of them reached the general population. Scientific American published photographs of the Wright Brothers’ plane nearly two years before the successful Kitty Hawk flight. Robert Goddard contributed an article in 1921 defending and explaining his work developing a rocket capable of reaching "interplanetary distances". An article entitled Computers in Business was published in 1954.

In the first issue of Scientific American, Rufus Porter pledged that the publication would "retain its excellence and value, when political and ordinary newspapers are thrown aside and forgotten". 163 years later, Scientific American continues to keep that promise.

In addition to its flagship monthly magazine, Scientific American publishes the bimonthly magazine Scientific American Mind, the English-language edition of Spektrum der Wissenschaft’s Gehirn&Geist, and quarterly single topic Scientific American Reports. Scientific American is also a leading online science, health and technology destination, providing the latest news and exclusive features to more than 1,700,000 visitors monthly, and distributing its content through podcasts and other digital services.
