About Your Daily Science
Your Daily Science is an independent science magazine. Every week we round up the discoveries in science, technology and AI, space, health, Earth and archaeology; our articles explain how the world works and check famous mysteries, hoaxes and conspiracy claims against the evidence; and our interactive pages let you test yourself, one question at a time, with an AI investigation partner that is always labelled as AI.
Our approach is skeptical but open: we take every question seriously, separate what is documented from what is claimed, and say plainly when a claim is unproven or has been debunked. We never present speculation as fact.
What you’ll find here
Articles
Our articles are organised in five sections:
- Mystery investigations: Famous mysteries, hoaxes and conspiracy claims set against the evidence: what was reported at the time, what investigators found and what is still unexplained, with the documented kept apart from the claimed.
- Space: Space science and exploration: missions, discoveries and the questions people ask about them, explained from agency reports and published research.
- History and archaeology: The past as the evidence shows it: excavations, dating methods, ancient technology and the records historians rely on, including where scholars still disagree.
- Technology and AI: How new technology works and what it can really do: artificial intelligence, computing and the claims made about them, checked against the evidence.
- Mother Nature: The living planet: animals, plants, weather, oceans and the forces that shape the Earth, explained from field research and scientific records.
Every week we also publish a round-up edition. Browse everything on the articles page.

How we make it
Articles are written with the help of AI: Claude, made by Anthropic, researches and drafts each one from pages it opens and reads, and new articles list those pages as their sources. Every new article passes automated checks before it goes live: every listed source was opened, every picture is credited, it is not a near-copy of another of our articles, and it carries an AI note and any trademark notice it needs. No person reads each article before it is published, so we rely on readers to tell us about mistakes, and we correct confirmed ones. Our writers page and editorial policy explain more.
The interactive pages are designed and written by us. Where an AI companion or guide answers, it is labelled as AI, and its answers can contain mistakes.
