Editorial Standards

Mechanism before trivia

Articles explain why and how, not just lists of facts.

Primary-source preference

Standards bodies, scientific agencies and research institutions are preferred where practical.

Uncertainty is part of science

Active research questions are labelled as such. A new paper is not automatically presented as consensus.

No fake expertise

Pen names are not decorated with invented degrees, laboratory affiliations or professional credentials.

No unsafe experimentation

The site explains science without chemical-mixing recipes, hazardous electrical procedures, radiation experiments or other dangerous practical instructions.
