All this plus the latest from Mars, the chemistry of soap, Indigenous stories of our planets, amazing nature photography, the science of chronological dating and when you’ll be able to buy a flying car.

How do we deal with this era of rapid change, when the limits of what’s possible – and what’s normal – are shifting? Issue 103 explores this uncertain ground, and the transformations and possibilities that may come with it. Prianka Srinivasan takes us to drowning island nation of Tuvalu to explore their plan to create a digital twin of the country; Drew Rooke dives into the history of life-saving cures from the ocean’s depths; Martin White tackles the dark matter problem from a new angle; Cat Williams investigates a project bringing Noongar oral history and Western science together; David Hancock reports on efforts to revitalise the bush-food industry in the Kimberley. Plus 4D printing, Moon myths, the science of doping and more.

What does the future hold, and how clearly can science see ahead? Issue 102 looks back to look forward. Drew Rooke delves into the fascinating origins of the climate models predicting our future on this planet; Sara Webb explains how a galaxy-sized telescope is finding gravitational waves that may change physics; Natalie Parletta visits the World Vegetable Center Genebank to meet the hunters and gatherers of the planet’s edible plants; Manuela Callari and Mark Pesce look at two innovations in medical research – the quest to restore sight, and the use of AI in clinical diagnoses; and everyone’s favourite meteorologist Nate Byrne unpacks the new words coined to explain our changing weather. Join us to look toward the horizon of the future.

The world is changing and Issue 101 is here to ask the burning questions: How did we get here, where are we going, and how can science guide us to make the right choices? Bianca Nogrady charts the way data is helping Australia negotiate its relationship with fire; Clare Watson takes a hard look at Big Pharma and explores alternative drug development initiatives that put people over profit; and up in Arnhem Land David Hancock finds a collaboration between Western science and First Nations knowledge that is restoring country – and rediscovering species. Meanwhile, a kaleidoscope of other science stories crunch the numbers on maths education, navigate the history of vectors, walk both sides of Goyder’s Line, and much more. Join us – this issue is an adventure.
