主编完成上任后第一个完整年度之际,文章强调在科学与新闻业接连遭遇危机时仍要展现韧性与坚持。除了每周三次的例行报导,团队推动多个特刊式专题:首个《The Unraveling of Space-Time》获国家杂志奖;4 月推出 AI 主题《Science, Promise and Peril in the Age of AI》;最新《How We Came To Know Earth》希望改变人们对气候的思考方式。

Quanta 也推出每周更新的音频节目 The Quanta Podcast,并预告接下来几周的电子报将回顾过去一年亮点。2026 年将带来更多尝试:新增随笔系列、让读者更容易找到感兴趣的文章,并推出关于现代数学基础的新专题。核心承诺是持续每周提供拓展视野的内容,免费且无广告或灌水,同时感谢各类读者与支持者。

In 2025, Quanta ranged from mountaintops and polar ice to the Planck length and the most distant observable objects, pairing approachable puzzles with breakthroughs like 40-year-old conjectures overturned by young students. It presents curiosity-driven science and mathematics through the people behind it, aiming to make complex ideas accessible.

In the editor in chief’s first full year, the magazine emphasizes resilience amid repeated crises affecting both science and journalism. Alongside thrice-weekly stories, it built special projects: “The Unraveling of Space-Time” won a National Magazine Award; in April it launched “Science, Promise and Peril in the Age of AI”; and the latest issue, “How We Came To Know Earth,” aims to reshape how readers think about climate.

Quanta also launched The Quanta Podcast as a weekly discussion with writers and editors, and newsletters will recap the past year over the next couple of weeks. More experimentation is planned for 2026, including a new essay series, easier story discovery, and a special project on the foundations of modern mathematics. The promise is mind-expanding coverage week after week—free, with no ads or filler, backed by an engaged audience.
