@science: science news, explained sharply
A large English-language channel on fresh research in biology, physics, space and AI, where each post is a short explainer with context.
What it is
Science in telegram (@science) is an English-language Telegram channel about science and technology: AI, space, biotech, physics and future tech. The format is consistent — an emoji-tagged headline followed by a handful of short paragraphs on what researchers actually did and why it matters. Short videos and quick one-liners sit between the longer explainers.
Why we picked it
The posts are written, not lifted from press releases. A story on quantum entanglement in Higgs boson decays opens with Einstein's "spooky action at a distance" before getting to the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. A post on the newborn planet WISPIT 2b first explains why planet formation is so hard to observe, then shows what astronomers managed to see with the ALMA radio telescope.
The range is wide, but every post is about a specific result. In one scroll you'll find about 950 AI agents spending 21 hours sifting more than 200,000 enzymes from DNA databases, DeepMind's atlas of predictions for roughly 9 billion possible single-letter mutations in the human genome, a hard-to-explain event in the LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detector, and new Denisovan finds in southern China. Robots show up too — from humanoids built on a largely automated production line to autonomous robot fights.
Where to start
- Read the Higgs entanglement explainer to see how the channel handles tough physics.
- Try the post on AI agents discovering unknown enzymes — it's as much about how science is changing as about biology.
- If space is your thing, start with the WISPIT 2b planet story.
- Skim a week of posts and use the emoji as a map: 🧬 for biology, 🌌 and 🪐 for space, ⚛️ for physics.
Who it's for
People who want a science news channel that explains one real discovery at a time instead of firing off headlines. The writing is plain and light on jargon, so it works for curious non-specialists, students and anyone who likes to know what's behind a science headline before it hits the mainstream feeds.
Quick answers
What language is the channel in? English.
How often does it post? Judging by the feed, most days, sometimes several times a day.
Can I read it without Telegram? Yes. The web preview at t.me/s/science opens in any browser, no account needed.
