Nautilus Magazine, which launched in April of 2013, positions itself as "science, connected." While the opulent print quarterly costs $49 a year, the online iteration is accessible free of charge. Here's how it works: each month, the editors of Nautilus choose a single topic. Previous issues have focused on creativity, illusions, and genius. Then the magazine publishes a "chapter" each Thursday on that topic. Unlike other science magazines, which often stick to breaking the latest research and leave it at that, Nautilus publishes essays, investigative reports, blogs, and even fiction. They post games, videos, and graphic stories. The site is intuitive and easy to navigate. Back issues can be located under the Issues tab. Otherwise, readers may simply click the well-displayed and visually pleasing articles and chapters that appear on the homepage.
