After 151 years, Popular Science will no longer be available as a magazine, as its owner, Recurrent Ventures, aims to "evolve" beyond the print format. The magazine had already transitioned to a quarterly publication schedule in 2018 and ceased physical copies in 2020. Layoffs have affected the science journalism field, with National Geographic, Gizmodo, and CNBC also making cuts. PopSci will continue to offer articles on its website and through its PopSci Plus subscription, but the discontinuation of the magazine marks the end of an era for the publication.
