In this latest issue, we look at the history and future of science. We revisit the events that made Albert Einstein a global superstar and examine the day NASA's space station came crashing down. Looking ahead, in-depth reports into two of the most exciting fields in current research: human hibernation and quantum biology, will give you plenty to ponder.

In this issue, we visit leading labs to witness the astonishing and fast-paced global collaboration to find a COVID-19 cure; look at the maths of lockdown modelling; show you how to make your own DIY telescope to listen to the Milky Way, discover how bats stay forever young – and whether we can too; and enjoy a wealth of science to make, watch and do in these socially distant times.

Ready for some discovery? Cosmos Issue 86 will introduce you to the Internet of Disposal Things, the lost women of Australian astronomy, the ethical minefield of bioengineering embryo-like structures, and the art of teaching physics to Tibetan monks. It’s also eyes to the sky to look at clouds, why we need so many satellites and how birds are catching illegal fishing. 

Summer reading - sorted! Cosmos Issue 85 explores travelling to new worlds. Meet the new Australian species being discovered near you every single day. Go behind the scenes at the Large Hadron Collider. Ski with science instead of snow. Plus, summer fun: tennis technology, the science of fireworks and the Star Wars Phantom Menace that dwells within us all. 

Peer down the microscope in the latest issue of Cosmos. Meet the human cyborg who 'hears’ colour. Go wild with wolf packs and the researchers battling to protect them. Learn how a synchrotron – a mini Large Hadron Collider – helps palaeontologists see through stone to new discoveries. And take a pictorial jaunt around Scotland's Orkney islands, a megawatt success story for sustainable electricity generation.
