Popular Science is an American monthly magazine founded in 1872 carrying articles for the general reader on science and technology subjects. Popular Science is a general interest magazine with a focus on science and technology. Popular Science won ASME awards for its journalistic excellence in both 2003 (for General Excellence) and 2004 (for Best Magazine Section).

From 1935 to 1949, the magazine sponsored a series of short films, produced by Jerry Fairbanks and released by Paramount Pictures.

On January 25, 2007, Time Warner sold this magazine, along with 17 other special interest magazines, to Bonnier Magazine Group.[1]

Mark Jannot is the editor in the US edition.

Popular Science has a Spanish version from April 21, 2008, whose editor is José Manuel Abad Liñán.

PPX

In July 2007, Popular Science launched PPX, the Popular Science Predictions EXchange. Here, people could place virtual bets as to what the next innovations in technology, the environment and science would be. The system of the PPX is based on the ability of wagers to predict the future. Bets include whether Facebook would have an IPO by 2008, the launch of a touchscreen iPod and whether China's eco-city, Dongtan would be inhabited by 2010. So far, the touchscreen iPod has proved the ability of the exchange to predict technology trends.
