The Asimov Prize aims to bring younger generations closer to science through the critical reading of popular science works. It has cultural, non-profit objectives and no specific allocated funds.
An open platform for sharing research. Pioneer of digital open access, arXiv.org now hosts more than two million scientific articles in eight thematic areas, curated by a community of volunteer moderators.
A community that helps researchers share and find accurate academic information in high-energy physics.
The solution for identifying material properties and gaining fast, reliable insights to accelerate materials science research.
