The Nautilus Vibe
Nautilus is the foremost literary science publication to find rigorous science writing told with impeccable style. Our stories will light up your emotions, and introduce you to a delightfully weird and surprising mix of big ideas — ideas that will be debated long into the future.
It’s why some of the most well-regarded scientific minds in the world read and write for Nautilus. Contributors include literary giants like the late Cormac McCarthy — who published the only nonfiction piece of his career in Nautilus — as well as Caleb Scharf, Senior Scientist for Astrobiology at NASA Ames Research Center, who regularly shares his reflections on our place in the universe.
Alongside storytelling, Nautilus is bursting with with original artwork and illustrations, which have made the magazine a winner of ASME Best Style and Design Award. You simply will not find more beautiful and creative interpretations of scientific subjects — in words, in art, and in vibes.
