Popular Science is an American monthly magazine founded in 1872 carrying articles for the general reader on science and technology subjects. Published by Time Inc., it is especially well known for its What's New section, which highlights several recent advances in technology each month. Since March 2004, it also contains the highly-praised "How 2.0," which allows the average American to, for example, melt tungsten or customize PDAs. It has a newstand price of $3.99 in the US and $4.99 in Canada. The subscription cost per issue is between $0.91 and $1.33.

Popular Science has been criticized for wildly overestimating the availability or practicality of scientific advances, sometimes taking the claims of a technology's advocates at face value without criticism.
