Hm.. This is the first time I saw just one comment out-grayed, while the user was left in gray...

I don't know if you would consider it science in the traditional sense, but as a computer scientist myself I was surprise at how well Computer Chess captures how real AI works (oh god, so far from other fiction...) and the AI scene back in the 80's.
It may be a pain, but if you weren't subjected to the horrific .gif posters let me stress how bad they were and something drastic had to be done. Click on an article about cute kittens being cute and confronted with multiple violent rape porn/pictures of violence or bodies, etc. I hate this grey system, but it's a…
Timescape. I don't know of another SF work with a more grounded depiction of actual research.
Since I can't edit the original post a few edits:
The Andromeda Strain introduced me to the idea of pandemics and killer viruses. The enemy wasn't something exotic or otherworldly, simply an unknown but deadly biological agent. At the core of the story was a logic puzzle: what did the only survivors of a plague — a baby and an old man — have in common that allowed…
During this weekend's Dragon Con, we at io9 have been collaborating with the Electronic Frontier Foundation as…
The way the Marvel Cinematic Universe carries on, you'd think the Tessaract is the most powerful item in existence.…
It seems impossible that Hayao Miyazaki has won only one Academy Award over his lengthy career — for Spirited Away —…

Jiggly, wiggly, and eminently GIFable, this vaguely obscene slo-mo footage of bouncing water balloons is sure to…
It isn't always easy for reporters to convey complex scientific theories to a broad audience when they have a…
It's not just the myth about autism that's driving down vaccination rates. Many parents believe that as long as most…
Superb lyrebirds have the ability to mimic any sounds from their environment, including chainsaws, toy laser guns,…
I think the plan is for Channing Tatum's Gambit to fill the void of Jackman's eventual departure. I'd love to see a reboot of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm. X-men comics are having a lot of success with a young team of the original X-men in the present (through time travel) and that might influence the movie. And…
A valid argument, but you also might argue the most potent relationship in that triangle is between Scott and Logan. There was, as you state, a competition between the two, but also a grudging respect and intense jealousy (each one wanted to be little bit like the other). They've even switched places, to a degree,…
I'd be happy with well balanced ensembles, like I see in Serenity, Avengers and GOTG.
That was so far overdone that I wanted to punch my TV in the Wolverine.
