A regular roundup of the latest science news explained in plain language for readers without a science background.
Every Monday at 09:00, send me an issue of up to 10 items with science news and new discovery or research finding, plus at least one of explained, for general readers, plain language, what it means, study finds or breakthrough. Skip dense technical papers with no plain-language summary or pseudoscience, miracle cures or unverified health claims. Keep but flag press-release hype claiming a breakthrough without independent evidence or paywalled articles. Search the open web, including https://www.sciencenews.org, https://www.quantamagazine.org, https://www.newscientist.com, https://www.livescience.com, https://www.nature.com/news and https://www.sciencedaily.com. Matching is balanced. Anyone can find and subscribe to it in Discover.

Real progress on the six open Millennium Prize Problems — the Riemann hypothesis, P vs NP, Navier–Stokes, Yang–Mills, Hodge and Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer: serious papers, partial results, AI-assisted advances, and what experts say about claimed solutions.
Where the P vs NP question stands: circuit and proof-complexity lower bounds, barriers, meta-complexity, geometric complexity theory, new reductions and hardness results, and how the community reads each claimed proof.
Progress in quantum hardware and error correction — experiments on real devices, not just proposals.
