Stealth bombers, hypersonic aircraft, deep-sea neutrino detectors and Mars rovers: the Science section covers military technology alongside space, physics and archaeology research, explained for curious readers.

Articles look at the cost and deterrent value of the stealth bomber, a supersonic plane spotted on Google Earth, and metal-cutting drones from China. Research stories cover a Chinese deep-sea detector hunting ghostly neutrinos and a European Mars rover built to drill deeper than before.
Archaeology occasionally appears too, such as a newly found fortress in the Sinai. With several hundred pieces, the section works best by topic: aviation, drones, space, or ancient history. Readers interested in how military technology evolves should start with the aircraft profiles. Space and physics stories offer a lighter entry point.
