We have subscrined to New Scientist for years, but each year it gts harder to justify, they increase the subscription price 30+% each year ( they are now asking $130+ a year or $99 for a new subscriber), it's an in depth weekly science round upm which is great excpet that delivery is unreliable, and we are generally too busy to keep up with them every week.

So I am shopping for alternatives, I see Popular Science and Scientific American, both monthly and $12 - $20 for year !

Are there other Science magazines to consider, anybody any with experience to compare and contrast these two?

We are looking for pretty hard science content, Popular Sciences web page has articles on Graphene and 3D printing, both topics of interest in the house so that's probably winning.

I see 'Science' but can't even find the subscription price and it seems focussed on Libraries so I'm guessing not.
