I remember watching Ben Shelton practice ahead of last year’s #USOpen and thinking this kid is going to be something special. His was the only autograph I asked for.

FSG is pleased to announce the launch of Quanta Books, a partnership imprint led by Thomas Lin, the founding editor of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Quanta Magazine. quantabooks.org

🚨New book announcement!🚨 Kevin Hartnett's THE PROOF IN THE CODE (coming 2026) tells the gripping story of the birth and rise of Lean, a Microsoft program transforming the world of mathematics. A timely challenge to our assumptions about who–or what–can do math.

How cool is the illustration featured on the Quanta Books website? Big thanks to the great Peter Greenwood, who was fun to collaborate with and whose visually arresting designs also grace Quanta Magazine's JOY OF WHY podcast. quantabooks.org

I'm excited to share that my book, "The Proof in the Code," will be the first title released by Quanta Books, a new imprint from fsg_books and Simons Foundation. It's the story of how Lean is transforming math research. Coming Spring 2026.

As I said in a recent lecture, LaTeX got what I call the "Knuth factor" -- the ratio of the amount of time it takes to LaTeX a paper vs write it by hand and ask a secretary to typeset -- below 1; so everybody switched voluntarily, no coercion needed. Similarly, once the de

Amid tech hype around LLMs and AGI, researchers are uncovering the limits of transformer-based reasoning. As Anil Ananthaswamy reports in Quanta Magazine, recent findings suggest that transformers lack the “capability of composition.” quantamagazine.org/chatbot-softwa…

Advance in automated math proofs (Lean) from Princeton PLI and collaborators. Better than Deepseek-Prover 1.5 --and currently we use only SFT, no RL! (RL version forthcoming). Planned release: dataset of 1.78M formalized proofs to turbocharge open efforts. Key idea:

Meet Quanta Books, a New Imprint Dedicated to Illuminating Science: sciencewriting.substack.com/p/science-writ… Launched by Thomas Lin, the founding editor of Quanta Magazine, in partnership with Farrar,Straus&Giroux, Quanta Books is an editorially independent subsidiary of the Simons Foundation. #scicomm

We’ll be AAAS Annual Meeting in Boston this week—will you? If you have a great science book idea or want to learn more, reach out at info[at]quantabooks.org. #AAASmtg

Announcing again: 🚨We’re open for submissions! 🚨 As part of our mission to demystify publishing and to develop exceptional science books, we welcome queries and submissions from scientists, mathematicians, and science writers, whether you have an agent or not.

Feels amazing for Quanta Books to join the Farrar,Straus&Giroux family of imprints -- and how cool is it that we get to sit next to ?st's AUWA Books?

Congrats to @quantamagazine's new editor in chief Samir S. Patel, Natalie Wolchover, Michael Moyer, Charlie Wood, and the entire team for winning another asme1963 National Magazine Award!! asme.memberclicks.net/american-socie…

April 26 is #independentbookstore Day. Support your local bookstore, on whichever planet you live.

Due to a special promotion, today you can get the e-book edition of ALICE AND BOB MEET THE WALL OF FIRE, Quanta Magazine's anthology of best science stories from 2012-2017 (published by The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social) for only $1.99. amazon.com/Alice-Bob-Meet…

Teenager Hannah Cairo's recent proof of a major problem in harmonic analysis is the most amazing—and moving—story I've covered in more than a decade as a math journalist.

Pretty cool that they’re still carrying ALICE AND BOB MEET THE WALL OF FIRE at Powell's Books in Portland. I meant to sign it “Photons = quanta of light” but signed it “Quanta = photons of light” instead. Doh! I blame vacation brain.
