Description: Scientific American is an American popular science magazine. Many famous scientists, including Albert Einstein, have contributed articles to it. It has been in print since 1845 and it is the oldest continuously published monthly magazine in the United States. The 82-page December 2019 issues' cover story is: TOP 10 EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES OF 2019 - A collaboration between Scientific American and the World Economic Forum. Other featured articles include: SECURITY - GPS Down - Hacking the system we all rely on is not difficult, and the U.S. has no defense in place. CONSCIOUSNESS - Proust among the Machines - Within our lifetimes, computers could approach human-level intelligence. But will they consciously experience the world? PHYSICS - Escape from a Black Hole - New observations could find clues about how information can break free from a black hole, rescuing the principles of quantum mechanics. PALEOANTHROPOLOGY - A Face from Deep Time - A long-sought fossil cranium could redraw the human family tree. GEOSCIENCE - Fire Tornadoes - Researchers are getting closer to predicting when and where these lethal phenomena will appear. ASTRONOMY - X-ray Vision - After two decades in space, the world's leading x-ray telescope-the Chandra Observatory-is still revealing new secrets of the cosmos. From the Editor Letters Science Agenda - The most effective climate action requires us to both adapt and mitigate. Forum - Genital mutilation is nothing more than violence against women and girls. Advances - An ultraprecise proton measurement. A color revealing algorithm for deep underwater. Precise angles unmasking stationary prey.
