The AIRchives

Back issues

• THE MAGAZINE: Tables of contents, covers, and some articles from every issue of the 6-issues-a-year print magazine Annals of Improbable Research. (And a free sample issue!)
• THE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER: mini-AIR, our little e-mail newsletter, contains improbable research news that's are too tiny to fit in the magazine. (To add yourself to the (free!) mini-AIR distribution list, follow these nearly simple instructions)
• THIS WEB SITE: That's what you're looking at right now. Every week, we add several new featured items (for a list of them, see What's New)
• THE NEWSPAPER COLUMN: Our editor's weekly column, called "Improbable Research," appears every Tuesday in the British newspaper The Guardian

Other things produced by the AIRheads

• THE IG NOBEL PRIZES
• CLASSICS: some favorite articles from the magazine, and some additional classics by the founders and editors of AIR

  HotAIR would like to thank the men and women of science without whom these awards would have been impossible. If we have seen further, it is because we are standing on the toes of giants.
