Strengthening the scientific record.

Science is a social process. Discoveries-even by supposed "lone" geniuses-do not become knowledge until the findings are shared with the scientific community, to be vetted, challenged, and expanded on. Since the birth of the digital age, this discourse has become much more apparent, as communication outlets such as social media, blogs, and websites such as PubPeer and Retraction Watch allow the scientific community to discuss new findings. Further, the availability of greater amounts of data that support findings allows peers to redo key analyses to confirm or report discrepancies. This week, Science is announcing two changes-one to accelerate the conversation about papers and another to ease deposition of supporting data-that will facilitate the evaluation of research findings across the wide scientific enterprise.

Energy in 2023.

The new year 2023 arrives with promising developments in fusion research. In December, scientists at the US National Ignition Facility (NIF) focused 2.05 megajoules of laser light onto a capsule of fusion fuel and produced 3.15 megajoules of energy. This was the first laser-driven fusion demonstration in which the reaction produced more energy than the laser light used to start it-a goal set for NIF at its founding. Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist Anne White, who was not involved in the work, described it to Science as "a major breakthrough." After a year of ups and downs in science policy and research, this was the kind of exciting event needed to propel scientists into the promises of 2023.
