**Live Science** is a prominent science news website dedicated to informing and entertaining readers about a broad spectrum of scientific topics such as space, animals, health, archaeology, human behavior, and Earth sciences. Founded in 2004, it has grown to become a trusted source for accessible science news and intriguing scientific stories that often highlight lesser-known studies[1][6]. The organization’s history includes key acquisitions which helped expand and solidify its presence. In 2009, Live Science was acquired by TechMediaNetwork, later renamed Purch, a digital media company focused on consumer technology brands. Subsequently, in 2018, Purch’s consumer brands, including Live Science, were acquired by Future plc, a UK-based media company with a strong portfolio in technology and science publishing[1]. This transition brought enhanced resources and a wider audience reach. Live Science is notable for its journalistic approach of delivering fast-paced, engaging science stories primarily produced by a young, journalism-trained staff. Its strength lies in presenting a diverse range of quirky and offbeat scientific content, which complements coverage of major science news[1]. The site also offers interactive elements such as quizzes, crossword puzzles, and photo galleries that make science engaging and accessible to a broad audience[6]. Over the years, Live Science has received several accolades, including the 2007 Online Journalism Award for Specialty Site Journalism (Large) and recognition by the Webby Awards in 2008 and 2010. It has also consistently ranked among the top science websites, as noted by RealClearScience from 2016 through 2023 and the tech site Make Use Of in 2021[1]. Currently, Live Science operates as a key digital platform under Future plc, continuing to deliver daily updates on scientific discoveries and breakthroughs. Its commitment to blending credible scientific journalism with engaging storytelling makes it a valuable resource for readers interested in business, technology, and science news[1][6].
