IEEE Spectrum is the flagship magazine and website of the IEEE, the world’s largest professional organization for engineers and technologists. Spectrum’s print edition is sent monthly to the IEEE’s 400,000 members. The website posts a daily mix of articles, blog posts, and multimedia, attracting about 1 million visitors a month. Our mission: to keep people informed about major developments in technology, engineering, and science. Our readers want complex concepts explained in plain, jargon-free language, with details they can’t get elsewhere. They count on Spectrum for thoughtful discussion of technology’s social impacts as well as expert analysis of trends and cutting-edge research.
IEEE Spectrum excels in delivering high-quality journalism across various media. The October 2024 issue features articles like "Ukraine's Sea Drones Revise Naval Warfare" by Bryan Clark, which connects technological innovations with geopolitical implications, and "Powering Taiwan's Silicon Shield" by Peter Fairley, which makes complex energy and geopolitical issues accessible. The issue also includes "How to Make TV Screens Disappear" by Alfred Poor and "Challengers Are Coming for Nvidia's Crown" by Mathew S. Smith, showcasing the magazine's ability to explain cutting-edge technology.
The online edition, spectrum.ieee.org, offers timely news and interactive features, enhancing the reader experience with multimedia elements. Robotsguide.com serves as a comprehensive resource for robotics, reflecting the publication's commitment to niche areas of technology. The Spectrum podcast episode "The Brain Implant that Sidesteps the Competition" translates complex topics into engaging audio content, featuring expert interviews and in-depth analysis.
