Science, at every scale.
Quanta turns papers from leading open-access journals into short, plain-language reads you swipe through, one paper per card, plus short narrated films called Leaps.
One paper per card.
Each card shows the paper's fields, title, journal and DOI, then the gist in a sentence or two. Swipe up for the next one.
The cards in this phone are real, loaded from the same list the app reads.

Start with the gist. Read more for the extended summary, then the technical summary: the whole study in four labelled parts.

Watch a Leap.
Leaps are short narrated films, each made from one paper and a little over a minute long. Tap the title in the app to pull up the paper while it plays.
This one is streaming from the app's own library.
How a summary is made.
Chosen
Papers come from leading open-access journals, so anyone can read the original.
Written
An AI model reads the full paper and writes the summary at three depths, with a glossary for the hard words.
Reviewed
Separate AI reviewers check it against the full paper for accuracy, scientific completeness, plain language and fairness.
Linked
Every card names the authors and journal and links the original paper.
AI can still make mistakes, so the original is always one tap away. Spot an error? Report it from the card.
