This year brings 22 more in-your-face stories that break boundaries and trash taboos, transgressive tales you can't "unread" (as Chuck Palahniuk says). Some of the stories you'll find here are loaded with very graphic descriptions of violence, sex, and depravities, while others may contain only one shocking moment of brutality.

Every young boy dreams about growing up to be his vision of a man, but what does that look like? What is manhood, really, and how do guys get there?

We may imagine that science is a process of breakthroughs and light bulb moments. But in reality, science goes wrong 99% of the time. Almost every idea a scientist comes up with is quickly disproved by a failed experiment or rival research. Science moves at a rate of inches per decade and we like it that way. But occasionally, just occasionally, a complete fluke happens and changes everything. This is a rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, accidentally changing humanity for the better.

A química não é um assunto abstrato que só acontece em laboratórios: ela está em toda parte. E, se você quer entender como o mundo funciona, o segredo está na tabela periódica — é o que Elementar nos mostra.

Mas ela nada mais é do que uma lista de ingredientes, na qual se encontram as substâncias mais puras que constituem tudo: da beterraba às bicicletas.

What is real? In doing this study, I asked God to confirm The Book of Mormon to me. Instead, he started revealing its falsehood to me. When I study the Bible, I go into it with God.
