scinexx.de media bias and reliability
scinexx.de is held by the ratings provider we draw on, and no rater has placed it on the political spectrum. We have seen it on 16 published stories of ours.
The short answers
Is scinexx.de biased?
scinexx.de is held by the ratings provider we draw on, and no rater has placed it on the political spectrum. An outlet rating describes a broad pattern in its output, not every article it publishes.
Is scinexx.de left or right?
scinexx.de is held by the ratings provider we draw on, and no rater has placed it on the political spectrum.
Is scinexx.de reliable?
We do not hold a factual-reliability assessment for scinexx.de. A political-leaning label would not answer that question on its own, so we do not infer reliability from left, centre or right.
What scinexx.de has been covering
Our account of each story, written from every outlet that ran it, with scinexx.de’s own report linked underneath.
A planet described as a gas giant has been discovered orbiting a white dwarf star approximately 250 light-years away. This 'second-generation' planet is believed to have formed from material expelled by its dying star, offering new insights into planet formation.

A new dinosaur species, Invictibellatrix amberina, has been identified from a fossil found on the Isle of Wight. The long-clawed predator, which lived 120 million years ago, is the first evidence of megaraptorans in Europe and may have viewed humans as prey.

NASA's Perseverance rover has set a new record for the farthest distance driven on the surface of another planet, covering 45.22 kilometers (28.1 miles) on Mars. The mission has been extended until the end of 2028.

A report published in The Lancet has identified 17 major threats to human survival by the year 2100. Malicious use of artificial intelligence and nuclear conflict are highlighted as the most significant dangers, alongside issues like climate change, obesity, and pandemics.

A giant cloud near Mars' Arsia Mons volcano forms daily through a process called homogeneous nucleation, where water vapor turns directly into ice. This method has never been observed in a planetary atmosphere before, challenging previous assumptions about cloud formation.

Two independent teams have created the first functional nuclear clocks, which track changes within an atom's nucleus. These clocks, using thorium-229, are significantly more accurate than current atomic clocks and could lead to advances in navigation, mining, and physics research.

Paleontologists have identified Herugavialis cairensis, a new species of extinct crocodile, from 45-million-year-old fossils found in Egypt's Mokattam Formation. The limestone used for the Great Sphinx was quarried from this formation, and a key fossil skull shares a missing snout tip with the monument.

Research from Oxford University suggests animals may have evolved up to 200 million years earlier than fossil evidence currently shows. The study re-examined microfossil deposits and used molecular clock analysis to propose an earlier origin for animal life.

A global study published in The Lancet Oncology estimates that infections caused 2.3 million new cancer cases in 2024, representing 12% of all new cases. Helicobacter pylori and human papillomavirus were identified as the leading causes, each linked to approximately 750,000 to 760,000 cases.

Researchers have demonstrated that certain microorganisms can survive in simulated conditions of Enceladus's subsurface ocean. The study, published in 'Science Advances', recreated the moon's ocean floor chemistry in a lab, using archaea that consume hydrogen and produce methane, suggesting Enceladus's geochemistry may be more favourable for life than previously thought.

A new report from the Climate Impact Lab estimates that the current El Niño event could lead to 451,000 additional heat-related deaths worldwide between September 2026 and February 2027. India is projected to experience 15,800 of these deaths.

For the first time, astronomers have detected radio signals directly from an exoplanet, Beta Pictoris b, located 63.4 light-years away. The signals, likely from the planet's aurora, suggest a powerful magnetic field, offering new insights into planetary environments beyond our solar system.

Stanford University scientists have found that the human brain develops from two distinct progenitor cell populations, suggesting an evolutionary merging of two ancient nervous systems. This discovery could aid research into neurological diseases.

Astronomers have confirmed Elias 2-24 b as the youngest exoplanet discovered to date, with an age of less than one million years. The Jupiter-sized planet, located 450 light-years away, is still within its natal disk of dust and gas, prompting a re-evaluation of planet-formation models.

A major scientific report indicates Greenland and Antarctica have lost between 11.3 and 12.5 trillion tons of ice since 1979. This loss has contributed to a global sea level rise of approximately 3 to 3.14 centimeters, primarily driven by accelerated glacier flow into the ocean.

Analysis of prehistoric human remains from Indonesia has revealed evidence of habitual drug use dating back approximately 25,000 years. This predates agriculture and suggests humans may have been consuming psychoactive substances much earlier than previously understood.

Who says so
No rating organisation we draw on has placed scinexx.de. We asked on 3 October 2026.
How reliably it reports fact
A rating of the newsroom in general, by others, and a different thing from the Trust score we publish on each story, which judges one piece of reporting.
We hold no factual-reliability rating for this outlet.
Who owns it
We hold no ownership record for scinexx.de.

What we have seen ourselves
Counted across the stories this site has published, which is the only denominator a reader can check: every one of them has a page, and every page lists the reports it was written from.

16 of those reports were paywalled or blocked to us. Our reading of this outlet is built on the 0 we could open, not on everything it published.
A blindspot is measured against one side of the spectrum. scinexx.de has not been placed on the spectrum, so there is no side to count against and we publish no figure here.
Across the 16 stories of ours where at least three of the reports we listed carried a time, another outlet was always ahead of scinexx.de: its report arrived a median of 21 hours after the earliest one we logged.
Measured 19 October 2026. Last seen in a coverage list 19 October 2026. Ratings pulled 3 October 2026.
Think this page is wrong?
The leanings above are published by AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check, and we republish them rather than make them. If you think one is misapplied, the strongest place to say so is with the organisation that made it, and every verdict here links to their page.
What we are responsible for is everything else: the ownership chain, where scinexx.de publishes from, which of our stories we have listed it on, and whether we have the right publisher at all. Tell us what is wrong and an editor reads it.
Report something wrong on this page
Anything we correct is written up in the public corrections log. We do not publish reader votes as a rating, because an unattributed rating is the thing this site exists to argue against.
Every rating on this page is a named third party’s published work, republished with its author and, where one exists, a link to it. Our own coverage record is the section we measure ourselves. Neither is a judgement of any individual report: those are scored story by story, and the reasoning is on our methodology page.
