Also known as: sci
The Big 8 branch for the sciences, holding groups such as sci.physics, sci.math, sci.astro, and sci.crypt. It drew working researchers and graduate students, and some archived threads are still cited decades later. Traffic fell away once preprint servers and specialist mailing lists became normal. As with every Big 8 branch, sci.* is text only and has no binary groups beneath it.
