Do a search on “the most popular kinds of non-fiction” and you will see that science is not very popular.
Subscription magazines want subscribers.

With a laboratory-size plasma ‘sun’ operating here and patent holders seeking investors, China will decide whether they want to spend more to make a nuclear fusion ‘sun’ when previous attempts have failed.
