For math Quanta (RSS)

For general science I like Knowable Magazine (RSS)

Both are pretty accessible but fairly meaty, hopefully that's what you're after. Ars Technica has some lighter stuff.

mander.xyz is lemmy, so I don't know if it counts, but the local comms are all science oriented and have science articles. The server is supposed to be life-sciences oriented, but I think the space comm is one of the largest.
