Researchers are developing a new understanding of lightning initiation, finding that high-energy processes typically associated with supernovas and particle colliders may play a critical role in how lightning bolts form. Scientists like Joseph Dwyer have applied astrophysics instruments to thunderstorm research, revealing X-rays, gamma rays, and unexpected bolt directions.
Stargazer introduces a scalable benchmark environment with 120 astrophysics tasks to evaluate AI agents on physics-grounded model-fitting of radial-velocity data, revealing gaps between statistical optimization and physical constraint adherence.
