A new study reveals a software strategy to reduce cosmic ray-induced errors in superconducting quantum computers by nearly a half-million-fold, bringing failure rates from every 10 seconds down to less than once per month.
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.
