The promise of quantum computing is to solve complex problems faster and more energy-efficiently than today’s supercomputers—from optimizing logistics to simulating molecules. This goal is coming within reach as the number of qubits—the computational units of...
A scientific team led by Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, has identified the origin of a mysterious excess of low-energy gamma rays emitted by the nucleus zinc-70. They found that the excess is caused by magnetic transitions within the nucleus. The study,...
Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons, has long fascinated scientists because of what may lie beneath its frozen shell: a global ocean of liquid water. That hidden ocean has made Europa one of the most compelling places in the solar system to study the conditions...
A careful statistical comparison of observations recorded by NASA’s Juno mission and the Planetary Science Institute’s Io Input Output observatory (IoIO) shows that IoIO observations reliably predict the density of Jupiter’s plasma disk, an important...
