A persistent quantum computing error finally explained

by quasarn01 | May 6, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Scientists have discovered the cause of a persistent glitch that continues to disrupt superconducting quantum computers, even when they have built-in defenses. For all their advanced hardware, superconducting quantum computers are vulnerable to errors caused by...

On the ground or in the atmosphere? Swarm satellites help characterize and pinpoint destructive events

by quasarn01 | May 6, 2026 | Astronomy

When solar storms strike Earth, they can disrupt power grids, rail systems, satellites, and even marine life. These effects arise because solar wind and geomagnetic activity disturb the magnetosphere–ionosphere system, generating electric and magnetic field variations...

Space junk falls to Earth faster when sunspots peak, reshaping satellite collision forecasts

by quasarn01 | May 6, 2026 | Astronomy

Solar emissions exert ‘drag’ on space junk orbiting Earth. From historical measurements across a period of 36 years, researchers have now shown that space junk begins to fall down much faster once the sun’s activity across the solar cycle reaches...
