What’s going on inside quantum computers? New method simplifies process tomography

Quantum computers work by applying quantum operations, such as quantum gates, to delicate quantum states. Ideally, quantum computers can solve complex equations at staggeringly fast speeds that vastly outpace regular computers. In real hardware, the operations of quantum computers often deviate from the ideal behavior because of device imperfections and unwanted noise from the environment. To build reliable quantum machines, researchers need a way to accurately determine what a quantum device is actually doing.

Debugging a quantum processor: New method pinpoints qubit errors during logical operations

Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, together with partners from Sydney and Waterloo, have presented a new diagnostic method for quantum computers. It makes errors in individual quantum bits visible during logical calculation and evaluates them. The new method was demonstrated on an ion trap quantum processor in Innsbruck. It can be used to identify critical error sources—a key to developing more robust, fault-tolerant quantum processors.

Female astronauts face clotting risks, five-day weightlessness simulation suggests

Just a few days in simulated microgravity can subtly change the way women’s blood clots, sparking bigger questions about health monitoring protocols for astronauts who can spend six months or more in orbit, say Simon Fraser University researchers. First reported in 2020, an International Space Station mission detected an unexpected blood clot in a female astronaut’s jugular vein. To date, space-health research has had more male participants, but with the number of female astronauts on the rise, a new SFU–European Space Agency study examined how microgravity affects blood clotting specifically in women.

SWOT satellite takes stock of world’s river water

In a first, a space mission led by NASA and France has tracked Earth’s rivers swelling and shrinking from month to month over the course of a year and found significantly less of a swing than previous model-based estimates. A record drought in the Amazon likely influenced the tally made by the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite. The findings also reveal new details about the underwater topography of the world’s river channels.

Most compact quadruple star system yet fits within an area the size of Jupiter’s orbit

Astronomers have reported observations of a rare star system consisting of one star orbiting a system of three more tightly bound stars. This quadruple star system is described in a new study, published in Nature Communications, as the most compact quadruple star system observed to date, with all four stars fitting into an area the size of Jupiter’s orbit.

NA62 Collaboration refines measurement of rare particle decay

The NA62 Collaboration has dramatically reduced the uncertainty in its measurement of an extremely rare particle decay, in results just presented at the 2026 La Thuile conference.

‘I would have killed them all’: Fla. sheriff says suspect who wounded deputy ran out of ammo

Deputy Jose Rivera was struck near his body-worn camera, which may have altered the trajectory of one bullet, Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood said

The new directive bars masks intended to conceal identity while permitting use for safety, health and weather-related reasons

Mars Express orbiter captures craters on planet’s Arabia Terra

Craters, craters, and yet more craters: this snapshot from ESA’s Mars Express is packed full of them, each as fascinating as the last.

Artemis II: What’s on the menu?

The food flying aboard Artemis II is designed to support crew health and performance during the mission around the moon. With no resupply, refrigeration, or late-load capability, all meals must be carefully selected to remain safe, shelf-stable, and easy to prepare and consume in NASA’s Orion spacecraft. Food selections are developed in coordination with space food experts and the crew to balance calorie needs, hydration, and nutrient intake while accommodating individual crew preferences.

JWST reveals surprising secrets in Jupiter’s northern lights

An international team of scientists, led by a Ph.D. researcher from Northumbria University, has made further discoveries about a spectacular feature of Jupiter’s northern lights, revealing a never-before-seen temperature structure and dramatic density changes within the top of the giant planet’s atmosphere.

Möbius-inspired surface controls light in two directions

Light is an unusually rich carrier of information. Its direction of travel, wavelength, and polarization can all be used to encode signals or images. Yet controlling these properties independently remains difficult, especially when light can enter a device from either side.

13000 Year Old Satellite?

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEuDKzP_MKI&w=590]

A look at the black knight UFO / satellite, all images have been checked and are genuine non edited NASA originals.
The UFO was broadcasting signals and was being monitored not only by the USA and Soviet Union, but also by other countries such as Sweden and a host of Ham Radio enthusiasts.

One such Ham Radio operator decoded a series of signals received from the UFO Satellite and declared it to be a star-chart centered on the Epsilon Bootes Star System – But as it would have appeared from the Earth 13,000 years ago!

The UFO Satellite was actually photographed on September 3rd 1960, seven months after it first appeared on radar, by a tracking camera at the Grumman’s Aircraft Factory on Long Island.

It could sometimes be seen from the ground as a red glowing object moving in an east-west orbit at a time when most satellites moved West-east.A committee was convened to examine the UFO Satellite phenomenon, but this just quietly slipped away from the public view.

Three years later American Astronaut Gordon Cooper was launched into space on a twenty-two orbit mission.

During his final orbit, Cooper reported a UFO – he could see a glowing green object ahead of him in space which appeared to be closing in on his capsule. Cooper was reporting to the Muchea tracking station in Australia, who were able to detect the UFO on radar and confirmed that it was travelling in an East-West orbit.

The American News giant NBC got hold of the story, but were forbidden to ask Cooper about the UFO on his landing.

As pressure built up from questioners as to what actually happened up there, an “Official” explanation was issued – Astronaut Gordon Cooper, they said had hallucinated due to high levels of carbon dioxide in the space capsule.

Astronomers discover TOI-5734 b, a hot sub-Neptune twice Earth’s size

Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher for the Northern Hemisphere (HARPS-N), an international team of astronomers has discovered a hot sub-Neptune exoplanet orbiting a nearby star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-5734 b, is about two times larger and nine times more massive than Earth. The discovery was presented in a research paper published February 20 on the arXiv pre-print server.
