insider brief IonQ researchers have published a detailed end-to-end blueprint for a fault-tolerant quantum computer based on trapped ions. This allows them to perform millions of logical operations on hundreds of error-correcting qubits using just 2,514 physical qubits. The architecture, dubbed “Walking Cat,” is built on a modern error correction approach called quantum LDPC codes … Read more

Researchers stuck moss to the outside of the ISS for 286 days, and the moss survived.

This image is a schematic representation of an experiment performed on moss spores in space.

A small, inconspicuous moss survived. almost 9 months Even in the vacuum of space, they managed to grow even when they returned to Earth. The results, observed after exposure outside the International Space Station, are giving scientists new ideas about how life might establish beyond Earth. In this experiment conducted by a team from Hokkaido … Read more

Professor says he has discovered life on Mars in rover photos, researchers say there is a simpler explanation

The claims made by NASA photos insect-like creatures on Mars is making ripples and raising eyebrows. While the images may seem convincing at first glance, most scientists say they’re looking at something much more ordinary. The story began William LomoserAn image taken by a professor emeritus at Ohio University was shared. NASA rover. He claimed … Read more
