    The futures of climate modeling

    We reflect on the current state of climate modeling and the future divergent paths that have been proposed for a step change that leverages different tools. We review the history of successful Earth system predictions across timescales, highlighting how multiple tools and steps were involved. We argue that the past is prologue for climate modeling…

  • Fresh ‘quantum advantage’ claim made by computing firm D-Wave

    A ‘quantum processor’ has solved a physics problem on the behaviour of magnetism in certain solids that would take hundreds of thousands of years to calculate on the largest conventional supercomputers. The result is the latest claim of machine showing ‘quantum advantage’ over classical computers. Although Google and others have claimed to achieve quantum advantage…

    Did Mars harbour life? One of the strongest signs yet is spotted in a peculiar rock

    The black-ringed ‘leopard spots’ on a Martian rock might be evidence of chemical reactions that could have involved micro-organisms. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS NASA’s Perseverance rover has found possible hints of ancient life on Mars― one of the strongest signs yet of Martian life, according to planetary scientists. Dark-rimmed ‘leopard spots’ in a rock studied by the…

    Early this year, the US surgeon general issued a bombshell report. Before his term ended in January, Vivek Murthy warned that alcohol increases the risk of at least seven types of cancer and called for alcoholic drinks to carry cancer warning labels as cigarette packs do. The report1 triggered a flurry of headlines about a…
