A New Quantum Algorithm Speeds Up Solving a Huge Class of Problems

2 weeks ago | wired.com | Stephen Ornes

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a peak to climb—and then they must develop a strategy to solve it. Classical and quantum researchers compete using different strategies, with a healthy rivalry between the two.

The universe: How will it end?

4 weeks ago | snexplores.org | Stephen Ornes |Trisha Muro |Emily Sohn

Some endings are easy to predict. Throw a ball in the air and it will fall back down. Run off a diving board and you’ll land in a pool. Stick a thumbtack in a balloon and it’ll pop. But forecasting something as big and complex as the end of the universe? That’s not even a little easy. People have been making predictions about the end of everything since the start of civilization. Scientists have been chasing this question for hundreds of years.

Small Language Models Are the New Rage, Researchers Say

1 month ago | wired.com | Stephen Ornes

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Large language models work well because they’re so large. The latest models from OpenAI, Meta, and DeepSeek use hundreds of billions of “parameters”—the adjustable knobs that determine connections among data and get tweaked during the training process. With more parameters, the models are better able to identify patterns and connections, which in turn makes them more powerful and accurate. But this power comes at a cost.

An ionosphere map from smartphone data may help improve GPS

1 month ago | snexplores.org | Carolyn Wilke |Stephen Ornes |Lisa Grossman |Sarah Zielinski

Smartphones are helping chart an erratic region of Earth’s atmosphere that can mess with navigation systems and other tech. That region is the ionosphere — a sea of charged particles on the edge of outer space. There, the sun’s radiation cooks gases in the air. This rips electrons off neutral atoms and molecules, creating free-roaming charged particles. Levels of these charged particles shift with changing sunlight and solar activity.
What is a dinosaur?

Visit your local natural history museum gift shop and you’ll probably find a container of dinosaur toys for sale. Dump out its contents, though, and you’ll likely find some imposters, says Nathan Smith. He should know. He’s director and curator of the Dinosaur Institute in California. It’s part of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. Winged pterosaurs are a common fraud. So is the sail-backed carnivore, Dimetrodon. The word “dinosaur” isn’t a catch-all term for just any scaly, prehistoric giant.
