The Arctic is one of the regions most strongly affected by climate change. In recent decades, the temperature there has risen four times as fast as the global average. The ASCCI measurement campaign coordinated by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Goethe University Frankfurt is investigating why the Arctic is warming so much faster than the rest of Earth鈥檚 surface and what effects that will have. With measurement flights taking place in the region through early April, the researchers are working to gain a better understanding of the causes and effects of Arctic climate change.

Simulations of equations from the Standard Model of particle physics are too difficult for classical supercomputers. In this research, scientists for the first time created scalable quantum circuits to prepare a simulation of the starting state for a particle accelerator collision to test aspects of strong interactions. The researchers first determined these circuits for small systems using classical computers, then scaled the quantum circuits to a large system on more than 100 qubits of IBM鈥檚 quantum computers.

We鈥檝e all heard 鈥淐lick It, or Ticket鈥� as a reminder to buckle up in the car, but 鈥淐lick It and Win It!鈥� appears to be an effective approach for sustaining consistent seatbelt use among drivers. When drivers were promised a share of $125 weekly prize money for maintaining perfect seatbelt use streaks, they established good, long-lasting habits. Driving without a seatbelt decreased 26% relative to the control during the incentive program and was 33% than the control even after the program ended, according to research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, published in the American Journal of Public Health.
