    Cosmic rays from outer space are causing errors in supercomputers. The neutrons that pass through the CPU may be causing binary data to flip leading to incorrect calculations.

    "Oppenheimer" brought the spotlight & the tourists to #LosAlamos. LANL is a working nat'l security lab & is NOT open to the public (badges are for authorized employees only; taking photos is not allowed). See ideas for other must-dos in the area: ow.ly/hhUU50Py3Cz

    Tycho is the stepping-stone machine to Crossroads, which will become Los Alamos' primary #supercomputer. Tycho and key components Rocinante and Razorback are named for spacecraft from #TheExpanse by @JamesSACorey. discover.lanl.gov/news/1020-supe…

    “My two great loves are physics and New Mexico,” Oppenheimer once said. From last golden light on the mesa to monsoon rainbows and star-studded skies, it’s easy to fall in love with Los Alamos. ✨🌈 📷 Photos by graduate student Eliana Krakovsky #LosAlamos
