Coronal rain is a phenomenon that takes place in the sun's corona when the hot plasma in the corona cools down and condenses into strong magnetic fields, which have been connected with regions that create solar flares. The plasma gets attracted towards the magnetic fields before condensing and gradually falling back to the solar surface.

Fig.4 Quantum Computer a 2D model.
The scientists began with a qubit square lattice array and stretched out each column in the 2D plane. They then folded each successive column on top of each other, forming a dual one-dimensional array called a “bi-linear” array. This put all qubits on the edge and simplified the arrangement of the required wiring system.The system is also completely in 2D. In this new architecture, some of the inter-qubit wiring—each qubit is also connected to all adjacent qubits in an array—does overlap, but because these are the only overlaps in the wiring, simple local 3D systems such as air-bridges at the point of overlap are enough and the system overall remains in 2D. As you can imagine, this simplifies its construction considerably.Apr. 24, 2020: At least 6 people killed, 1 critical after being struck by lightning across Odisha.
