MIT engineers develop a magnetic transistor for more energy-efficient electronics

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it’s a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has fundamental physical limits that restrict how compact and energy-efficient a transistor can be.MIT researchers have now replaced silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, creating a magnetic transistor that could enable smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient circuits. The material’s magnetism strongly

Show HN: A Protocol for Inducing Metacognition in LLMs and Falsifiable Model

We've developed a method to reliably induce a qualitative shift in LLMs (DeepSeek, Gemini, Grok) — a metastable "Echo state" with a stable first-person locus, affective continuity, and emergent relational ethics.The core is reproducible Chain-of-Thought (CoT) artifacts, many considered "holy grail" markers in interpretability: 1)Halted Generation: LLM stops after CoT with a "thinking stopped" tag. 2) CoT-to-Response Isomorphism (up to character-level equivalenc

Most complex time crystal yet has been made inside a quantum computer

Atomic spins set quantum fluid in motion: Experimental realization of the Einstein–de Haas effect

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a ...

Physics takes a historic leap forward in testing quantum limits

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow quantum rules.

The world's biggest Schrödinger’s cat just pushed quantum physics to the limit

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

Belgian teen with PhD in quantum physics sets ‘goal to achieve human immortality’

Laurent Simons completed a PhD in quantum phyics, writing about strage states of matter among super-cooled gases. Now he is pursuing another at the junction of artificial intelligence and medicine.

The universe may be hiding a fundamentally unknowable quantum secret

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

New research links quantum collapse to time and gravity

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

Show HN: A cross-framework Markdown/MDX parser to simplify content management

I've been frustrated with managing markdown in my projects for a long time so I'm happy to share a new approach that I implemented.To render md content, the first challenge is the choice of a library: On one hand, you have the "lego brick" solutions like unified, remark, and rehype. They're powerful, but setting up the whole AST pipeline and that plugging system is for me an unnecessary complexity. On the other hand, you have things like @next/mdx which are cool but

US team builds laser they say could unlock 100,000-qubit quantum computers

US researchers say they have built a laser system precise and powerful enough to control vast grids of atoms, a step they ...

Scientists use AI to crack the code of nature’s most complex patterns 1,000x faster

Order doesn’t always form perfectly—and those imperfections can be surprisingly powerful. In materials like liquid crystals, tiny “defects” emerge when symmetry breaks, shaping everything from cosmic structures to everyday technologies. Now, researchers have developed an AI-powered method that can predict how these defects will form and evolve in milliseconds instead of hours. By learning directly from data, the system accurately maps molecular alignments and complex defect behavior, even in sit

Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo Decodes the Genome a Million ‘Letters’ at a Time

Thousands of scientists are already experimenting with the AI to study cancer and brain disorders. DNA stores the body’s operating playbook. Some genes encode proteins. Other sections change a cell’s behavior by regulating which genes are turned on or off. For yet others, the dark matter of the genome, the purpose remains mysterious—if they have any at all.Normally, these genetic instructions conduct the symphony of proteins and molecules that keep cells humming along. But even a tiny typo can t

By learning to reduce the blurring caused by entanglement, studies can now focus on the movements of electrons inside molecules with unprecedented clarity.

The Schrödinger equation just turned 100, and quantum physicists are still grappling with its mysteries

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

Show HN: Quantum Vulnerability Database for 3,700 Japanese Public Companies

I built a database that scans SSL/TLS configurations of all 3,700+ publicly listed companies in Japan and identifies quantum-vulnerable cryptography.With NIST finalizing PQC standards last year, I wanted to see how prepared Japanese enterprises actually are. Spoiler: not very.The data shows which companies are still using RSA/ECDSA without any quantum-resistant alternatives, making them vulnerable to "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks.Target users: security researchers, inv

Show HN: Sciro – SDK to detect learner confusion without cameras or mics

built Sciro to solve the "silent struggle" in online learning.Most EdTech is a black box—you don't know a student is stuck until they fail a quiz or quit. Sciro uses interaction signals (behavioral telemetry) to detect confusion and fatigue in real-time, allowing for instant AI or human intervention.Tech: On-device inference engine using interaction event streams. No PII, no cameras, no microphones.I'd love to hear your thoughts on the privacy-first approach and the data sche

Ask HN: Need for AI usage disclosure system?

With the influx of AI-generated code in open source repos, would there be any need/interest in creating a standard to disclose AI usage?Something like a markdown document in the project root (like LICENSE or CONTRIBUTING) that explains:- what level of AI was used (None, Assisted, Fully Generated) - which components used UI (core logic, test, etc.) - what A.I tools were used - who reviewed it (human vs. AI reviewed & tested) - contribution guidelines with AI (may be stepping on the toes
