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
Active dissociation of intracortical spiking and high gamma activity
<p>Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10331-y">doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10331-y</a></p>A brain–machine interface is used in monkeys to investigate the biophysical underpinnings of cortical high gamma-band activity, a signal that is often studied in the context of many brain functions.
Deconstruction of a spino-brain–spinal cord circuit that drives chronic pain
<p>Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10296-y">doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10296-y</a></p>In mice, a circuit between the spinal cord and various regions of the brain, centring on spinal-cord-projecting neurons in the rostral ventromedial medulla, has a key role in driving chronic pain.
Nanoscale transfer-printed full-colour ultrahigh-resolution quantum dot LEDs
Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10333-wA dual-action force dynamics strategy using a hard silicon template as a nanoimprinting stamp combined with inverted transfer printing is described for the manufacture of high-performance full-colour ultrahigh-resolution quantum dot light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for active-matrix displays, while revealing electric-field reconstruction in nanoscale arrays and introducing dielectric matching to mitigate field concentration and p

NASA’s asteroid Bennu sample reveals a hidden chemical patchwork
Scientists studying Bennu samples have discovered that its chemistry is far from uniform. Organic compounds and minerals cluster into three distinct types of regions, each shaped differently by past water activity. This uneven pattern shows that water altered the asteroid in a complex, localized way. The survival of delicate organic molecules adds an important clue to how life’s building blocks may persist in space.
Scientists turn MXene into tiny nanoscrolls that supercharge batteries and sensors
