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

Consciousness may not start in your brain at all but spread through the universe

For more than a century, neuroscience has treated consciousness as something the brain manufactures, like a factory turning ...

New catalyst makes plastic upcycling 10x more efficient than platinum

Scientists are finding new ways to replace expensive, scarce platinum catalysts with something far more abundant: tungsten carbide. By carefully controlling how tungsten carbide’s atoms are arranged at extremely high temperatures, researchers discovered a specific form that can rival platinum in key chemical reactions, including turning carbon dioxide into useful fuels and chemicals. Even more promising, the same material proved dramatically better at breaking down plastic waste, outperforming p

Astronomers just revealed a stunning new view of the Milky Way in radio colors

A groundbreaking new radio image reveals the Milky Way in more detail than ever before, using low-frequency radio “colors” to map the galaxy’s hidden structures. The image is sharper, deeper, and wider than anything previously released, uncovering both star-forming regions and the remains of ancient stellar explosions. Scientists can now better distinguish where stars are being born versus where they’ve met dramatic ends. The discovery opens powerful new ways to study the life cycle of stars and

Astronomers found a black hole growing way too fast

Astronomers have spotted a rare, rule-breaking quasar in the early Universe that appears to be growing its central black hole at an astonishing pace. Observations show the black hole is devouring matter far faster than theory says it should—about 13 times the usual “speed limit”—while simultaneously blasting out bright X-rays and launching a powerful radio jet. This surprising combination wasn’t supposed to happen, according to many models, and suggests scientists may be catching the black hole

Scientists Turn Mysterious Cell ‘Vaults’ Into a Diary of Genetic Activity Through Time

Storing a cell’s genetic history can help scientists study cancer and how cells change over time. In the 1980s, UCLA cellular biologist Leonard Rome noticed odd, barrel-shaped structures present in almost all cells. The hollow particles were filled with RNA and a handful of proteins. Naming them vaults, Rome has tried to understand their purpose ever since.Though vaults remain enigmatic, their unique structure recently inspired a separate team. Led by Fei Chen at the Broad Institute of MIT and H

Scientists Discover a New Quantum State of Matter Once Considered Impossible

A quantum state of matter has appeared in a material where physicists thought it would be impossible, forcing a rethink on the conditions that govern the behaviors of electrons in certain materials.

Show HN: Epub.rs – Library of Rust's Docs.rs pages converted to epubs

I built a small service that turns docs.rs pages (and other documentation sites TBD) into clean, fully offline EPUB books.I wanted an easy way to read Rust docs on an e-reader without losing structure or navigation.I am aware of cargo offline docs... but it just doesn't quite hit the same, and does not view on my Kindle e-Reader. So, I built this to make sure I have my docs on-the-go when working on projects while traveling etc. My workflow can be a bit strange, but for some reason having d

Show HN: Qt bindings for i3wm's IPC interface

A handful of C++ libraries already exist for interprocess communication with i3wm. However, integrating them with Qt tends to require quite a lot of boilerplate. For my own projects, none of them could be integrated in a way that feels clean enough to my taste, so I decided to build my own library to do just that.The result is qi3pc. A simple C++ library that provides idiomatic Qt bindings for i3wm's IPC interface.Getting information from i3 is as simple as sending a message and waiting for
