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

Scientists Send Secure Quantum Keys Over 62 Miles of Fiber—Without Trusted Devices

The strongest known form of quantum-secure communication is no longer limited to tabletop experiments. Quantum communication could enable uncrackable transfer of information, but most approaches rely on trusted devices. Researchers have now demonstrated that a new method that does away with this challenging requirement can operate over distances as large as 62 miles.One of the central promises of a future quantum internet is provably secure communication. That’s thanks to one of the quirks of qu

Laser‑written glass chip pushes quantum communication toward practical deployment

As quantum computers continue to advance, many of today's encryption systems face the risk of becoming obsolete. A powerful alternative—quantum cryptography—offers security based on the laws of physics instead of computational difficulty. But to turn quantum communication into a practical technology, researchers need compact and reliable devices that can decode fragile quantum states carried by light.

Why elite chess ratings get stuck: A new model treats draws as data

Here's a statistical challenge worthy of a grandmaster: How do you create an accurate ranking system when the best players usually don't win? This is the conundrum of elite chess. The stronger the players, the greater the odds of the match ending in a draw.

Quantum dots reveal entropy production, a key measure of nanoscale energy dissipation

In order to build the computers and devices of tomorrow, we have to understand how they use energy today. That's harder than it sounds. Memory storage, information processing, and energy use in these technologies involve constant energy flow—systems never settle into thermodynamic balance. To complicate things further, one of the most precise ways to study these processes starts at the smallest scale: the quantum domain.

Leading AI models struggle to solve original math problems

Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks like literature searches and checking manuscripts for errors. But how well can AI perform when it comes to solving genuine, high-level research problems?

Show HN: Entelgia–a consciousness-inspired,multi-agent AI with persistent memory

I’m sharing Entelgia, a research-oriented multi-agent AI architecture I’ve been working on.Entelgia is not a chatbot, but an experiment in how persistent identity, internal conflict, emotional regulation, and moral reasoning can emerge from structure rather than hard-coded rules.Two primary agents engage in continuous dialogue across sessions, backed by a shared persistent memory (SQLite + STM), with mechanisms for:internal conflict (id / ego / superego dynamics)emotion tracking and im

Show HN: We built a tool to track the millions of dollars I ignore during ads

The economics of the Super Bowl (sorry, "Big Game") are absurd. $8M for 30 seconds of airtime.We wanted to quantify what happens when you ignore it with this infotainment app.The Big Flush lets you clock out during commercial breaks and gives you a receipt for the ad value you "destroyed" by being in the bathroom, going for snacks etc.It was built in a 3-4 days for a hackathon. We tried to make the UI feel "luxury absurd."Would love feedback on the Three.js perform
