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
New quantum controls can stretch, blur, or reverse the arrow of time
Physicists have designed a set of quantum control protocols that can make a monitored quantum process look as though time is flowing backward, forward at a different speed, or in no clear direction at ...

Can quantum computers now solve health care problems? We’ll soon find out.
After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all.
Why Quantum Computing Could Take AI To The Next Level After Nvidia GTC
What once took up the entire space in IBM’s lab in the 60’s, now fits on a chip. With tech. breakthroughs, it’s been about the how and when — as will quantum on a chip.

Show HN: Vessel Browser – An open-source browser built for AI agents, not humans
I'm Tyler - the solo operator of Quanta Intellect based in Portland, Oregon. I recently participated in Nous Research's Hermes Agent Hackathon, which is where this project was born.I've used agents extensively in my workflows for the better part of the last year - the biggest pain point was always the browser. Every tool out there assumes a human operator with automation bolted on. I wanted to flip that - make the agent the primary driver and give the human a supervisory role.Ente
Show HN: I ran a language model on a PS2
The Emotion Engine has 32 MB of RAM total, so the trick is streaming weights from CD-ROM one matrix at a time during the forward pass — only activations, KV cache and embeddings live in RAM. This means models bigger than the RAM can still run, they just read more from disc.Had to build a custom quantized format (PSNT), hack endianness, write a tokenizer pipeline, and most of the PS2 SDK from scratch (releasing that separately). The model itself is also custom — a 10M param Llama-style architectu
I made this app 'Mind Influence Lab' for experimenting consciousness hypothesis
I built an Android app for running structured mind-matter interaction experiments on your own device, modelled on the PEAR Lab methodology. I want to be upfront: the scientific consensus does not support the hypothesis this tests, and I am not claiming otherwise. But the effect size documented in prior literature (Cohen's h ≈ 0.002) is small enough that it cannot be tested in a few sessions, it requires sustained longitudinal data collection. No tool existed for this on a personal device, s
Tell HN: MS365 upgrade silently to 25 licenses, tried to charge me $1,035
Hey guys, quick warning about a crazy MS 365 dark pattern I ran into last night.
I was testing the business basic plan for a side project. Decided to upgrade to the annual tier to get the discount ($3.45/mo). Clicked convert to paid, put my burner card in, and got a $0.00 confirmation email. Thought we were good.
Woke up today to my bank blocking a charge for exactly $1,035.00.
Turns out when you hit the annual upgrade, Microsoft silently defaults the quantity dropdown to 25 licenses. No wa
Friction without contact discovered as magnetic forces break a 300-year-old law
Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, their internal forces compete, causing constant rearrangements that dramatically increase resistance at certain distances. This creates a surprising peak in friction instead of a steady rise, breaking a long-standing physics law.
Webb Telescope spots “impossible” atmosphere on ancient super Earth
Astronomers have uncovered surprising evidence of a thick atmosphere surrounding TOI-561 b, a scorching, fast-orbiting rocky planet once thought too extreme to hold onto any gas. Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, researchers found the planet is far cooler than expected for a bare rock, hinting at a heat-distributing atmosphere above a churning magma ocean. This strange world—where a year lasts just over 10 hours and one side is locked in eternal daylight—may even be rich in volatile mater

Scientists just found a hidden 48-dimensional world in quantum light
A routine quantum optics technique just revealed an extraordinary secret: entangled light can carry incredibly complex topological structures. Researchers found these hidden patterns reach up to 48 dimensions, offering a vast new “alphabet” for encoding quantum information. Unlike previous assumptions, this topology can emerge from a single property of light—orbital angular momentum.
