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

These Supercharged Immune Cells Completely Eliminated Solid Tumors in Mice

The technology, which uses genetically engineered T cells, could target nearly two dozen different solid cancers with one treatment. Few cancer treatments are as ferocious as CAR T cell therapy.Often derived from a patient’s own immune cells, CAR T cells are genetically modified to hunt down and destroy cancer cells. The FDA has approved treatments for deadly blood cancers, and treatments tackling autoimmune diseases and preventing tissue scarring in the heart and kidneys have shown promise.Yet

A new 'uncertainty relation' for quantum measurement errors

One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...

From Quantum Spam to Quantum Minds: Why the ‘Best’ Revolution in Physics Is Only Getting Started

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

Quantum dynamics show 'memory' depends on whether states or observables evolve

An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings show that a quantum process can appear memoryless from one perspective while ...

Inside the company selling quantum entanglement

Cables underneath New York City are teeming with entangled quantum particles of light thanks to Qunnect, a company that has spent a decade working on building an unhackable quantum internet

How some skills become second nature

Expertise isn’t easy to pass down. Take riding a bike: A seasoned cyclist might talk a beginner through the basics of how to sit and when to push off. But other skills, like how hard to pedal to keep balanced, are more intuitive and harder to articulate. This implicit know-how is known as tacit knowledge, and very often, it can only be learned with experience and time.But a team of MIT engineers wondered: Could an expert’s unconscious know-how be accessed, and even taught, to quickly bring a nov

The Retention Imperative: Why AI-Powered SaaS Companies Are Winning in 2026

The SaaS growth playbook has changed: retention now beats acquisition 2.5x. AI-powered companies grow 27% faster and reach $100M ARR 1.7 years sooner.Key shifts: - Median ARR growth: 35% (2021) → 15% (2026) - CAC payback: 18mo → 23mo; cost per $1 ARR: $1.24 → $2.08 - NRR drives growth: >106% = 2.5x faster than peers - Expansion ARR = 40% of total new (50%+ at scale)AI transforms retention: 1. Product: predictive analytics, churn-preventing workflows 2. Operations: agents automate CRM, save re

Show HN: Self-Protecting Files for the Agentic Era

We've been building Honeycake, a file-native security platform that embeds encryption, access policies, and audit trails directly into files.The thesis: AI Agents are moving data at machine speed across workflows, platforms, and organizations, often without explicit human approval. Conventional security protects locations (firewalls, IAM, DLP), but once an Agent copies a file somewhere new, those controls don't follow. The file is unprotected.Our approach is a new file primitive called

GAEB4Linux – An Open Source GAEB XML Viewer Built with Spring Boot and Vaadin

Hi HN, I’m building GAEB4Linux, an open-source GAEB XML viewer for Linux. GAEB (Gemeinsamer Ausschuss Elektronik im Bauwesen) is a German standard used in construction for exchanging bills of quantities (BoQ), pricing, tenders, invoices, etc. Most existing tools are Windows-only and closed source. What it currently does Loads GAEB XML files (DA80 / DA81, e.g. X81) Parses via JAXB (generated from official XSD 3.3) Extracts BoQ structure and positions Displays: Position number (OZ) Short &#x2

Show HN: Learnprints – a full learning OS I built solo on nights and weekends

I’m 25, work full-time at my family’s cabinetry company, and spent the last 9 months solo-building Learnprints (learnprints.ca) on nights and weekends with a ~$2,500 budget and a lot of searching and learning.The frustration that started it: every learning tool I tried was optimized for engagement, not understanding. Anki is great but gives you no structure. Notion is a graveyard. AI chatbots answer questions but don’t build knowledge.I wanted something that actually closed the loop.What Learnpr

Show HN: Qrvpn – deploy and run VPN server on any device and behind NAT/FW

I want to present a new tool that allows you to deploy and run your own VPN server with just a few clicks on Windows, Linux, Android and iPhone/Mac. No public IP or open ports are needed - both client and server use outgoing connections to bypass NAT/FW. This is handled with a relay server that forwards opaque, encrypted traffic. WireGuard is used as VPN protocol (rust implementation). UI was done in Flutter and look the same across all OSs. The core logic in C++. It was quite fun to p

Show HN: Tensor Spy: inspect NumPy and PyTorch tensors in the browser, no upload

We needed a side project to give agentic coding a try, and created tensorspy.com together with Junie and ChatGPT 5.2.Tensor Spy lets you quickly inspect the contents of numpy & pytorch tensors locally (your tensors are not uploaded to any servers).This is useful to validate your deep learning data pipelines, to check which layers in your diverging model are actually going haywire, and just because it's kind of cool & a lot more convenient for one-off inspections than loading things
