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

Pathways to a career in quantum: what skills do you need?

The quantum effect that could power next-gen, battery-free devices

A wafer-thin flake of bismuth telluride can act a little like a one-way street for electricity, even when the push comes from an alternating signal. But the direction of that “street” is not fixed.

A superradiant clock phase emerges when Rydberg atoms meet quantum light, simulations suggest

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

Quantum Memory Isn’t What We Thought: Physicists Reveal a Hidden Duality

An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

Researchers create a never-before-seen molecule and prove its exotic nature with quantum computing

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any ...

Show HN: I wrote an LLM inference engine in pure Go – 48 tok/s zero dependencies

dlgo is a pure Go deep learning inference engine. It loads GGUF models and runs them on CPU with no dependencies beyond the standard library (SIMD acceleration is optional via CGo).I built this because I wanted to add local LLM inference to a Go project without shelling out to Python or linking against llama.cpp. The whole thing is go get github.com/computerex/dlgo and you're running models.It supports LLaMA, Qwen 2/3/3.5, Gemma 2/3, Phi-2/4, SmolLM2, Mistral,

Ask HN: Modeling executive function as a grey-box system: Valid or delusional?

I’ve spent the last year treating executive function attributes (Discipline, Grit, Patience, etc.) as mutable "system variables" instead of fixed traits.I’m taking a systems-engineering approach to “prescribe” CBT-based psychological interventions when I hit a wall (e.g. procrastination, "redlining"), and also to identify which traits need the most attention to optimize overall “system” (my) output.*Model Overview*:I’m using a Grey-Box model, dependent on the following premis

Show HN: EdgeDox – Offline document AI on Android using Qwen3.5-0.8B

Hi HN,I’ve been experimenting with running small language models directly on mobile devices and built a small Android app called EdgeDox.The idea was to make document AI usable without sending files to a cloud service. Many existing tools require uploading PDFs or documents to a server, which can be a privacy concern.EdgeDox runs a lightweight language model (Qwen3.5-0.8B) locally on the device so documents stay on the phone.Current features:• Ask questions about PDFs • Document summarization •

Autonomous AI Agents Have an Ethics Problem

AI-powered digital assistants can do many complex tasks on their own. But who takes responsibility when they cause harm? Scott Shambaugh, a volunteer maintainer for a programming code library called Matplotlib, recently described a surreal encounter with an autonomous AI agent—a digital assistant created with a platform called OpenClaw. After he rejected a code contribution submitted by the agent, it researched and published a personalized “hit piece” against Shambaugh on its blog. The post port

Material previously thought to be quantum is actually a new, non-quantum state of matter

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem. A study, published in Science Advances and co-led by Rice University's Pengcheng Dai, found that the material cerium magnesium hexalluminate (CeMgAl11O19) was not actually in a quantum spin liquid phase despite evidence suggesting it was.

A superradiant clock phase emerges when Rydberg atoms meet quantum light, simulations suggest

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and develop quantum technologies, as they can give rise to exotic and rare phases of matter.

Astronomers discover giant cosmic sheet around the Milky Way

For decades, astronomers wondered why most nearby galaxies are speeding away from the Milky Way instead of being pulled in by its gravity. New simulations reveal the answer: our galaxy sits in a gigantic, flat sheet of matter surrounded by huge empty voids. This hidden structure—dominated by dark matter—balances gravitational forces and lets neighboring galaxies drift outward. The discovery finally explains the puzzling motions of galaxies just beyond our Local Group.

Electrons catapult across solar materials in just 18 femtoseconds

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 femtoseconds, researchers at the University of Cambridge observed electrons blasting across a boundary in a single burst, far faster than long-standing theories predicted. Instead of slow, random movement, the electron rides the natural vibrations of the molecule itself, challenging decades of design rul
