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

Tiny X-ray telescope could unlock the Moon's hidden chemistry

A lightweight new X-ray telescope could finally give scientists something they’ve never had before: a complete chemical map of the Moon. Researchers used detailed mission simulations to show that a compact telescope orbiting the Moon could identify key elements across the entire lunar surface, helping reveal how the Moon formed and evolved.

Scientists found a surprisingly simple way to create powerful quantum states

A team at the University of Chicago has discovered a surprisingly simple way to create powerful quantum states that are normally difficult to produce. By making small adjustments to the energy levels of atoms inside an optical cavity, researchers can generate a wide variety of highly entangled states without adding complicated hardware.

Scientists identify the origin of noise in spin qubit quantum processors

A spin qubit, in which quantum information is encoded in the spin state of an electron, is one of the most promising platforms for quantum computing. Spin qubits exhibit long coherence times and are compatible with advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies. The leading implementation of spin qubits involves confined electrons inside quantum dots, a nanoscale semiconductor architecture that behaves like a controllable artificial atom. Recent advances have enabled high-fidelity operation o

Launch HN: General Instinct (YC P26) – Frontier models on edge devices

Hey HN, Guanming and Bill here from General Instinct (https://general-instinct.com/).After years of working in robotics, we kept running into the same problem: the best models never fit the hardware we actually had available.The models that performed best were usually designed around datacenter assumptions: large GPUs, lots of memory bandwidth, and reliable network access. But most physical systems have the opposite constraints.That led us down the path of figuring out how much of

I Made a Vibe Coded Project

Over a week, I managed to hack together pish. It is a primarily C based project aiming to one day be nearly compliant to POSIX/UNIX standards? It is an experimental project made entirely from scratch by myself.Here is what I learnedAI tends to generally benefit more if I ask it to give it documents like SPECs, and debating first before implementing.Here is what I learned a lesson fromNever make flashy features, for example. While I was developing pish, I realized the test suite was quite a

Show HN: I built my own solution to manage clients because it's got too messy

Hello HN,My name is Preet Suthar and I’ve been freelancing for the past five years. Working with multiple clients each month quickly becomes a challenge when keeping track of everything. When clients requested increased workloads, I struggled to manage tasks, documents and knowledge effectively. This also caused problems for clients who were trying to manage five different platforms for communication, documents, knowledge bases and project management.We eventually developed our own internal s

Show HN: Micron: a high performance C++23 (re)implementation of Libc and the STL

Howdy HN,I've been working on micron for quite some time now, and I've finally gotten it to a state where I'm ready to share it with other people. I've really been pruning and testing it quite heavily for the past few weeks looking to flush out any bugs/inconsistencies. micron is a header-only C++23 core systems library that runs on Linux without libc, without libm, without the STL, and without any external dependencies at all. Fully freestanding. To my knowledge this is

A tiny atomic shift gives scientists powerful control over metals

A team at the University of Minnesota discovered that changing a metal film's thickness by just a few nanometers can dramatically alter how it behaves electronically. The finding reveals a surprising new way to control metals and could help power future advances in electronics, catalysis, and quantum technology.

NASA just proved spacecraft can switch between multiple satellite networks

NASA’s PExT terminal has shown that spacecraft can seamlessly communicate through multiple government and commercial networks, a major step beyond traditional single-network systems. The mission is now expanding to test new capabilities that could help create a more flexible, reliable communications infrastructure for future space missions.

Ask HN: Any philosophical books that discuss Consciousness related with LLMs era

Following the article from Ted Chiang from TheAtlantic - Artificial intelligence is not conscious, I was wondering if you could suggest me some philosophical books that treat the subject of language, what is consciousness and ideally has some link to what we face today with LLms.These philosphical books could be hundreds of years old but still be on-point with the current discussion, as I'm more interested to think about the philosophical aspect ("what is consciousness") rather th

Toxic Clumps in Huntington’s Disease May Protect the Brain Too

The findings could lead to new treatments for multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Huntington’s disease is tragically predictable. An inherited genetic mutation causes neurons to make distorted, sticky proteins. These proteins clump together and gradually overwhelm brain cells. The brain loses its ability to learn, remember, and make decisions.This story is dogma in neuroscience. But decades of research and drugs targeting the clumps have had little success. Scientists are now wondering: Is ther

Hidden supermassive black hole pairs may finally have a visible signal

Scientists have proposed a new method for finding tightly bound supermassive black hole pairs by searching for stars that flash repeatedly as their light is magnified by the black holes’ gravity. The timing and brightness of these bursts could provide a unique fingerprint of black holes slowly spiraling toward a future collision.

Magnetic fields may be the secret behind binary star formation

Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer simulations show that magnetic fields surrounding newborn stars can act like a cosmic brake, stripping away angular momentum and allowing two still-forming protostars to spiral closer together instead of drifting apart.

Scientists discover a hidden quantum world inside cobalt

Scientists have uncovered unexpected quantum complexity inside cobalt, a metal long thought to be fully understood. Advanced measurements revealed a dense network of topological electronic states that remain robust at room temperature. These states enable extremely fast electron behavior and can be switched or controlled using magnetism. The discovery could open new paths toward next-generation computing and spin-based devices.

Scientists are seriously asking if bees and ChatGPT are conscious

New studies suggest consciousness can't be judged solely by behavior, whether it's a chatbot discussing philosophy or a bee searching for nectar. Researchers are increasingly focusing on the internal mechanisms of brains and computers, concluding that today's AI is likely not conscious while leaving open the possibility for both conscious insects and future machines.
