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

Show HN: AILA – Local-first autonomous agent with zero-remote-override
Hi HN, I’m Marco. For the last 4 years, I’ve been a paramedic with the Berlin Fire Dept.I actually failed my first attempt at the State Medical Exam because I became obsessed with solving the
"Trust Issue" in Al. I prioritized this code over a "safe life" a paramedical. Now, with 60 days until my final attempt, I am releasing the project that cost me my first degree.
The Architecture: GAIA & AILA
I built GAIA as my personal counterpart—a digital double of my own conscious
Show HN: OpenEntropy – 47 hardware entropy sources from your computer's physics
I built this to study something most security engineers wave off: whether external factors can nudge hardware entropy sources.Here is why. Princeton’s PEAR lab ran RNG work for about 28 years and shut down in February 2007. People in the lab tried to shift random event generator output, and they reported small deviations after tens of millions of events.
https://www.pear-lab.com/The Global Consciousness Project took a similar idea outside the lab. It has run a distributed network

AI system TongGeometry generates and solves olympiad-level geometry problems
The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is a prestigious competition featuring talented high school students from around the world, in which competitors solve complicated mathematical problems. Geometry problems from these kinds of competitions—in particular, the formal logic and spatial reasoning involved—has been noted as a critical benchmark in artificial intelligence (AI) research.
Specially engineered crystal reveals magnetism with quantum potential
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, working with international partners, have uncovered surprising behavior in a specially engineered crystal. Composed of tantalum, tungsten and selenium—elements often studied for their potential in advanced electronics—the crystal demonstrates an unexpected atomic arrangement that hints at novel applications in spin-based electronics and quantum materials.
From cells to companies: Study shows how diversity scales within complex systems
A mystery novel, a history book, and a fantasy epic may have little in common in plot or style. But count the words inside them and a strange regularity appears: many new words show up early, then fewer and fewer as the author reuses what has already been introduced. That pattern, known as Heaps' law, turns out not to belong to books alone. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds that the same rule also describes how many complex systems grow, from livi

New amplifier design promises less noise, more gain for quantum computers
The low-noise, high-gain properties needed for high-performance quantum computing can be realized in a microwave photonic circuit device called a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier (JTWPA), RIKEN researchers have shown experimentally. This advance stands to speed up development of superconducting quantum computer systems at the 100-qubit scale. The work is published in the journal Physical Review Applied.
Proton's width measured to unparalleled precision, narrowing the path to new physics
Physicists in Germany have carried out the most accurate measurement to date of the width of the proton. By examining a previously unexplored energy-level transition in the hydrogen atom, Lothar Maisenbacher and colleagues at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have shown that the Standard Model continues to hold up under extraordinarily tight scrutiny, leaving even less room than before for rival theories that contradict our best understanding of how the universe behaves. The research ha
