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
World’s first quantum brain scanner aims to scan troops on-site for blast damage
A new quantum-powered brain scanner is set to change how militaries protect troops from blast exposure by bringing laboratory-grade imaging directly to firing ranges. Scientists in the UK are ...
Microsoft claims a big quantum-chip leap, but many physicists say the results don’t add up
Microsoft’s claim that its InAs-Al hybrid chip achieved the first single-shot parity readout of a potential topological qubit ...
Researchers Reveal the Power of ‘Quantum Proofs’
More than 30 years ago, researchers discovered that hypothetical computers based on the laws of quantum physics would be able to rapidly solve difficult math problems. Ever since then, they’ve sought to pinpoint cases where quantum computers are more powerful than their ordinary “classical” cousins. For nearly as long, a small band of computer scientists has pursued a related question that gets…Source
How the Bilingual Brain Switches Languages With Ease
Similar concepts in different languages share an address in the brain. My octogenarian father-in-law is trilingual and a lifelong fan of the World Cup. As he cheers on his favorite teams in English, Spanish, or French—sometimes switching between them mid-sentence—I’m always amazed at how easy it seems.Scientists have long been fascinated by the brain’s ability to learn and retain multiple languages. Even after years of disuse, a brief exposure can quickly revive a language without having to cons
Astronomers witness the birth of a magnetar for the first time
A strange "chirping" signal from a distant supernova has revealed the birth of a magnetar, confirming that these incredibly magnetic neutron stars can power the universe's brightest stellar explosions. The discovery also marks the first time Einstein's general relativity has been used to explain the mechanics of a supernova.
Scientists discover quantum entanglement inside a crystal you can hold in your hand
Quantum entanglement has long been understood as something that happens at the smallest possible scales, between individual ...
Show HN: Routing24 – free route optimization agent for Claude Cowork/WebMCP
I've been building https://routing24.com for a while, a free route optimization and planning app for businesses.One of the things that bothered me for quite a time is inability of browser agents to work with Routing24.We have tons of natural tasks for AI:- data ingestion, to figure out data coming from user's side (csv and Excel);- geocoding quality validation (to explain user what they need to correct and their addresses and how);- steep learning curve for business users (wh
Show HN: TeXposit – LaTeX and Markdown Editor
Online editor with LaTeX, Markdown, LaTeX+Markdown Hybrid and WYSIWYG (MD only) support, AI assistant with resource lookup and anti-hallucination features, live collaboration and more fun things. Still in quite early beta. First institutional deployment scheduled in the autumn. Feel free to play around.
Show HN: Tracking how much of the HN front page is AI-generated
For the past few months, I've been sending every story that reaches the HN front page through Pangram's AI detector and noting the scores. The reason I made it is that I kept noticing posts that sounded like AI-generated to me. Sometimes the comments pointed it out, sometimes a post was near the top all day and no one said a word. I wondered if the share was really increasing or if I was just primed to see slop everywhere.How it operates: The site identifies the top 30, gets each artic
Show HN: Cute Music App
I designed a music visualization player app that I personally think is quite creative/cute, and I hope you’ll give it a try for relax. I recommend using organ as the instrument option.<p><a href="https://music-vis-azure.vercel.app/" rel="nofollow">https://music-vis-azure.vercel.app/</a><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@blackcatmusic12" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@blackcatmusic12</a>
Show HN: microide, a 100% vibecoded IDE that LLM agents can drive
I want to be very upfront: this IDE's code is 100% generated by LLMs supervised by me, I am not hiding this fact. This submission was written by a human.microide's focus is performance and privacy, I was very tired of having AI integrated on every tool (ironic, I know, having vibecoded this one), and the decline in software performance. After trying quite a few IDEs none were what I wanted so I started microide. microide also does not have any kind of telemetry nor networking capabilit
Show HN: Logo Design for Busy Founders
General purpose illustration tools like adobe illustrator or affinity have a great amount of flexibility but come at the cost of complexity that isn't needed for a logo design tool.So I trimmed down the fat to a minimal set of 10 tools acting on a logo grid, when combined together makes it easy to build quite a surprising variety of logo marks pretty fast.This was a very interesting project unlike most of the work i've done over the years, this iteration (the 4th) came from progressive
Show HN: KiCad in the Browser
KiCad, a PCB EDA suite is now working in a browser, you can try it at the link, there's a demo project or you can bring your own. Firefox is best, Chrome is good, Safari is "working".We’re Emergence Engineering, a dev shop from Hungary, mostly working with rich text editors, CRDTs. PCBJam started as my (Viktor, CTO, ex-electrical engineer) hobby project but as time went on I put more
and more energy into it, and a product started shaping up in my head, in the last few months we’ve
Show HN: Build offline-first web apps in pure Go and HTML
For a while, I've struggled to really get into the Mobile ecosystem. With the duopology that Google (Android) and Apple (iOS) hold on the mobile ecosystem, it's very difficult for developers to build and maintain decent mobile apps, especially when you're a solo developer and UI/UX isn't exactly you're fore anyway.So I built (after some experiments with a friend @xuu) a little Go application framework that combines HTMX, DaisyUI/TailwindCSS and Service Workers
Quantum mechanics once baffled scientists. Now it's changing the world
Quantum mechanics has journeyed from a strange and controversial idea to the foundation of some of humanity’s most advanced technologies. Now researchers are pushing its boundaries even further, with potential breakthroughs in energy, medicine, computing, and our understanding of the universe.

NASA's Hubble spots a stellar sparkler for the Fourth of July
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a spectacular red, white, and blue view of one of the Milky Way's oldest star clusters to celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary. Hidden within the ancient cluster are clues to how exploding stars helped transform the young universe into one capable of forming planets and, eventually, life.
NASA's Hubble captures a crimson stellar nursery sparkling with blue and white stars
Hubble has captured a spectacular view of LH 95, where about 2,500 young stars are still on their journey to becoming full-fledged stars. Scientists discovered these growing stars can keep pulling in gas and dust for millions of years, extending an important stage of stellar development. The region also contains multiple generations of stars living side by side, offering fresh clues about how star formation unfolds over time.
