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

Tell HN: On AI, Quality, and Accountability

Suppose I do something myself. I reap all the benefits, but it takes a lot of time, I may not have the expertise to do a good job, and I get all the blame if something goes wrong.Suppose I go to the park and find one of several guys who would do it...

Show HN: 10x token savings for AI Web Scraping

I have been working on this problem for 6 months.Makra brings down the cost of web scraping by quite a lot, using novel memory and layout caching mechanisms.Currently it's web scraping, but the same can be applied with all kinds of Browser-use a...

Show HN: SlideOps – slides from a repo that flag when they drift from the code

I kept generating slide decks about my codebases with an agent, and weeks later they would go stale. Updating them was quite costly (time & tokens), as the agent would have to re-scan the whole repo to re-generate the slides. So I made the slide...

This Drug Makes New Neurons in the Brain. Scientists Say It Reversed Alzheimer’s Symptoms in Mice.

Delivered by injection, the drug transforms astrocytes into neurons. In an early study, mice modeling Alzheimer’s showed marked improvement compared to untreated peers. The Alzheimer’s brain faces a double whammy. Toxic protein clumps build up...

MIT Quantum Initiative launches postdoctoral fellowship program

The MIT Quantum Initiative (QMIT) has launched a new postdoctoral fellowship program to accelerate interdisciplinary quantum research and develop the next generation of scientific leaders working at the frontiers of quantum science and technolog...

Study: Peptides can form well-defined structures in harsh, Venus-like conditions

When exploring solar system bodies for signs of past or present life, scientists have mainly focused on planets that have (or had) a liquid surface similar to Earth’s. However, mounting evidence suggests that the ingredients for life may exist i...

Bitcoin’s Quantum-Safe Transaction is Live: What it Means for BTC Holders, Future

Bitcoin (BTC) has completed what StarkWare describes as its first quantum-safe transaction on the mainnet, turning a theoretical security concept into a live bl ...

A Major Quantum Computing Problem May Finally Have an Answer: Can We Trust the Results?

“After all, when a classical computer and a quantum simulator tackle the same problem, it’s not just a matter of which one ...

The First Quantum-Resistant Bitcoin Transaction Has Been Mined

A StarkWare researcher has successfully sent the first Bitcoin transaction designed to resist attacks from a sufficiently ...

Scientists discover two superconducting states hiding as one

Scientists have uncovered hidden complexity inside two ultrathin superconductors that seemed much simpler than they really are. Niobium diselenide and tantalum disulfide appeared to have a single superconducting state, but highly sensitive measuremen...

Physicists take Hall effect in a new direction

Carnegie Mellon University scientists have uncovered a new phenomenon that challenges a longstanding assumption about how electronic materials respond to magnetic fields. The discovery broadens the fundamental understanding of the Hall effect, a prin...

A “quantum bath” puts quantum entanglement on autopilot

Physicists have demonstrated a new way to entangle distant quantum bits without the constant measurements and active control normally required. The team created a “quantum bath,” a shared environment filled with correlated microwave photons that auto...

Physicists finally put Feynman's path integral to the test

For nearly 80 years, physicists have relied on a thought experiment created by Richard Feynman to predict how quantum particles behave. For the first time, researchers in China have tested this trick directly in the lab.

Quantum interference offers a radically different way to measure time

A new “quantum watch” uses changing interference patterns inside excited helium atoms to determine how much time has passed ...

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope launches to reveal the Universe’s darkest secrets

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope has launched on a million mile journey to L2, where it will scan huge portions of the cosmos for clues about dark matter, dark energy, and distant worlds. With survey speeds roughly 1,000 times faster than Hubble and a to...
