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
Content for Clicks: AI Is Tearing Up the Web’s Social Contract
As AI eats traffic, the best sites are locking it out, making reliable information harder to find. For 30 years, the world wide web has run on a surprisingly profound social contract. Most sites are free for search engines to access, but if you use t...
Neutral-atom quantum processors get chip-scale photonic link: Osaka hits 10 channels
Quantum photonic interconnect milestone: Osaka University's glass waveguide chip links 10 neutral-atom quantum processor ...
Show HN: Notes Plus – A 100% Markdown Apple Notes Clone
tldr: clone of Apple Notes, but every note is a local Markdown file.Hi, I used a summer of unemployment to actually finalize a hobby project, a literal clone of Apple's Notes, with open access to the filesystem, meaning each note is just a markd...

French quantum computing firm Pasqal completes SPAC merger and goes public
The French firm is the fourth quantum computing company to go public via a SPAC merger in 2026, following Infleqtion, IQM ...
Strange behavior in focused laser light could change how quantum computers control qubits
Physicists have directly observed the optical Magnus effect for the first time by mapping how a tightly focused laser interacts with a single trapped calcium ion. The strongest atom-light interaction ...
Infleqtion supplies Japanese research team with QPU for neutral-atom quantum computer
Quantum computing firm Infleqtion has supplied a Japanese research team with a quantum processing unit (QPU) to support the ...
Show HN: I built a real-time translator for Google Meet
I originally didn’t want to build a small tool like this myself — a real-time translation Chrome extension. I assumed there should already be mature products on the market.But after doing some research, I found that the existing real-time translation...
How are you referring to software + agents?
We’re increasingly building products where some tasks are solved deterministically by code, while others are handled probabilistically by agents.“Agents” doesn’t quite capture it, because agents can’t (and probably shouldn’t) do everything. “Harness”...
Show HN: Throttling AI models under load can backfire and increase demand (SIM)
OP here: TL-DR: When AI providers silently swap weaker models under high demand, this can cause even more demand as users tend to re-ask. This is even worse for agents. Both of these effects cause even higher load on the data centers. I guess all of...
Show HN: Slopyard – a textboard inspired gallery for vibecoded tools
I think a lot of us spent quite some amount of time and tokens to finish tons of little side projects or just materialize ideas.I would like to see what people made, however, I also believe that the source code or implementation of these is not usefu...
Cognition and consciousness arise from analog computations, says new theory
A new theory, published in The Journal of Neuroscience by three scientists in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT, offers an explanation of how the brain produces cognition and consciousness: It uses traveling waves of rhythmic neura...
Switching gravity on and off leaves particles behind, mathematical model finds
Hawking radiation causes black holes to eventually evaporate. This is because particle pairs are spontaneously created near the event horizon (the position of the last ray of light that can escape the black hole's gravitational pull). A particle and...
Ten-channel photonic interface links neutral-atom qubits in parallel
A research group in Japan has demonstrated a world-record 10-channel multiplexed quantum photonic interface based on an integrated waveguide array, a key technology for optically interconnecting multiple quantum computers. The study is published in t...
First observation of optical Magnus effect could sharpen quantum computer control

Atlas of the brain’s striatum could guide researchers to new drug treatments
A region of the brain called the striatum is critical for many cognitive and motor functions, including decision-making, control of movement, habit formation, and processing of reward. It also plays a role in addiction and is significantly affected b...
