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

Superconducting qubit chain drives dephasing to zero without error correction

Superconducting qubit noise protection takes a new form: a seven-member international team demonstrates theoretically that a ...

Tackling rare genetic disorders with patient-focused science

Shannon Knight attributes her interest in neuroscience to an experience she had in high school. She and her sister attended a medical day for students at the nearby University of Illinois Chicago. As they were on their way out of the event, they walked past a room with a person holding a brain.“We stopped and backpedaled into the room, and I was so fascinated,” says Knight. “I was able to hold the brain of a patient who had passed away of Alzheimer’s. The brain holds so much emotion, decision-ma

DeepMind’s Weather AI Predicts Hurricanes a Day Earlier Than Traditional Forecasting

For communities in the crosshairs, every extra hour counts. When Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica in 2025, it was the strongest storm ever to hit the island. The hurricane’s rapid intensification left forecasters stunned.But thanks to WeatherNext, an AI model developed by Google DeepMind, the island had an early warning. Working with the National Hurricane Center, the model predicted Melissa’s sudden jump in strength with nearly 100 percent confidence three days in advance. That gave e

Quantum Latin squares cannot solve Euler's 36 officers problem without entanglement

Latin squares are arrangements of symbols in a grid in which every symbol appears exactly once in each row and column. These ...

Show HN: A Buyer's Editor to Fix B2B Procurement PDF Hell with API and MCP

22+ years as a Software engineer/programmer.For a reason that only life can explain, in the last 8 years i went from Adobe Flash Specialist to owning a small solar installation business and a small electric and plumbing materials. o.OWe had a problem every time that we had to resupply or shop for new goods. In Brazil, things are manual in B2B and restricted to PDF Quotations/Proforma negotiations. Nobody has ecommerce, only the middlemen that resell what they buy from the factory with

Is there still a functioning team behind replicate.com?

I have been using replicate.com for some fun projects. I recently encountered a problem. I submitted an official support request a week ago.There was zero response at all. The problem is still there. What is going on with replicate.com?The issue was quite serious.---I am using the JS client to submit lora training job for model ostris/flux-dev-lora-trainer. It was all good before yesterday.The end point returns 500 with body: {"detail":"An unexpected error ocurred"}But i

First-of-its-kind narcolepsy drug opens door to new therapies for the brain

<p>Nature, Published online: 17 August 2026; <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02552-y">doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02552-y</a></p>The drug, called Orzeyful, takes aim at the root cause of the sleep disorder rather than at its symptoms.

Quantum light engine links atom-photon thermodynamics to classical physics

What is heat, and what is useful work if a machine consists only of an atom and light particles? In modern quantum technologies, this kind of question connects thermodynamics with quantum physics. Researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, have developed a theoretical approach that can reconcile both theories.

Dice design solves board gaming's most surprisingly complex problem—who goes first?

It took nearly 15 years, researchers around the world and enough computing power to search through a universe of possibilities to answer one question: Who goes first?

DNA shaper steers nervous system development

A functional nervous system depends on the cooperation of many kinds of cells. So as developing organisms build their nervous systems, their neurons must take on different forms and functions to fulfill their designated roles. That carefully orchestrated process gives rise to thousands of different cell types in the human brain.In the tiny worm known as C. elegans, the nervous system is far simpler, comprising a mere 118 classes of neurons.At MIT, scientists in H. Robert Horvitz’s lab are studyi

QpiAI opens quantum processor manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, targets 10,000 physical qubits

Bengaluru-based quantum computing startup QpiAI has opened an 8-inch quantum foundry to scale production of quantum processors, with plans to reach 10,000 physical qubits. The facility forms part of its 70,000 sq ft R&D centre and will support the development of quantum-AI solutions.

Shortcut for simulating logical magic states could accelerate the design of fault-tolerant quantum computers

Three photons at once beat the standard photon test

Physicists at the University of Twente have improved the standard test for the quality of individual particles of light. By letting three photons interfere at the same time instead of two, they draw more information from every measurement. Their experiment outperforms even a perfect, noise-free run of the old method. The work appeared in Physical Review Letters.

Gluons may play a central role in baryon number conservation—and matter's stability

New results from the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) suggest that gluons, the glue-like particles that hold quarks together inside protons, play a central role in the conservation of baryon number—an essential part of a particle's quantum identity.

Physicists predict a new form of quantum matter that holds itself together

Researchers at Monash University have predicted a new type of quantum matter that challenges decades of thinking about how ultracold particles behave. The paper, "Quantum droplets in a resonant Bose-Fermi mixture," is published in Physical Review Letters.

Graphene device measures fractional electric charges carried by some of quantum physics' strangest objects

An electron is supposed to be indivisible. It carries one fundamental unit of electric charge, and every electron is exactly the same. But under extreme conditions, large numbers of electrons act together and give rise to new quantum objects called quasiparticles. These act as if they carry only a fraction of an electron's charge, making them one of the strangest phenomena in modern physics.

Anomalous quantum oscillations reveal new physics in a topological insulator

A study has been published in Nature Communications that identifies an unusual regime of quantum oscillations in a three-dimensional topological insulator. The results show that, when subjected to temperatures near absolute zero and extreme magnetic fields, electrons in the material zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe₅) exhibit behavior that deviates from the pattern predicted by conventional theory.
