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

Two physicists and a curious host walk into a studio…

This March on The Curiosity Desk, GBH’s daily science show with host Edgar B. Herwick III, MIT scientists dropped by to address the questions: “How close are we to observing the dark universe?” (Thursday, March 12 episode) and “Is Earth prepared for asteroids?” (Thursday, March 26 episode).Up first, Prof. Nergis Mavalvala, dean of the MIT School of Science, and Prof. Salvatore Vitale joined the host live in studio to talk about the science behind the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave

Quantum computers need just 10,000 qubits — not the millions we assumed — to break the world's most secure encryption algorithms

Future quantum computers will need to be far less powerful than we thought to threaten the security of encrypted messages, banking information and other sensitive data.

Show HN: Crazierl – An Erlang Operating System

Crazierl is an experimental/hobby operating system based around BEAM.I've linked the browser based demo; I don’t recommend using a phone; it does work, slowly, on the phones I tested, but it’s very awkward to use. You can share a link with a hashtag with your friends and click the consent checkbox, and it (should) link up into dist and I’ve also included a chat application you can start with chat:start(). (quit chat with /quit, or use the shell menu with ctrl-g to switch between s

Ask HN: M5 MacBook Pro buyers, worth spending the $$$ to maybe run LLMs local?

To anyone upgrading their daily driver Mac this year, are you considering going to a Max + high memory config? eg. with the hope (now or in near future) of being able to do usefully run agents/LLMs locally on your main machine?Or is the few extra thousand dollars difference between a base and max-spec MBP still just better spent on literally any other practical option (like different harware, remote hardware, cloud AI subscriptions or credits). Or wait to see if there will be an M5 Studio o

Show HN: Basecut – share subsetted, sanitized prod snapshots with your dev team

Most teams get realistic data into staging one of two ways: write seed scripts that never quite capture production edge cases, or copy the real database and manually scrub emails and phone numbers by hand, hoping they don't miss anything (or, worse yet, not scrubbing at all). We built Basecut to replace both — automated snapshots with masking rules you define once, then restore sanitized copies anywhere. We're currently in early access and would love feedback from people who've de

Ask HN: What do you use for local embeddings?

I built this project Reminder (https://github.com/asim/reminder) when I was first learning about LLMs and RAG. It used OpenAi to generate embeddings and then Fanar for the LLM. I'd basically index the corpus of text, ask the question for the embeddings and pass the results to the LLM for more accurate results and summarisation. It worked quite well. But there's two problems. One it depends on OpenAi embeddings and using their API to continue that. And then the secon

Forget Antibiotics: These Killer Cells Wipe Out Deadly Superbugs in a Day

The genetically engineered cells can be rewired to tackle a range of bacteria in the battle against antibiotic resistance. A mixture of bacteria lounge in a dish. Like the bugs populating our guts, most are benign or beneficial. But a deadly strain hides among them. These bacteria can easily escape last-line antibiotics, rapidly spread, and cause mayhem.But in this case, a single dose of genetically engineered cells hunts them down and wipes out nearly the entire population in a day, while leavi

A surprising new idea about how the Big Bang may have happened

Scientists at the University of Waterloo have uncovered a bold new way to explain how the universe began—one that could reshape our understanding of the Big Bang. Instead of relying on patched-together theories, their approach shows that the universe’s explosive early growth may arise naturally from a deeper framework called quantum gravity.

Show HN: We Built 450 Modular Agent Skills for Medical Research

Hi folks, I’m part of the team building AIPOCH. We just built an open-source library of 450+ executable Agent Skills designed specifically for medical research workflows.These skills built to work with OpenClaw and other AI agent platforms, including OpenCode and Claude. We have encoded specialized medical research logic directly into our Skills. 1. Scientific Integrity Constraints: Implementing Hard Rules 2. Study type identification: We identify the study type first, then execute different log

Show HN: Diffly – A Python package to compare polars dataframes

We built this after having to manually compare new pipeline outputs with older ones too many times to find out why they are different. It is a simple package that, given two polars dataframes and a primary key, produces a nicely formatted summary of differences. It also has some methods to investigate the differences more deeply.

Next-generation optical sensor can read photon spin across UV-to-infrared wavelengths

A research team led by Professor Jiwoong Yang of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has developed next-generation optical sensor technology capable of precisely detecting not only the intensity and wavelength of light but also its rotational direction—the spin information of photons. The team successfully implemented a quantum-dot-based optical sensor that can detect circularly polarized light (CPL) across an ultra-wide spectral range—from ultraviolet to short-wave infrare
