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

Was Einstein wrong about anything?
Albert Einstein gave us the theory of relativity, explained the photoelectric effect and predicted the existence of gravitational waves. He revolutionized our understanding of space, time and gravity.In fact, he is so famous for his brilliance that "Einstein" is synonymous with "genius." But being a genius doesn't mean you're infallible. So was Einstein wrong about anything?"For sure, he was wrong about tons of things," Nicolás Yunes, a theoretical physicist at the Un
Physicists recreate black hole energy extraction in the lab
Researchers have recreated the physics of extracting energy from a spinning black hole using a stationary device that produces synthetic ultrafast rotation. The achievement transforms a long-standing theoretical idea into a practical experiment and could inspire new advances in optics, wireless communications, and quantum science.
Why gold never tarnishes has finally been explained
Gold may have a secret self-defense system that helps it resist tarnishing. Researchers discovered that atoms on gold surfaces reorganize themselves into patterns that block oxygen from reacting with the metal, suppressing oxidation by up to a trillion-fold. Beyond explaining why gold jewelry stays bright for generations, the finding could help scientists create more powerful gold-based catalysts for manufacturing and clean energy.
Show HN: River Rescue – Game mechanic for 3yo
I've been looking for games adapted for 3 yo for a while and it's not obvious as they start to develop a good judgement and are determined but also not quite timely and agile enough for most entry level game.The idea is to make use of their developing judgement.So the idea is to use the following game mechanic:
1. The child sees two possible pieces or actions.
2. They choose one and place it.
3. The game updates the situation.
4. They can test immediately or continue.
5. There is no ti
Show HN: The Flint Programming Language
I am happy to finally announce the language I have been working on for the last 2 years, [Flint](https://flint-lang.github.io)!Flint is a high-level, statically and strongly typed, compiled language which centers around transparency as its core pillar. The compiler is entirely written in C++. It originated from one simple idea and core concept:> What happens when you center the whole language on an ECS-inspired composition-based paradigm?And so the journey began. The core idea is si
Show HN: Quantum hardware now fault-tolerant without extra engineering
Before you say it's impossible, please go try.---CIQA, an analytic Quantum Error Correction code, is now freely accessible on GitHub alongside CIQS, the 'million-qubit compiler'.Here's a brief overview of the stack:1. CIQS - An analytic circuit transpilation pipeline (no heuristics, no tunable parameters).
It passed the full IBM Benchpress transpilation suite (892/892 tests) in 75 minutes on older hardware, while Qiskit took 17+ hours.
It scales linearly to 1M+ qubits on
Show HN: Standalone SearXNG CLI+MCP (no server needed)
Hi HN,
Codex and Claude are pretty good at (re)searching things on the web these days, but the open coding agents (OpenCode, pi coding agent and friends) don't have access to the labs' proprietary search APIs. I wasn't happy with this state of affairs, and wanted a truly open source version that was portable and harness independent.I'd previously implemented agentic web search using SearxNG for treechat.com with good results, so that was my first choice. The problem is that S

Science news this week: Time emerges inside a mini-universe, scientists thicken Arctic ice, and one of the oldest graves of a free Black person in the US found
This week's science news was filled with big discoveries from the world of the small, led by a physicist's creation of a mini-universe, which was designed so we can watch time emerge from within an isolated quantum system.The experiment was performed using a Bose-Einstein condensate — a strange state of matter that consists of thousands of atoms blended into a single quantum object at near absolute zero (minus 273.15 degrees Celsius, or minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit
Does fast charging damage your battery more than regular charging?
Fast charging seems to be almost everywhere. Many smartphones can go from nearly empty to more than 50% charged in about half an hour, while some electric vehicles can add hundreds of miles of range during a quick charging stop. But batteries aren't perfect; their capacity degrades over time. Given that fast charging delivers more power in a shorter amount of time, does fast charging damage batteries? Scientists say the answer is yes, but it's more complicated than yo
This electric field trick boosted heat flow by nearly 300%
Researchers discovered that electricity can dramatically reshape how heat flows through certain ceramic materials, increasing heat conduction by almost threefold in a preferred direction. The unexpected result could lead to much more efficient cooling technologies and energy-saving devices.

Physicists finally build a quantum material predicted more than a decade ago
Researchers have achieved a major milestone by creating a long-sought two-dimensional quantum material and confirming its unusual conducting edge states. The ability to control these states through strain could make the material a promising platform for future room-temperature quantum electronics.
Tiny bubbles could revolutionize inkjet printing
Ultra-fine bubbles may offer a cleaner way to perfect inkjet printing for next-generation electronics. By simply changing the number of bubbles in each droplet, researchers were able to dramatically reshape the final printed pattern without leaving behind unwanted chemical residues.
Europe just unveiled a new rival to SpaceX’s Starship
A detailed independent study found that SpaceX's Starship is every bit as revolutionary as expected, while revealing both its impressive capabilities and its biggest remaining hurdles. It also introduces an ambitious European rocket concept that could offer a very different route to affordable super heavy launches.
