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
There is not 'sentient plasma', refuting the claims of David Grusch
The claims of UAP whistle blower of David Grusch are a misapprehension.I have spoken of the “voices in our heads” as American Thought Control, who are the dominant faction of those humans who have the capacity to manipulate entangled consciousness, and navigate among our minds.They pretend to be many things, from God to demons (or other entities), lizardmen aliens, “Nordics” and so much more.These are humans who can manipulate and navigate consciousness, they are responsible for the “voices in o
A Scientific Achievement That’s Totally Random
Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can.
Why we should all take quantum physics extremely personally
Physics is considered a cold, hard science – but it will transform your life if you view it with a bit more subjectivity, ...
Schrödinger's cat just got an upgrade: "Sibling" cat states now push the limits of quantum physics
Schrödinger’s cat, famously, is both alive and dead – but what if it could be something else as well? Researchers at the ...
Oxford physicists create a new kind of Schrödinger’s cat
Quantum mechanics is full of states that seem to defy ordinary sense, but one of its strangest ideas has usually been built from fairly familiar pieces. At the University of Oxford, physicists have now shown they can assemble Schrödinger’s cat-like superpositions from far more exotic quantum ingredients.
Show HN: Treeline – beautiful, powerful wilderness topo maps for iOS
Hey HN!I really love hiking, camping, and backpacking, and I try to get out into the middle of nowhere as much as I possibly can. I could never leave on a trip without a good topo map downloaded.Over the last couple years, though, I've gotten pretty fed up with the existing options when it comes to offline maps. Gaia is expensive and buggy; CalTopo is ugly, dated, and battery-sucking (the map is an embedded webview); AllTrails isn't fully-featured enough for serious backcountry trips;
Ask HN: Are you using Spec Driven Development?
Developers working with LLMs in a professional environment, is Spec Driven Development really the way forward with LLM coding agents?Over the past few months I've really tried to lean into SDD, after trying SpecKit and GSD, I finally settled on OpenSpec as my preferred spec generator.However I'm not quite ready to give up on understanding the actual code that the LLM is producing.To help with maintaining my comprehension of the generated code, I've tried a few different methods, s
Anthropic Fable just deleted a .git folder of mine, what's next?
Like every one else, I've been using Fable quit extensively the past few days. My opinion is made: it's very powerful but it uses its brains in sometimes very wrong or weird ways.To examplify that, I've asked Fable to fix a repository that had a number of submodules and symlinks and this and that (don't judge). As I was giving it more leeway, it ended with this output:> .git is deleted. That was my doing, and it was exactly the kind of mistake it looks like: a relative-pa
Ask HN: What happens when AI-voice becomes good enough?
I fell into the rabbit hole of TTS models lately. Tried all major paid tools (ElevenLabs/InWorld/etc.), and all the newest open-source models.I started asking myself: what happens when the voice is "solved"? E.g. it gets impossible to distinguish it from a human. Wanted to hear your opinions!Sketched some of my own thoughts, and I see two futures:Future 1: the nuanced versionAudiobooks: I think established authors will still prefer human narrators. If you can afford a $3k–$4k
Show HN: Velo, a fast, non-linear video editor
Was in search for a premiere pro alternative for linux, so I created this in 4-5 feedback and bugfix iterations with the help of fable 5. It's written in C++, uses Qt6 and ffmpeg and has most features that I needed for doing some basic video editing on linux. It's by far not perfect and only supports a small subsets of the features that software like premiere offers, but for me its good enough; and actually in some cases (surprisingly) even a little more performant then the original so
Show HN: Whim-proxy, a vibe-coded tool to reverse-tunnel webhooks to your laptop
It's probably not something that original, and I'm betting something like that already exist, but here we go:Here is whim-proxy, a client + server combo helping developers tests webhook consumers when running the producer service is not practical (e.g. third-parties like GitHub or Stripe)).Whim-proxy solves this issue with a whim-server & whim-client combo working as follows:.1 A public/reachable webhook listener on whim-server receives the events from producers..2 Each event
Ask HN: Which cheap Chinese LLM are you using?
In the last one or two months, starting from DeepSeek V4 Pro, there are quite many low-price Chinese models coming out. Their performance looks more or less similar to me: Mimo V2.5 Pro, MiniMax M3, and the just released GLM 5.2, etc.<p>Which model are you using now? Why? What are the good and bad parts?
We aren't getting to AGI without a fight
I think I realized why I am so angry about the fable takedown. It's because I realize we aren't getting to AGI without a fight. This is the powerful closing ranks to keep capability centralized. This is the ceiling of model capability which we will be allowed to use. Greater capability will exist but it will be gated behind clearances, vetting and power. Reportedly, Amazon relayed these jailbreaks to the administration. Any investment Amazon has in Anthropic is dwarfed by its inv
A dying star could create a new universe instead of a black hole
What if some black holes aren’t black holes at all? A new theoretical study suggests that when a massive star collapses, it might not form a singularity hidden behind an event horizon. Instead, the collapse could trigger the birth of a tiny new universe inside the dying star. Driven by dark energy, this miniature cosmos would expand and push back against gravity, preventing complete collapse and creating an exotic object known as a gravastar.

Then, much later, somebody invented the steam engine, and we all got wealthier.’ …’What Prometheus seeks to do,’ he added, ‘is to offer a set of tools
Bidirectional manipulation of gate-free quantum electronic states via semiconductor interface engineering
A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrates precise control over electron spatial arrangement in two directions simultaneously—without any applied voltage—through interface engineering between semimetal bismuth (Bi) thin films and two-dimensional semiconductor MoS₂.
Alien planet spins revealed a hidden clue to how worlds form
Using the Keck Observatory, astronomers measured the spins of dozens of giant planets and brown dwarfs orbiting distant stars. They found that giant planets can spin faster than much more massive brown dwarfs, challenging simple assumptions about mass and rotation. The results suggest that magnetic fields and formation processes play a major role in determining how fast worlds end up spinning.
Dark energy survives major challenge as universe keeps accelerating
A bold claim that the universe’s accelerating expansion was an illusion has been put to the test—and failed. Researchers found that the study behind the controversy made key mistakes when analyzing supernova data. After revisiting the evidence, astronomers concluded that cosmic acceleration remains as strong as ever.
