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
Show HN: A tool to auto-generate .vscode/settings.json and extensions.json
Hello HN,I built a tool that automatically generates .vscode's settings.json and extensions.json.## Why I built thisAt my job, our project didn't have a properly set up dev environment, and each developer managed their own .vscode settings individually. I felt this was hurting PR review efficiency due to formatting differences and similar issues.We were allowed to use Claude Code, but .vscode is treated as a protected directory, so it wouldn't reliably create or update these files
Show HN: Remaking Unreal engine in Rust for coding agents
Hi HN! I'm kevin, cofounder of https://machinesatplay.com, a multiplayer 3d gaming engine for codex/claude code.TLDR: we're rebuilding unreal engine without the editor in rust meant to be used through the CLI. its open source/MIT. You prompt your favorite coding harness to create a game, and it'll give you a <name>.machinesatplay.com linkSome multiplayer games built with it:cubg: claudeunknownplayerbattle ground: https://pubg.machinesatplay.com&
Show HN: Run your GitHub Actions locally or self-hosted in isolated microvms
Hey HN. I've been frustrated with Github Actions' reliability, and inability to run workflows locally. Preloop is a Rust reimplementation of the GitHub Actions, both the runner(tracking the latest version) and the control plane that runs in hardware-isolated microvms on MacOS/Linux/Windows(we use smolvm project that uses the libkrun vmm).The microvms starts in <400ms from a packed artifact, and cow-clones for each job are instant. The control plane speaks the exact officia
Show HN: Mail Attachment Lens: A Browser extension to manage Gmail attachments
Recently, I was getting close to Google’s free storage limit, and the storage manager showed that Gmail was using most of it.I wanted a simple way to see my attachments in one place, download the files I wanted to keep, and remove emails with attachments I no longer needed. Gmail search can find emails with attachments, but it doesn’t provide a convenient file-based view.So I built a browser extension called Mail Attachment Lens. It lets me search and filter attachments, download files, and move
Show HN: Voice driven murder mystery, Interview AI suspects with your voice
Hey HN!I'm excited to show off this really fun project I put together. I originally built this project 2-3 years ago, AI was already booming at the time, however voice AI agents were still very early. I loved my proof of concept at the time, but wasn't quite happy with it.I recently had the desire to check out the tech again, and know many of you will be interested.Interviews are speech to speech with OpenAI's gpt-realtime-2.1 over WebRTC. This model is... expensive, and because o
Sunlight-powered setup generates quantum entanglement
Today's quantum technologies rely on energy-intensive lasers, raising concerns that scaling them up could further increase ...
University of Ottawa scientists produce quantum entanglement using sunlight
Sunlight produced entangled photons in an outdoor experiment, challenging the belief that these quantum links require carefully controlled lasers. The photon pairs closely matched an ideal entangled state and displayed correlations that classical physics could not fully explain.
Chemists set electrons free and break a decades-old chemistry barrier
Chemists have developed a catalyst that breaks a long-standing rule governing which molecules receive electrons during chemical reactions. By releasing electrons directly into solution, the technique could unlock reactions—and potentially useful new molecules—that were previously out of reach.
A 0.42-nanometer breakthrough could push transistors beyond silicon
Atomically thin semiconductors could enable dramatically smaller and more efficient chips, but a stubborn problem at the boundary between materials has limited their performance. Researchers have now engineered that atomic interface to protect electron flow while still allowing extremely thin insulating layers. The resulting transistors delivered an unusually strong combination of electrical control and performance.
IonQ vs. D-Wave Quantum: Which Quantum Computing Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
Both companies are burning cash and unprofitable, but their technology bets and customer rosters tell a starkly different story.
Quantum breakthrough uses anyons to achieve universal computing power
Researchers demonstrated a universal quantum computing method using non-Abelian anyons, allowing a system to perform any quantum calculation through braiding and fusion. Built on Quantinuum’s 54-qubit H2 trapped-ion processor, the approach uses topological qutrits to protect information from local disturbances and reduce errors.

IBM just bought a quantum bet it doesn’t build. Days later, the payoff hit Nature.
HRL published a silicon quantum processor that runs its own error correction from inside the fridge. Six days earlier, IBM agreed to acquire HRL.
D-Wave’s $550M Quantum Computing Bet Makes Error Correction 10X Cheaper
D-Wave's massive January acquisition of Quantum Circuits is paying off: way better error correction, making quantum computing faster and easier.

Meteorite that smashed through a New Jersey roof reveals clues to life’s origins
A rare meteorite that crashed through a New Jersey roof contains evidence of ancient salty fluids, organic compounds, and amino acids from a primitive asteroid. Its pristine chemistry could offer new clues about how space rocks helped supply early Earth with some of the ingredients needed for life.
New fuel cell breakthrough could help power energy-hungry data centers
A new nanostructured carbon design lets fuel-cell catalysts use tiny amounts of platinum while remaining remarkably stable and efficient. The breakthrough could help hydrogen fuel cells become a more practical way to power data centers, vehicles, and other energy-intensive technologies.
