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
Scientists Push Molecules on a Surface to the Ultimate Quantum Limit
A molecule placed on a surface should be easier to probe and manipulate than one hidden inside a solid or suspended in vacuum ...
Scientists generated quantum entanglement straight from sunlight, skipping the usual lasers
Quantum entanglement, the strange link that ties two particles together so that measuring one instantly reveals something about the other, is usually manufactured with a laser. Researchers shine a pre ...
Show HN: Run open-weight OCR, VLM and vision models behind one API
Hey HN. We built an openai-compatible API for running open-weight VLMs, OCR VLMs and ViT-based vision models.The motivation was mostly frustration when running these models in production and discovering all the details around serving VLMs, especially...
Dual-purpose qubit design could speed operations while cutting quantum errors
Researchers from MIT have designed a new qubit architecture that enables qubits to interact with each other much more quickly ...
Anthropic’s Claude Can Now Autonomously Run Science Experiments With Lab Equipment
A new system allows agents to orchestrate complex experimental processes and extends Anthropic’s reach into the physical world. Scientific research often depends on complex laboratory equipment that only specialists know how to use. But Anthrop...
Ask HN: Looking for a sci-fi short story posted here
I've been digging around for a short story that I read that was posted here sometime in the past year or so.In the story, some kind of deep future researcher finds an intelligence stored in a vast archive and plugs it into a humanoid terminal to...
Harvard scientists turn knitting into shape-shifting smart fabric
Harvard researchers have transformed ordinary knitting into a platform for creating fabrics that can snap between different shapes and perform useful functions. Using elastic yarns and industrial knitting techniques, the team engineered thick textile...
Magic-angle graphene provides evidence for unconventional superconductivity
Researchers have completely suppressed superconductivity in magic-angle graphene by screening interactions between electrons, helping resolve a long-running debate about the origin of the phenomenon.
Show HN: Unofficial 3DS Port of F-Zero X Written by Claude Code
Hello HN! Sharing this because I think it's mind blowing, but I was able to port F-Zero X to 3DS using Claude Code. I learned quite a bit about how to guide Claude Code towards completing such a large project, but it's also filled me with q...
Can a full moon really bring bad luck? What about Friday the 13th?
Jeffrey Rosenthal was a young professor at the University of Toronto when he discovered he was born on a Friday—though not just any Friday.
MIT turns bacteria into living transistors
MIT researchers have created bacterial “transistors” that can be wired together into living circuits capable of performing calculations and directing chemical signals. One day, these biological computers could coat plant roots or leaves, detecting en...
Dying radio galaxies fade faster than scientists expected
Astronomers have identified a surprisingly young population of fading radio galaxies whose supermassive black holes have already switched off their powerful jets. The confirmed remnants range from about 8 to 42 million years old, suggesting many may...
"Milestone of technology": New ion trap quantum computer in Jülich
Electromagnetic fields hold ytterbium ions in a vacuum. This allows calculations with Qubits, now available in Jülich.
