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
Ask HN: Co-Founder(s). Do I need any? How would I even find them?
I'm a technologist and have experience in academia, private, and now public sector work. I had an idea stewing in the back of my mind for about a year and it became 'fully-formed' enough to be a proof-of-concept such that I filed a pro...

The Next Frontier Is Not Artificial Intelligence—It’s Artificial Societies
We’re fixated on the intelligence of single agents. The more profound challenge is what happens when millions of them interact at scale. There is a temptation to divide the future of AI into two possibilities: utopia or catastrophe. Neither ext...
Take a risk or play it safe? Neuronal tug-of-war helps the brain decide
Nature, Published online: 17 September 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02911-9Using a video game involving bombs and treasure chests, researchers show how neural activity flickers between two regions of the frontal cortex when the brain weighs up a tric...
