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: TossedTheTVKeptTheRemote – VIA-like configuration to reuse IR remotes

I wanted some way of repurposing my old Apple TV remote and I was surprised that no one had already made this.I tried to make a ZMK module instead of this standalone project but the web configurator is quite lacking right now.Feel free to suggest (or...

Ask HN: How do you build organic traction as an indie dev?

I have recently become a fulltime indie gamedev.While I'm willing to trust myself on technical and creative output, the topic of getting the word out that I might release something interesting and worth people's time seems to have become in...

A mysterious signal around Earth could be dark matter

Scientists used Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere as a planet-sized detector to search for some of the lightest proposed forms of dark matter. The approach dramatically improved limits on ultralight axions and uncovered several intriguing dark ph...
