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

Counting magnetic flux quanta offers new way to measure photon numbers

Researchers at AIST have directly observed magnetic flux quanta generated in a superconductor by photon absorption and demonstrated a new principle of photon detection that identifies the number of photons based on the number of these flux quanta.

Median product "lifespan" has fallen from ~4y down to ~1.5y

The "product graveyard" of SaaSHub has been tracking the status (and lifespan) of hundreds of thousands of products. It's been hovering around 4y for quite some time. However, there's a sharp decline in 2026 leading to about 1.5y...

Why Calling for a ‘Kill Switch’ Is the Wrong Way to Think About Reining in AI

There is no big red button or glass box hiding a lever. In the wake of high-profile hacking incidents involving advanced artificial intelligence agents, some politicians and business executives have been calling for an AI kill switch: a safeguard tha...

AI is solving math problems that stumped humans. What comes next?

A few short years ago, asking AI to add two four-digit numbers together for a third-grade math assignment would have been a bad idea. Over half the time, the answer would be wrong, studies have shown. Long division or a "leaky tank" problem, an algeb...

Hello everyone!About four years ago, a password manager I've used and depended on has been acquired and soon after, it was shut down. If anyone remembers MYKI, it was a password manager that stood out at the time. It didn't require an email...

Experiment shows when quantum 'cat' states stop bouncing back

Quantum systems can occupy superpositions, quantum states that combine different possibilities. For instance, a microwave field can be prepared in a superposition of an empty state and a state that contains microwave light.
