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

A tabletop ring of atoms brings the universe's doomsday vacuum collapse into the lab

Physicists in China have simulated the effect of "false vacuum decay": a phenomenon believed to play out constantly in the seemingly empty expanses of space, and which one theory even suggests could bring an abrupt end to the entire universe. In a paper published in Physical Review Letters, Yu-Xin Chao and colleagues at Tsinghua University, Beijing, mimicked the effect using a simple tabletop experiment.

“Giant superatoms” could finally solve quantum computing’s biggest problem

In the pursuit of powerful and stable quantum computers, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed the theory for an entirely new quantum system – based on the novel concept of ‘giant superatoms’. This breakthrough enables quantum information to be protected, controlled, and distributed in new ways and could be a key step towards building quantum computers at scale.

Show HN: A better way to compare job offers than just salary

I built a small tool to compare job offers more completely than just looking at base salary.When I was evaluating roles, I kept running into tradeoffs that were hard to reason about. One offer might have a higher salary, another better benefits, fewer working hours, or lower commute cost. Comparing them side by side was surprisingly messy.So this tool breaks compensation down into a few groups:- pay (salary, bonus, equity)- time (working hours, vacation, holidays, commute time)- benefits paid by

Black hole wakes after 100 million years and erupts like a cosmic volcano

A colossal “cosmic volcano” has erupted in deep space, as a supermassive black hole in galaxy J1007+3540 roars back to life after nearly 100 million years of silence. Astronomers captured stunning radio images showing fresh jets blasting outward while crashing into the intense pressure of a surrounding galaxy cluster, creating a chaotic, distorted structure stretching nearly a million light-years.

Quantum computers are coming to break our codes faster than anyone expected

IBMOnline data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s supercomputers, working together for 10,000 years, could not crack it. But last month, Google and others released results suggesting a new kind of computer – a quantum computer – might be able to open the vault with significantly less resources than previously thought.The changes are coming on two fronts.

The Quantum Computing ETF That Could Be Bigger Than AI, and 2 Tech Funds Riding the Same Wave

Quantum computing is no longer a physics experiment. Google’s Willow chip, IBM’s quantum roadmap expansion, and IonQ’s commercial contracts have pushed the technology from research labs toward real enterprise applications. Markets are pricing in the possibility that quantum could deliver an inflection point similar to generative AI in 2023. The question for investors is how ...
