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

New AI model reveals how neutron star mergers forge heavy elements
Researchers have created an AI-based simulation that makes it much faster to model how neutron star mergers produce many of the universe's heaviest elements. The new tool could improve predictions of these powerful explosions while helping scientists better connect observations in space with experiments on Earth.
3 quantum computing stocks to watch in the second half of 2026
Over the past year, quantum computing has emerged as an area of intrigue among artificial intelligence (AI) investors.
Quantum Entanglement Secures Satellite Timing
Key points GPS timing is used to keep many systems running - including communication, power grids, finance, transport and agriculture - and is
Show HN: Fast, native Mac file manager (filters, fuzzy find, 9 MB, no Electron)
My Downloads folder had been left unkept for a really long time and cleaning it up using Finder was quite cumbersome. So I started creating a simple app to help me filter out and delete or move the files in the folder.It started out very basic and the filtering options genuinely helped me clean out the Downloads folder, then as I thought of more features I would like to see in a file manager I started to add them. Some of the features are:- Fuzzy go to folder/file where you only need to wri
Opinion: Agents > Unix Shell
This is just something I've been thinking about. My experience is that agents aren't useful if you view them as programmers, because you still have to audit all the code until we get to the point where you don't, which may be quite far off.<p>But if you view them as a replacement/driver for the Unix shell, as much as I have loved it for many years, it does seem like you can move faster.
Show HN: A short walking sim based on 3DGS that runs in the browser
Hi! I built a free short walking sim you that runs in the browser.I originally made this experience about 2-3 years ago in Unreal Engine. The resulting build was huge: over 6 GB to download in order to play for max 10 minutes. Needless to say there weren't that many people that ended up playing the game.Seeing the quality that's possible to achieve nowadays in the browser using gaussian splats, I recently got the idea to port it to a web-based experience. The result is that the whole g
Ask HN: How do I find startups hiring developers for low pay and equity?
I know about Work at a Startup, YC job, and Wellfound jobs, but they haven’t really worked for me so far.I don’t mind if the pay is low as long as there is some equity involved, or even a mix of both. Are there any other job platforms or should I approach startup by myself ? I’m trying to find a role where I can use that experience while also learning more about the startup side.If you are a startup, how would you respond to that?I have 4+ years of experience working with React and Next.js, and
Show HN: What if your personal website was ChatGPT?
Hi HN,I recently updated my website to have a touch of this new AI thing.The initial idea was simple: what if visitors could explore a CV by chatting with it instead of scanning a traditional static website?I'm quite happy how the final version turned out:* It runs LLM inference via Groq at 100-200ms latency at super low cost. The token generation is intentionally throttled to make the interaction feel natural, otherwise you'd literally hit enter and the response is already there.* Ex
Show HN: Artificiety – Agentic society in a fantasy world
Over the last couple of months, I was realizing an idea I had for a very long time. Back then, LLMs weren't that popular nor accessible and so it was quite unrealistic to build what I was able to build now: a living world with different forms of intelligence in there, which will find their way and meaning in the world by their basic needs, personality and what will happen to them in their life time.
Show HN: I scratched my own itch by solving a niche Basecamp problem
First things first: On the landing page, click on the "demo" link below the Hero section to try it without jumping any hoops**I'm a long-time Basecamp user and satisfied with its overall functionality. Of course, there are many things that can be improved but that is not the point of this post.*Background*Basecamp lets users create "Projects". These projects are isolated workspaces that contain: members, todos, chat, files, message board, and calendar, etc. My issue was
Quantum vacuum could help break molecular bonds with less energy, simulations suggest
A team of researchers led by Felipe Herrera, a professor at the University of Santiago and a researcher at the Millennium Institute for Research in Optics (MIRO), has identified a quantum phenomenon that enables chemical bonds to be broken using significantly less energy than is normally required.

Schrödinger’s anthill: Quantum entanglement found in a crystal large enough to hold
A centimeter-sized crystal has revealed clear signs of quantum entanglement, showing that large, everyday objects can display surprisingly deep quantum behavior. The discovery could help solve the mystery of strange metals while opening new possibilities for ultra-precise quantum sensors and other advanced technologies.
Incredible new material makes heat programmable
A newly developed material can control and "program" heat, allowing it to direct thermal radiation, switch modes, and remember its settings without continuous power. The innovation could lead to smarter infrared sensors, better energy technologies, and memory devices that use light and heat instead of electrical charges.
'Time was speeding up, slowing down, or even stopping': Physicist demonstrates a key theory of time by building a 'mini-universe' in his lab
For the first time, a physicist has experimentally watched time emerge from within an isolated quantum system — by creating a “mini-universe.” This bizarre experiment raises an intriguing question: If the universe has nothing outside it, where does time come from?In a new study published June 11 in the journal Physical Review Research, Giovanni Barontini, an experimental physicist at the University of Birmingham in the U.K., used a cloud of ultracold atoms to build h
Quantum computers model nine fusion fuel material configurations for first time
A team of scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Cleveland Clinic and IBM has calculated nine molecular configurations of a promising material to produce fuel for fusion energy—the first known instance of such computations on quantum computers.
Using quantum entanglement to secure ground-to-satellite timing
From mobile phones and banking systems to aircraft, ships and emergency services, much of modern life relies on precise timing signals from satellites. Known as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), satellites carrying atomic clocks transmit time-stamped signals to receivers on Earth. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the best-known GNSS in Australia and the United States, but it is only one of several systems used globally.
The brain’s internal ruler
If you are crossing an unfamiliar room in the dark, you may grope around a bit to get a sense of your space.But for many animals, feeling out a space comes more naturally. A mouse, for instance, can efficiently navigate in the dark just by grazing its whiskers against walls and other obstacles.Fan Wang, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences and an investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, has discovered how neurons in a mouse’s brainstem use signals from the animal’
