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

Human brain cells transplanted into mice in ‘most extensive’ integration ever

Nature, Published online: 16 September 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02912-8Lab-grown organoids wire into mice missing a key part of their brain, offering a new way to test drugs for developmental conditions.

Hot electrons reveal electronic collisions may raise resistance in twisted graphene

When a material heats up, its electrical resistance often rises. The harder question is what, exactly, is getting in the way. The electrons carrying the current may be scattered by vibrations of the material's atomic lattice, known as phonons. They m...
