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

Google claims quantum breakthrough as Willow chip runs algorithm 13,000× faster than supercomputers
The big picture: In 2019, Google's Sycamore chip achieved quantum supremacy by solving a random number problem that would have taken the fastest supercomputer 10,000 years to complete. Although that ...
Is consciousness more fundamental to reality than quantum physics?
The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of science is under construction that centres conscious experience – and might unravel the universe’s biggest mysteries
Quantum computing is a national priority, but who’s actually in charge?
There's a lot of hype about its promise, especially because it has this ability for increased processing speed and power," said Candice Wright.
Scientists measure the 'shape' of electrons for the first time, marking a huge advance in quantum physics
For the first time, scientists have measured the 'shape' of an electron in solids, opening the door to advances in quantum materials.
'Quantum Across Illinois' wants to build the next workforce in quantum technology
Since the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park was backed by the state about two years ago, quantum technology developers have been looking to grow the sector's workforce. "Quantum Across Illinois" is visiting the state's universities, including Illinois State, to recruit students and promote the initiative.
This ultracold quantum device turns electricity into something far stranger that could unlock sound-based lasers
Researchers at McGill University have developed a novel device that generates sound-like particles known as phonons at ...
Physicists Simulated a Quantum Process That Could End The Universe
We consider a vacuum to be the lowest energy state of the Universe. But it's possible that there's an even lower-energy, more ...
Quantum chips could scale faster with new spin-qubit readout that reduces sensors and wiring
Quantum computers, devices that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could tackle some tasks that are ...
Light can now be shaped in empty space, and it could simplify sensing and boost data links
Scientists at the University of East Anglia have uncovered a hidden property of light that allows it to twist, spin and behave differently—without mirrors, materials or special lenses. In a breakthrough that could transform medical testing, data transmission and future quantum technologies, researchers from the UK and South Africa have shown that light can be "programmed" simply by exploiting its natural geometry.
Sony’s Table-Tennis Robot Beat Elite Human Players With Unorthodox Moves
AI long ago surpassed humans at games like chess and Go. Now it’s powering robots that can challenge top athletes. Peter Dürr could barely follow the table-tennis ball as it zoomed across the net, each strike’s trajectory designed to perplex the opponent. This was no ordinary match: Taira Mayuka, one of the top players in the world, was on one side—on the other, was a robot called Ace.Mayuka launched a twisting smash that should have nailed a point. But in the blink of an eye, Ace answered
NASA Curiosity rover finds mysterious life linked molecules on mars
Curiosity has detected a surprising variety of organic molecules on Mars, including compounds tied to the chemistry of life. Some of these molecules may be billions of years old, preserved in ancient clay-rich rocks that once held water. One standout find resembles building blocks of DNA, raising exciting questions about Mars’ past. Although not proof of life, the discovery suggests the Red Planet may have once been far more biologically promising than we thought.
Scientists catch antimatter “atom” acting like a wave for the first time
Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has been pushed even further. For the first time, researchers have observed wave-like interference in positronium, an exotic “atom” made of an electron and its antimatter partner, a positron. This breakthrough not only strengthens the weird reality of quantum mechanics but also opens the door to new experiments involving antimatter, including the possibility of testing how gra
Cisco’s Universal Quantum Switch and the rise of the quantum fabric
Quantum will not replace classical infrastructure; it will augment it where the economics justify it. Cisco’s universal ...
Show HN: Prediction market analysis app layering LLMs with data APIs
I created a prediction market analysis app after trying prediction markets and doing quite poorly. I wondered if AI-driven predictions could be better with the right data. Depending on the model you use the answer swings wildly between definitely not and yes. Gemini 3 Flash and Sonnet have done well with complex pipeline analysis instructions. Examples of some data apis are FRED, the NWS, Open-Meteo, CoinGecko, congress.gov. I also incorporated general search queries with Serper and Tavily.In fu
Show HN: Need Human Lawyer – when AI for legal work isn't enough
This idea came from real life. I was doing fine being my own lawyer but I reached that point where I really needed to cc someone to make my point. There's also the case of when you just get too deep into legal issues and really do need a human with a law degree helping. The idea is anyone can send an email or cc an existing thread to:[email protected] will open a request file and reply-all to everyone on the email. Not quite the same as cc [email protected] but still, i
Show HN: Music from Your Git History
Ever want to hear the music of your commit history? Now you can! My latest musical weekend project is Rebass - music from your git history.<p>It's not quite there yet, IMHO. I'd love suggestions on how to make the _music_ better. It's better with non-linear histories.<p>code is here: <a href="https://github.com/adamf/rebass" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/adamf/rebass</a>
Show HN: Vaava – a baby routine tracker / logging app
Vaava - it is a baby tracker / logging app.
It was originally built mainly for my own use, but it is now available in both app stores.
It has the same basic features that you could imagine. You can save built-in events feeding, sleep, diapers. You can also create custom events for any events you like. It has reminders, a week view, trends visualization, a 'my day' builder to help you think about the baby routines.The market for baby logging apps is already quite niche, but there i
This massive 3D map of 47 million galaxies could unlock dark energy
A massive cosmic milestone has just been reached: scientists have completed the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe ever created. Built using data from over 47 million galaxies and quasars, this map could unlock new clues about dark energy—the mysterious force driving the universe’s expansion. Despite setbacks like wildfire disruptions, the international DESI collaboration powered through, gathering an unprecedented dataset that already hints dark energy may behave in unexpected ways.
