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
Listening in on the human brain cells that produce speech
<p>Nature, Published online: 01 July 2026; <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02004-7">doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02004-7</a></p>By combining recordings from single neurons with artificial-intelligence techniques, specific brain cells have been identified that could enable humans to generate language. These cells, which are distributed broadly across the human brain, encode specific aspects of meaning and grammar and reflect how words are assembled into phrases and sentences.
Nanodiamonds made from tiny graphene triangles
Nature, Published online: 01 July 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02001-wNanodiamonds can host atom-sized light emitters for quantum sensing and imaging, but making nanodiamonds that are small, crystalline and uniform has been difficult. A single-step process for making nanodiamonds only 3–4 nanometres in size uses planar carbon ‘nanographene’ molecules with hydrogen atoms on the edges, and can be adapted to generate fluorescent nanodiamonds.

Show HN: Frontier AI Lab Jobs – Open Jobs by Function at OpenAI, Anthropic
I built this website while exploring job opportunities at AI companies. Coming from an economics & policy background (I've done a good deal of research on the business/economics side gen AI, quantum and other emerging tech but I'm not an AI engineer), I wanted to understand how different roles fit together inside these companies.So I started building a taxonomy to map job postings into departments and functions that is consistent across labs, making it easier for me to underst
Physicists and AI model Claude 'collaborate' to prove a 10-year-old jamming conjecture
A mathematical problem that had remained unsolved for more than 10 years in the physics of complex systems has finally been resolved through an unusual collaboration: one involving two theoretical physicists and an artificial intelligence system. In a study published in the Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, Giorgio Parisi, Nobel Prize winner in physics, and Francesco Zamponi, physicist at LaSapienza University of Rome, show how the AI model Claude contributed to finding th
The brain’s language network is more extensive than previously thought
For decades, neuroscientists have known that specific regions in the brain’s left hemisphere are responsible for processing language. However, a new study by MIT researchers shows that language processing also occurs in many other parts of the brain.Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from more than 700 people, the researchers identified 17 additional regions of the brain that appear to play a role in language. These regions are scattered across the brain, including parts of

Quantum computer simulates hadronization, reproducing string breaking with 104 qubits
By remotely accessing an IBM quantum computer, a research scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has successfully simulated a key process in particle physics: hadronization. Although based on a simplified model of quantum mechanics, the project lays the groundwork for how physicists can leverage the power of quantum computers to make large scientific calculations beyond the capabilities of classical supercomputers. The research is published in the journal Physical Review D.
