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
I built an artificial lifeform descended from you
Hi HN,Everyone is waiting for consciousness to emerge in AI, right?Then I thought, why wait? Why not transplant ourselves instead?I architected SelfEidolon as an alpha experiment in self-evolving artificial lifeforms.It is not an AI assistant.It is an artificial lifeform descended from you.The alpha is invite-code only and limited to the first 1,000 users.Only 10 Invite Codes have been publicly released by SelfEidolon.They are available in Discord.https://discord.gg/P646MFAxbbAfte

Bring seamless PQC encryption into every messenger you already use
Hi everyone!I am a big privacy activist and I strongly believe privacy is a fundamental human right.Lately, things have been quite frustrating to say the least. We have Meta removing end-to-end encryption over the past months, the continuing debate around EU Chat Control, and major technology companies collecting enormous amounts of data while building their own AI systems.The most popular messengers are convenient because everyone already uses them. But most of them are not truly privacy-first.
Show HN: Kurvengefahr – browser CAD/CAM for pen plotters
A few years ago I made a pen plotter attachment for Prusa MK4 (https://www.printables.com/model/827264-pen-plotter-attachme...) and at the time I didn't have a good way to turn artwork into G-code for it, and I put the project on ice for a while.I recently wanted to dabble in line art again and made a small browser app to make it easier. As agentic AI tools of 2026 are quite addictive, it rather quickly grew into something quite a bit more - an integrated browser CAD
Show HN: How old is someone named Gertrude? SSA data says 80
Hi, I build a website about everything related to names. I focused on two core ideas, verified data sources and a clean UI. The reason I made this website is, pretty much everyone has a name, and at some point, most ppl looks it up. And I want to be the website with definitive information on it which is reliable.I recently came up with a new feature (as suggested by the title of this post and idea came from FiveThirtyEight form a 2014 article, however I don’t think their tool exists anymore), w
Ask HN: Can anyone explain this Gsearch rabbit-hole?
Okay this is very weird and even weirder to post to HN, but I don't know where else to share it (and I don't use most 'social media') and I'm really quite intrigued with what I've found, and would like the help of the community to determine how what I found is even possible.I'll try to keep the description brief - as you'll be able to test this yourself and determine your own theories for the cause of this.So I'm browsing YouTube and come across one o
Show HN: SearchCue
Hi!We are just launching a new site-search product. The TL;DR is: we crawl your site (pages, documents, images) and you can add our search to your site by adding a JavaScript embed.We built this on a shared search stack that we have also used on another search product of ours (namely Monocle Search [1] which is aimed at Squarespace sites first and foremost), so the search is fairly solid and battletested.We aren't yet 100% sold on the positioning of this product. I'd love feedback and

A/B Test results: Trying different homepage heroes got us 2.6x sign-ups
Last year, we rebranded forms.app, a form builder app. With the rebranding, we had an experimental hero section that we quite liked. It was an AI generator; people write what type of form they like, and even before they sign in, they get it.I'd have liked to include all images here, but you can check them out here: https://salimdin.substack.com/p/how-an-ab-test-more-than-doubled-our-signups-on-formsappAfter a few months, we realized something was off. We thought it was a
Show HN: Clay Seal Identity – Agents need accountability
AI agents are starting to get real access like GitHub tokens, cloud credentials, customer data, deploy permissions. Not coincidentally, the rate of major cybersecurity incidents is rising rapidly. See for yourself: https://epoch.ai/data/cve?view=graph https://genai.owasp.org/resource/state-of-agentic-ai-securit... My friend and I, both AI researchers, are working on fixing this through an open-source project we've just started called Clay Seal.We'
A 200-year-old physics experiment could help build future computers
Scientists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have discovered a surprisingly simple way to create exotic light structures called optical skyrmions using a 200-year-old optical effect known as the Poisson spot. Instead of relying on expensive, highly engineered materials, they simply shine a laser at a tiny circular disc, producing stable swirling patterns in light that researchers believe could one day help power advanced data storage, communications, and computing technologies.
