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

Scientists discover massive natural hydrogen source beneath Canada
Scientists in Canada have discovered that ancient underground rocks are naturally producing hydrogen gas — and lots of it. Measurements from mine boreholes in Ontario show the gas can flow continuously for years, offering a potential new source of clean energy called “white hydrogen.” Researchers say this hidden resource could help power industries and remote communities while cutting carbon emissions and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Scientists use light to create tiny molecules that could transform medicine
Researchers have developed a light-driven method for creating tiny, high-energy “housane” molecules that are valuable for drug development and materials science. These compact ring-shaped structures are difficult to produce because of the intense internal strain they contain. By using photocatalysis and carefully tuning the starting molecules, the team managed to guide the reaction into a clean and efficient pathway.
Scientists found a giant magnetic “twist” hidden inside the Milky Way
Astronomers have uncovered a strange magnetic “flip” hidden inside the Milky Way. Using a new radio telescope, researchers mapped the galaxy’s magnetic field in unprecedented detail and discovered that a mysterious reversal in the Sagittarius Arm cuts diagonally across space. The finding could reshape how scientists understand the structure and future evolution of our galaxy.

Scientists Achieved Teleportation Using Quantum Supercomputers - Here's How
Quantum teleportation has officially been achieved by scientists, which is exciting news, but probably not for the reasons you'd think. It does not involve the teleportation of objects or people a la ...
Show HN: Guitar Guru – A guitar valuation app using ML
Guitar Guru is an iOS app that uses machine learning to value guitars and basses. I built this because existing methods for getting valuations all have downsides:
Reverb prices are typically on the high side - they have every interest in maintaining high prices
Blue book prices are subscription-based and the data is quite old
Forums are slow and are simply multiple subjective opinions
Expert valuations are slow and the incentives to bias high or low are a problem
None of these methods dispassion
Show HN: AgentShield – Stop AI agents from spending money unsupervised
I'm a recent grad from UMich and built AgentShield because agentic AI is moving fast but payment safety hasn't caught up. Agents are already being handed API keys, stablecoin wallets, and payment credentials - if one misbehaves, gets prompt injected, or makes a bad call, nothing understands the agent's intent well enough to stop it.Every spend request runs through four checks before money is allowed to move:1. Quantitative (Redis) - Is the agent within its daily budget? Is it send
70% of the Rock Under Our Feet Can Produce Hydrogen. Tapping It Could Power Your Town.
Enough hydrogen is leaking from a single mine to power hundreds of homes. Researchers say it’s far from unique. Hydrogen gas produced by geological processes beneath Earth’s surface has been touted as a promising clean energy source. A new study provides the first solid evidence that it could be a practical and commercially viable option for decarbonizing the grid.Hydrogen is an energy-dense fuel that produces only water when burned. But today, the vast majority of industrial hydroge
Laser processes to enable robust, miniaturized beam sources for quantum technology
In the HiPEQ project, a consortium of industry and research partners has developed new laser-based approaches to enable miniaturized, robust beam sources for quantum technology. Among others, the consortium also used lasers to grow novel optical insulator crystals. The project achieved significant progress from November 2021 to July 2025. Fraunhofer ILT in Aachen played a key role by co-developing the laser processes needed.
New chip offers way to make use of quantum system 'imperfections'
Quantum technologies promise powerful new kinds of computers, giving scientists new tools to mimic and explore nature at its tiniest scales. At those levels, everything in nature—from atoms and electrons to light itself—follows the strange rules of quantum mechanics. But the real world is never perfectly clean: Signals fade, energy leaks away and systems pick up noise from their surroundings.
Quantum-centric supercomputing simulates 12,635-atom protein
The scale of chemistry simulations with quantum computing has increased dramatically in just the last few months. In the latest milestone for the field, researchers from Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN, and IBM used a quantum-centric supercomputing (QCSC) framework to calculate the electronic structure of a pair of large protein-ligand complexes, reaching a scale of 12,635 atoms in the largest simulation.
