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

New chip harnesses quantum computing's biggest weakness — and tries to turn it into a strength

Researchers have created a new chip that turns one of quantum computing's biggest frailties into a programmable feature. They say this first-of-its-kind experiment could carry implications for developing error-corrected, fault-tolerant quantum computers in the future.Unlike digital bits in a classical computer, which are represented as either "on" or "off," a quantum bit (qubit) has a much higher failure rate — roughly 1 in 1,000, compared with 1 in 1 billion for digi

Metal hydride molecule trapped with laser light opens path to ultracold hydrogen

Controlling and trapping molecules, units of a substance consisting of two or more chemically bound atoms, with laser light is significantly more challenging than trapping individual atoms. This is because molecules exhibit more complex vibrational and rotational dynamics that make them more difficult to cool and trap.

In a quest to build the most accurate quantum sensors in the world, scientists are constantly improving their performance, making them more precise, more stable and more reliable. But eventually, ...

Show HN: A GPU/VRAM filter for finding LLMs that will run on your hardware

I kept seeing people ask "Which model i can run on my gpu", "will model X fit on my GPU". Thats why I built a filter on whichllmmodel that lets you search models by what will actually fit on your hardware (8GB, 16GB, 24GB, etc.) at a given quantization level.

Show HN: LookAway, a Mac break reminder that knows when not to interrupt

Hello, I'm Kushagra and I am the indie developer behind LookAway (I've posted about it earlier but it has received quite a lot of updates since the last time so I am posting it again).LookAway is a native break reminder for macOS that doesn't interrupt. I built it because I work from home and I spend a lot of time in front of my screens. It's very easy for me to get lost in the flow and I can end up sitting for hours. Due to this, I started facing issues like eye strain and b

Show HN: eBook to audiobook narration with realistic AI voices

For a while I've wanted to try out the new AI voices for long-form narration, but everything I found required a subscription that didn't justify my limited usage. I came across the open Kokoro model [0] and the voices are very good -- good enough to listen to for hours without the fatigue I got from legacy, robotic TTS voices. The model is 82m parameters and designed to run fast, but I still struggled to get reasonable times from CPU inference on my 12-core laptop. I thought a cloud-ba

Show HN: Slick, a desktop client mod for Slack

As someone who came from Discord, I have always loved Vencord. It is a popular client mod that adds many quality-of-life features not found in the normal app, but no such thing existed for Slack in a way that did not feel full of jank.So I decided to make my own. Packed with features I have long needed (as well as a few requests from friends). It has been quite the delight to build and make silly workarounds for Slack, and I hope you find this interesting and/or useful if you choose to try

Show HN: Dodger – turns a feature idea into a PRD, wireframes, and user stories

Dodger is a product development engine. Tell it what you're building ("we're working on a new feature for SDRs to autonomously qualify inbound leads") and it begins working the way PM would, but in minutes instead of weeks. It pulls from your research, analytics, and roadmap, drafts a plan, generates wireframes and pushes them into figma, runs synthetic users through the flows to find friction, and hands back user stories with acceptance criteria.Live today: granola and linea

Show HN: (Spotlight/Raycast for Web Search not local) && (compare AI responses)

Hi My name is Daniel, indie dev for the last 25+ years, based outside Boston.You probably haven’t heard of me and I don’t have much to show on LinkedIn bc I’ve suffered from an extreme case of Fibromyalgia my whole life (aka daily migraines, severe cramping, searing nerve pain, panic attacks, anxiety, depression) But I digress.....When I wasn’t too busy having lots of pain, I built Über Ninja. Its a desktop app (Mac/Windows) that lets you prompt multiple AI models side-by-side without copy&

Show HN: iNaturalist Bingo

I teach field studies courses and made this tool to generate bingo cards based on the iNaturalist observations in the areas we visit. It pulls the most frequently observed species for a named placed or drawn boundary and generates PDF bingo cards that you can print and share with the group. The students love it, and I thought I would share with HN, since there are quite a few iNaturalist users here.I vibe-coded this, of course, and I'm curious how well you all think I controlled the "s

Title: Show HN: AssertGo – Fluent Assertion Library for Go

I like AssertJ-style fluent assertions. I tried to find a library that does that for Go, but couldn't. So I wrote my own some time ago, but I didn't quite like it. A few days ago I heard about Go 1.27 and the addition of generic methods, so I gave it another try.I like the way it came out this time. Most of the code was written with 1.26. Just now, after the 1.27 RC release, I changed the top-level methods to be generic - previously they were `any`.As for the AI: I used Claude Sonnet,

Scientists measure hidden quantum forces that could power a new generation of pharmaceutical drugs

It's one thing to design a pharmaceutical drug. It's another to know if and why it actually works; not on paper or in a computer model, but inside the chaotic world of living systems, where proteins twist into shape, atoms constantly pull and push each other apart, and molecular interactions are the difference between health and disease.

Companies Could Soon Staff ‘Stubbornly Local’ Jobs With Workers 4,000 Miles Away

Companies once moved whole factories overseas to reduce labor costs. Now, workers a world away can operate local excavators, forklifts, and even humanoid robots with an internet connection. Packaging potassium sulfate, a fertilizer vital to the planet’s food supply, is visually striking—not because of what you see, but because you don’t see much at all. In China’s Xinjiang region, home to the world’s largest deposit of the mineral, piling it up in warehouses creates dust clouds so severe that wo

Seven exotic quantum phases predicted in ultracold magnetic atoms, including topological superconductivity

Strongly interacting quantum particles are key to some of the most fascinating phenomena in modern physics—from magnetism and superconductivity to topological states. Yet the complexity of such systems makes many of their properties difficult to understand even today. A research team from Innsbruck and Turin has now proposed a new theoretical framework for generating and studying these exotic states of matter in ultracold magnetic atoms in a one-dimensional lattice.

What Is the Positive Grassmannian and Why Does It Show Up Everywhere?

What links certain mathematical models of traffic flow, shallow-water waves, and quantum particle scattering? The surprising answer lies in a corner of the algebraic combinatorics world that goes by the name of positive Grassmannian. In simple terms, the positive Grassmannian is a shape that classifies other shapes. Remarkably, pieces of the positive Grassmannian can be reassembled in forms that…Source

'This is the next jump in technology': World's first sub-1nm chip keeps Moore's Law alive a little longer

For the first time, scientists can develop computer chips with transistors smaller than 1 nanometer. The new "NanoStack" architecture that has made this possible could even one day lead to transistors as small as 0.1 nm, the scientists claimed. The new 0.7 nm transistors are significantly smaller than those that feature in standard 2 nm semiconductor chips used in supercomputers, AI systems and advanced graphics processing units (GPUs). While size designation doesn't

Show HN: Net worth tracker to replace your spreadsheet, E2E, no bank logins

I started tracking my net worth when I started working in 2019 and I used a spreadsheet for that. But, having accounts in multiple currencies and updating it every month got old. I wanted to look at the numbers on my phone in a queue, but ended up rebuilding formulas at my laptop every month. Also, I didn't want to hand my bank logins to a third-party aggregator to get there. So I built the tool I've always wanted: without bank connections, syncing the same dashboard on every device, a
