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
Ramped fields create more robust entanglement between trapped-ion qubits
While quantum computing could be the future, it is currently plagued by finicky hardware. To make the technology practical, ...
I estimate reading code costs 2.1x more than writing it
I hate reading agent-generated code and it's not a good use of my time, and I wanted a staistic to quantify by how much.My current estimate is $0.243 for a human to review one changed line and $0.114 in model spend for an agent to produce one be...
Ramped fields create more robust entanglement between trapped-ion qubits
While quantum computing could be the future, it is currently plagued by finicky hardware. To make the technology practical, researchers must demonstrate that it consistently and continuously works and performs at scale. In a new study, published in P...
Show HN: Tabu, NSFW image and video API for explicit content moderation
Hi all,I am Jozef and in last wees I was building Tabu on my own. Now I am seeking advice on how to scale it further and also how it works. I would like to join Ycombinator, but firstly want to iterate it and get some more feedback. Is I have no engi...
Show HN: I built a tool showing how AI providers (should) throttle their models
OP here: this project was born out of the frustration/paranoia that AI providers are throttling their models when their server load is too high. So, I set out to model and study the problem mathematically to understand what was happening, what...
Show HN: A batch settlement layer for tokenized NYSE stocks
The original intention was just to introduce a time dimension to solve the blockchain trilemma. Now it has turned into 312 Rust crates and 2.8 million lines of Rust code (about 2 million lines in production, about 400,000 lines in standalone test dir...
In Hilbert Space, All Things Are Quantumly Possible
At the heart of quantum mechanics lie a few sacred rules for how to use the theory. First and foremost is, roughly, that thou shalt not think about ordinary objects presently whizzing through ordinary space. Rather, quantum mechanics predicts —...
How high scores in an online brain teaser made mathematicians lie for three years
It might not yet be the phenomenon that is Wordle, but for hundreds of thousands of players, Digit Party has scratched the itch of a casual brain teaser to break up their day.
One molecule, one photon: Entanglement makes an imperceptible recoil measurable
For decades, light has been used to understand the molecular structures of matter. A sample is irradiated with light, and measurements determine the wavelengths at which it is absorbed. Since each molecule absorbs light at very specific wavelengths t...
NSF Invests $290 Million In Eight University-Led Quantum Leap Institutes
NSF will invest more than $290 million to fund eight university-based research institutes in its Quantum Leap Challenge ...
Quantum computers could give scientists a new way to explore the hidden behaviour of matter
Scientists could have a new way to explore the hidden behaviour of matter, thanks to research involving Queen Mary University of London that uses a quantum computer to carry out a new form of ...
First 50-qubit neutral-atom quantum computer goes live in Japan with US-made QPU
Japan’s first operational full-stack neutral-atom quantum computer, which packs approximately 50 qubits at launch ...
New quantum computing method broadens spectroscopy of hard-to-model matter
Scientists could have a new way to explore the hidden behavior of matter, thanks to research involving Queen Mary University of London that uses a quantum computer to carry out a new form of computational spectroscopy.
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope is ready to hunt thousands of alien worlds
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope is now enclosed inside its Falcon Heavy fairing and nearly ready for launch. Its mission could uncover thousands of exoplanets while helping scientists investigate dark matter, dark energy, and the accelerating expansion...
One asteroid strike may explain two mysteries of Mars’ moon Deimos
A single asteroid impact may explain two of Deimos’s most puzzling features: its huge southern depression and unusually smooth, dusty surface. Simulations suggest a roughly 320-meter asteroid struck the Martian moon at an angle, throwing debris aroun...
AI helps design new materials that work in the real world
Today, anyone with a large enough artificial intelligence model can generate millions of new material designs in minutes. Unfortunately, that hasn’t led to a huge leap in the number of new materials being used to improve the performance of products l...
'It's very counterintuitive': The quantum batteries that upend the rules of charging
The world's first quantum battery prototype is here and it has some bizarre properties. Could these devices one day power quantum computing – or even your phone?
Quantum voting system aims to keep ballots secret
Although this scheme is watertight in principle, there is still no guarantee that the e-voting system itself can be fully ...
