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

Ask HN: What are the things LLM models fail at?

Generally, whenever I do see frontier AI model's evaluation metrics on say Artificial Analysis. It gives out a benchmark on a set of questions (or tasks). But it never quite actually shows what tasks it fails at. I'm more curious on benchma...

Show HN: A typing test for articles you want to read on the internet

I frequently do typing tests for fun. I'm not very fast (~80-100 WPM on a good day), but I find it's an activity I enjoy, and I was frustrated because I kept procrastinating via it, rather than reading valuable articles mostly from here. So...

New AI Tool Could Help Scientists Make ‘Rare’ Cross-Disciplinary Leaps More Common

Using a system called BootLoops, scientists produced 36 papers in three months. Paired with experts, the tool could pollinate ideas across fields. Some major scientific advances involve taking a technique developed in one field and applying it to ano...
