Horrifying Research Finds Melting Glaciers Could Activate Deadly Volcanoes

Only on Nantucket: The Curious Case of the "Stolen" Mercedes

Good questions. And as Monday came and went without any sign of the missing Mercedes, the mystery deepened, and more theories continued to pour in: had it been hotwired and moved to a chop shop? Was it used for a joy ride and ditched in some remote corner of the island? The family asked the Current to share a photo of the vehicle, and the fact that it had been reported stolen. The post set off a deluge of messages along the lines of: "Who steals a car on Nantucket? Where are they going to go?"

The fish kick may be the fastest subsurface swim stroke yet (2015)

I tug my black swim cap over my hair, strap on my pink goggles, and keep a focused calm, like Michael Phelps before a race. It’s lap swim on a Monday afternoon at my local YMCA, and I’m going to attempt the fish kick. Most fish move through the water with a horizontal wiggle. The fish kick challenges you to copy this movement: You completely submerge yourself underwater, position yourself on your side, keep your arms tight above your head in a streamline, and propel yourself forward with symmetr

The U.S. Is Testing Tiny Nuclear Reactors That Can Go Practically Anywhere

In contrast to other technological advances, the objective for next-generation nuclear reactors seems to be to scale down, not up—an initiative backed by the Department of Energy (DOE). Earlier this month, the DOE announced a conditional agreement made with private firms Westinghouse and Radiant to conduct the first reactor tests at its Demonstration on Microreactor Experiment (DOME) facility, located at Idaho National Laboratory. These experiments, featuring two trailer-sized microreactors, w

8 Foods With Microplastics Hidden in Them and How to Limit Your Consumption

It's official: Microplastics are in more than just fish. They seem to be in everything now, even mundane things like chewing gum. UCLA researchers found that microplastics are released directly into our mouths each time we chew a piece. In addition to that, a new study published in Chemistry for Life tested 10 chewing gum brands and found every single one contained microplastics. With something as common as chewing gum becoming a delivery system for microplastics, many people are concerned abou

Sequoia bets on silence

There is a time-honored crisis management strategy, wherein one says nothing and waits for the outrage to pass. For Sequoia Capital, the strategy worked pretty well this week. While partner Shaun Maguire initially weathered criticism over an inflammatory social media post, that initial indignation cooled quickly. Now, some seem to think that Maguire’s defiant stance may even be strengthening his position. Business Insider actually called it “good for deal flow” — controversy as competitive advan

Hot Tick Summer Is Here. Here’s What You Need to Know and How to Stay Safe

Summer in the U.S. is now in full swing. That means plenty of outdoor fun, Sun, and, unfortunately, for many of us, tiny eight-legged ticks to avoid. Ticks and the many illnesses they carry, like Lyme disease, are a growing public health threat. Just this week, for instance, the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that 2025 so far has seen the highest number of tick-related emergency room visits recorded since 2019. And though the worst tick species are especi

Worse Than a Recession? Trump's Tariffs Risk 'Self-Inflicted' Stagflation

An economic downturn combined with high inflation is a double-whammy for your finances. DNY59/Getty Images/Jeffrey Hazelwood/CNET President Donald Trump's turbulent tariff agenda, combined with mass deportations and increased national debt, has created heightened volatility in financial markets. Though many economists say there's low risk of a job-loss recession, others say we're at a critical crossroads, as consumer sentiment sours and the labor market sputters. Some analysts have even posite

Best Internet Providers in Indianapolis, Indiana

What is the best internet provider in Indianapolis? CNET recommends AT&T Fiber as the best choice for internet in Indianapolis due to its fast speeds and overall availability.

How passkeys work: Going passwordless with public key cryptography

Vitalii Gulenok/Getty Images For the last five years, the FIDO Alliance -- led by Apple, Microsoft, and Google (with other companies in tow) -- has been blazing a trail toward a future where passwords are no longer necessary in order to login to our favorite websites and apps. This so-called passwordless future is based on a new form of login credential known as the passkey, which itself is largely based on another technology -- public key cryptography -- that's been around for decades.

Scientists Are Sneaking Passages Into Research Papers Designed to Trick AI Reviewers

Lead pigment in turmeric is the culprit in a global poisoning mystery (2024)

You'll never guess the culprit in a global lead poisoning mystery toggle caption Jenna Forsyth "It's the crime of the century," says Bruce Lanphear . He's not talking about a murder spree, a kidnapping or a bank heist. Lanphear – an environmental epidemiologist at Simon Fraser University – is referring to the fact that an estimated 800 million children around the world are poisoned by lead – lead in their family's pots and pan, lead in their food, lead in the air. That's just about half of a

The Spell Is Still Working: Lee Pace Has Joined ‘Practical Magic 2’

Practical Magic 2 is already sky-high on our list of most-anticipated 2026 releases. The 1998 original follows the romantic misadventures of the witchy Owens sisters, played by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman—and has since become a Halloween-adjacent cult classic.

First things first: bringing back Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest—th

Price of Switch 2 Might Increase Soon Because of Tariffs

It's been more than a month since Switch 2 came out. As Nintendo's most expensive console, at $450, it has yet to see a price jump because of President Donald Trump's new tariffs, but that can still change. Trump first announced his plans for tariffs on April 2, the same day that the Switch 2 was revealed. The tariffs targeted two countries important to Nintendo: Japan, where the company is based, and Vietnam, where some of its products are manufactured. He did declare soon after the announceme

New Windows 11 build adds self-healing “quick machine recovery” feature

Microsoft is adding a new recovery mode to Windows to help revive crashing PCs. Called quick machine recovery (QMR), this technology enables Windows 11 PCs to boot into the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE, also used by Windows install media and IT shops for various recovery and diagnostic purposes), connect to the Internet, and download Microsoft-provided fixes for "widespread boot issues" that could be keeping the PC from booting properly. Initially announced in late 2024 as part of the "W
