SpaceX's String of Starship Failures Continues With Massive Rocket Explosion

SpaceX's ongoing mission to prepare Starship spacecraft for trips to the moon and, eventually, Mars suffered a setback when a spacecraft exploded this week in South Texas. The explosion happened during what SpaceX called routine testing in preparation for Starship's 10th flight since 2023, which was expected to happen later this month. SpaceX uses a different rocket design to launch its Starlink internet satellites. On X, the space company wrote, "On Wednesday, June 18 at approximately 11 p.m

MIT student prints AI polymer masks to restore paintings in hours

MIT graduate student Alex Kachkine once spent nine months meticulously restoring a damaged baroque Italian painting, which left him plenty of time to wonder if technology could speed things up. Last week, MIT News announced his solution: a technique that uses AI-generated polymer films to physically restore damaged paintings in hours rather than months. The research appears in Nature. Kachkine's method works by printing a transparent "mask" containing thousands of precisely color-matched region

Astronomers capture ultra-detailed image of nearby Sculptor galaxy

I replaced my iPad with a $100 Android tablet, and here's my verdict after two weeks

ZDNET's key takeaways The Celero5G Tab is available for as low as $100 for existing customers, with a data line costing $20 a month. This is a simple, no-frills Android tablet that you can take anywhere with you for light work and entertainment, whether there's Wi-Fi or not. The Celero5G Tab is network-exclusive with Boost Mobile, and it has very limited memory and capacity, so I wouldn't recommend it for demanding work sessions.

Mierle Laderman Ukeles, a '70s artist who became a hero to 'garbage men'

The New York City Sanitation Department in the late 1970s was not an obvious place to find a warm welcome for feminist conceptual art. But the newly appointed sanitation commissioner, Norman Steisel, had arrived as an outlier in the world of municipal waste. Before he began his career in city government, first working in budget offices, he had been a graduate student in chemical engineering and applied mathematics at Yale, where he fell in with a crowd of M.F.A. students. He understood the avant

‘Major Anomaly’ Behind Latest SpaceX Starship Explosion

Musk wrote that the nitrogen COPV appears to have failed below its proof pressure, within conditions that should not have damaged the tank. "If further investigation confirms that this is what happened, it is the first time ever for this design," Musk added. Picking Up the Pieces Earlier Wednesday, just hours before the late-night explosion at Starbase, an advisory released by the Federal Aviation Administration showed SpaceX had set June 29 as a tentative launch date for the next Starship tes

Planting flags in AI coding territory

Answering this often triggers more questions that shouldn't surprise anyone. Do you have some workable requirements? Have you created meaningful tests aligned with those? Can you understand and fix your code when those tests fail? Are you seeing opportunities to delete code in a way that enhances its value by reducing its liability? In all of these questions, code is ingrained with purpose, hampered by ambiguity, and therefore very much human, even when it lies forgotten in some machine wher

Cursed New Dating App Matches You Based on the Most Deranged Thing We Can Imagine

A newly-developed dating app matches potential lovers based on their entire internet browsing histories — and we're not quite sure how we feel about it. As Wired reports, the new service is straightforwardly-named "Browser Dating," and is the brainchild of Belgian artiste provocateur Dries Depoorter. After years creating one-off projects like "Shirt," a top that increases one euro each time it's purchased, Depoorter took a different route with his new app that invites lonely users to upload th

Meta and Oakley announce new 'perfomance AI' smart glasses for athletes

Meta is expanding beyond its popular Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses with a new lineup of frames created in collaboration with Oakley. The Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced HOW-stuhn, apparently) will be available in several variants, not unlike Meta's other smart glasses. Meta first teased that it had a new partnership on the way earlier in June, and rumors that the company was expanding beyond its current frames were reported by Bloomberg back in January. Despite rumors that the Oakley glasses would fe

Storage Prices Are Going Nuts, Grab a New Samsung MicroSD Card With Adapter for Early Prime Day

Storage prices, to put it politely, have been all over the place lately. You could get motion sickness watching them rise and fall and rise again, and there’s of course the ever-present threat of tariffs that would suddenly balloon the prices of storage and many other tech goods. So when the roller-coaster of storage pricing rolls downward, it’s smart to grab some while you can. Now’s a good time, if Amazon’s 36% off deal on the Samsung EVO Select MicroSD memory card and adapter is any indicatio

Best Internet Providers in Rochester, New York

What is the best internet provider in Rochester? CNET's experts recommend Spectrum as the best internet provider in Rochester for most households. Spectrum has a lot to offer, including extensive coverage in the area, affordable starting prices and lightning-fast speeds. However, you can expect a significant price hike after the first two years. Spectrum maxes out at a respectable 1,000Mbps, but if you're looking for multi-gig speeds, Greenlight is worth checking out. Greenlight's speeds go up

How AI Is Helping Students Find the Right College

After Julia Dixon graduated from the University of Michigan in 2014, her family and friends asked for her help with the college application process. Dixon was happy to share her recently earned expertise about the world of higher education but soon realized how many parents and students in her community needed help and how hard it was for them to access that support. The ratio of college counselors to students in the US, according to the American School Counselor Association, is one for every 3

3 Best Thermal Brush, Tested and Reviewed by WIRED (2025)

You've seen thermal brushes before, maybe touted as a blow-out brush or an infrared brush. The best thermal brush for you will recreate a blow-out type of look on your dry hair—different than a blow-dry brush, which is designed for wet hair but has a similar look. It reminds me of how I would use a curler in my youth to straighten while adding a little body to the roots and a little curl to the ends. If that's your preferred hairstyle too, then these are the devices for you. Thermal brushes use

Ahead of Google Assistant’s death, Gemini finally inherits this much-loved feature

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini has finally received another long-awaited Google Assistant feature. The chatbot can now identify songs playing nearby using the Google app’s Song Search feature. Previously, Gemini would recommend using third-party music recognition apps when asked to identify a song. Gemini lacked several Google Assistant features at launch, but steady updates from Google have brought it closer to being a comprehensive replacement for the legacy voice assistant.
