The Best Mushroom Coffee, WIRED Tested and Reviewed (2025)

Photograph: Pete Cottell Others Tested Four Sigmatic Organic Coffee for $17: Four Sigmatic was founded about a decade ago by Finnish-American bohos who had the prescience to market mushroom coffee to woo-woo Angelenos who are rich enough to disregard science. Its catalog is expansive and includes a whole constellation of mushroom-infused ingestibles, with bagged, preground coffee serving as the flagship product alongside instant latte mixes, smoothie add-ins, and “capsules.” Buying from Four S

Flush door handles are the car industry’s latest safety problem

Earlier this week, Ars spent some time driving the new Nissan Leaf. We have to wait until Friday to tell you how that car drives, but among the changes from the previous generation are door handles that retract flush with the bodywork, for the front doors at least. Car designers love them for not ruining the lines of the door with the necessities of real life, but is the benefit from drag reduction worth the safety risk? That question is in even sharper relief this morning. Bloomberg's Dana Hul

I'm a Lifelong Soccer Fan. How Hisense Is Powering My FIFA World Cup Excitement

I've lived in the United States my whole life, but my family is from Colombia. We visited relatives often when I was a kid, and those trips usually involved three things: soccer, soccer and more soccer. Most afternoons were spent kicking a ball around the finca, or a nearby parking lot, or even a dirt road. And every time a game came on, the entire town shut down for a couple hours as people crowded around whatever TV or radio they could find and enjoyed the broadcast. Soccer is more than a spo

Unemployment rising in remote-friendly occupations (2024)

The recent rise in unemployment is steeper in occupations where remote work is more widespread. A continued rise could shift bargaining power towards employers who want workers to return to the office. Last week Amazon announced that its workers would need to work in person five days a week starting in January. Since tech has been the sector most open to remote work, and Amazon is such a dominant tech company, Amazon’s announcement prompts the question: could remote work, after jumping during t

Microsoft Predicts These Jobs Are Safe From AI

Much ink has already been spilled about the threat of AI to various labor markets. As new forms of automation seep into industries, folks want to know which jobs are endangered and which are safe. Well, a new study published by Microsoft researchers purports to show which positions have the most AI “applicability,” and which do not. From the research, you might assume you could predict which careers have longevity and which may soon go the way of the Dodo—although the report itself denies that t

Apple steps in to save decade-long Cupertino transit project

Recently, Apple spent more than half a billion dollars to acquire two office campuses it had already been leasing. Now, it shelled out a few million more to avoid a potential traffic disaster in its own backyard. A long-planned overhaul of the Interstate 280 and Wolfe Road interchange, the junction between Apple Park and a massive upcoming housing development called The Rise, was on the brink of being canceled due to a funding shortfall. But Apple has stepped in with a $4 million contribution

Figuring out why a nap might help people see things in new ways

Dmitri Mendeleev famously saw the complete arrangement of the periodic table after falling asleep on his desk. He claimed in his dream he saw a table where all the elements fell into place, and he wrote it all down when he woke up. By having a eureka moment right after a nap, he joined a club full of rather talented people: Mary Shelley, Thomas Edison, and Salvador Dali. To figure out if there’s a grain of truth to all these anecdotes, a team of German scientists at the Hamburg University, led
