If you drive outside the city of Campton, population less than 400, the low industrial noise of crypto mining rises from the trees. Step closer, and the source comes into view: squat metal buildings that look like shipping containers arrayed in a semicircle, thrumming with fans and processors. There’s chain-link fencing, security cameras, and two guards sitting in pickup trucks just beyond the wire. There are steel shipping containers like this all over these hills, right where the old coal min

The U.S. Department of the Interior said Tuesday that it’s beginning the process of selling deep-sea mining leases after a request from startup Impossible Metals. The agency said the process would “evaluate a potential mineral lease sale in the waters offshore American Samoa.” The administrative procedure requires a publication in the federal register and the solicitation of public feedback before considering any sales.

—Niall Firth, executive editor, MIT Technology Review In 2019, Karen Hao, a senior reporter with MIT Technology Review, pitched me a story about a then little-known company, OpenAI. It was her biggest assignment to date. Hao’s feat of reporting took a series of twists and turns over the coming months, eventually revealing how OpenAI’s ambition had taken it far afield from its original mission. The finished story was a prescient look at a company at a tipping point—or already past it. And Ope

[Note that this article is a transcript of the video embedded above.] In December of 2024, a huge sinkhole opened up on I-80 near Wharton, New Jersey, creating massive traffic delays as crews worked to figure out what happened and get it fixed. Since then, it happened again in February 2025 and then again in March. Each time, the highway had to be shut down, creating a nightmare for commuters who had to find alternate routes.

Editor's take: The cryptocurrency market as a whole is far from obsolete; however, it has become more expensive. The era of easy profits from Bitcoin mining appears to have ended, replaced by a fiercely competitive industry where only the most efficient and resourceful players are likely to survive. Bitcoin mining, once viewed as a digital gold rush, is facing a harsh new reality in 2025: for many, the cost of producing a single Bitcoin now outweighs its market value by a considerable margin. T

After a dip that coincided with when the stock market crashed (remember when Bitcoin was supposed to be a hedge against market volatility?), the cryptocurrency is pushing back up toward its all-time high. Despite that, it seems that mining for the cryptocurrency is no longer worth it, even for some larger mining operations. According to data recently published by CoinShares, the cost of electricity and computational power needed to mine for Bitcoin now often exceeds the actual value of the coin.

Picture an ocean world so deep and dark it feels like another planet – where creatures glow and life survives under crushing pressure. This is the midwater zone, a hidden ecosystem that begins 650 feet (200 meters) below the ocean surface and sustains life across our planet. It includes the twilight zone and the midnight zone, where strange and delicate animals thrive in the near absence of sunlight. Whales and commercially valuable fish such as tuna rely on animals in this zone for food. But t
