The West Eifel Volcanic Field comprises more than 100 maars—circular lakes formed by explosive eruptions. Until now, little was known about when these volcanic eruptions occurred. A research team from Heidelberg University, Curtin University in Perth, Australia, and the University of Göttingen has now reliably dated the most recent eruptions of the maar volcanoes.

Solving the "problems" currently plaguing Doctor Who will take time, the series' former showrunner Chris Chibnall has cautioned, explaining that the show's most pressing issue now is "primarily about money."

For the first time in history, the Top Five is made up of all country songs, including those by Taylor Swift, Ella Langley, and Stella Lefty

There’s no denying it: This has been the summer of country music. Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” has become the song of the summer and broken numerous records, including beating Whitney Houston and Harry Styles on the charts. And now, it’s the genre itself that is dominating the Billboard Hot 100. For the first time in history, country songs claim all Top Five spots, thanks to singles from Langley, Morgan Wallen, Taylor Swift, Stella Lefty, and a Wallen-Langley duet. It’s a never-before-seen feat that even the Nineties heyday of Garth Brooks and Shania Twain couldn’t accomplish.

Hackers are in the midst of a massive theft of cryptocurrency from supposedly secure offline hardware wallets, according to blockchain security firms monitoring the heists.

At least a dozen different hackers are said to be targeting Bitcoin owners who use the hardware crypto wallet Coldcard, made by Coinkite. At this point, it’s unclear who is behind the digital robberies, and it appears like there’s more than one group of hackers, according to Galaxy Research. 

If you meet some prerequisites

I haven't the foggiest idea whether Cinder City will be any good or not. Visually, if you showed it to me without a logo or any form of identifying information, I'm not even sure I could distinguish it from any other sci-fi shooter. But the shooting looks PS3 as hell, with slightly awkward movements made moreso by the realistic look, and a futuristic HUD that seems like it's meant to be diegetic. How it actually feels is another question, but one that some of us can soon answer, as sign ups for a playtest are now open.

Using a combination of laser cooling techniques and strong magnetic fields, researchers at Colorado State University have for the first time created an ultracold neutral plasma with electrons cooled to temperatures measured to be within one degree Kelvin.
