Scientists decipher new secrets from ancient scrolls scorched by Vesuvius eruption: "Finally able to read them" An unrolled Herculaneum scroll. National Library of Naples A University of Kentucky project using artificial intelligence to help decode an ancient Roman mystery has led to a major discovery, researchers announced Thursday. In 79 A.D., the eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried the Roman city of Pompeii and the nearby town of Herculaneum. During a dig in Herculaneum in the 18th century, archaeologists found 1,800 papyrus scrolls in an intact ancient library, deep under the site of a villa that was destroyed by Vesuvius' eruption. But reading them was impossible: The scrolls are brittle and charred, and unravelling them turns them into ash. For...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Only in America: The rise of Viet-Cajun cuisine CBS News For 250 years, the key ingredient in American culture has been immigration, and nowhere is that more obvious than in the kitchen, which is where you'll find Trong Nguyen most days. Nguyen came from Vietnam as a teenager in the 1980s, and discovered something interesting: The flavors that he grew up with paired perfectly with, of all things, Cajun food. It's called "Viet-Cajun" cuisine, and it's something that could only happen in America: The clean, bright flavors of Vietnamese food, combined with the earthy, smoky spice of Cajun cuisine.

Minutes into the second half, Canada were clearly aware of this issue; they applied pressure whenever they could, a little going a long way as South Africa's attempts to regain possession only lasted for a few short seconds.

AI could make people dull, one scientist fears. Here's why. Artificial intelligence could one day supercharge human cognition, leading to significant advances in science, technology and other fields. It could also make us dull, new academic research suggests. That's because the so-called large language models that power AI apps often yield information that is predictable and normative for the population as a whole, reducing life's complexity to a bland mulch of watered-down ideas. "LLMs predict the most likely next word in a sentence or event in a sequence, and by definition, that's average," Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz, author of the study, told CBS News.

"President Trump's Working Families Tax Cut is simultaneously delivering short-term economic relief while laying the groundwork for long-term economic growth," White House spokesman Kush Patel said in an email to CBS News about the law, which was signed by Mr. Trump on July 4,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Electric bills are rising as the July 4 heat wave arrives. Here's how to save. As much of the U.S. swelters through near-record temperatures over the July 4 weekend, households can expect another unpleasant surprise: higher electric bills. Cooling costs are projected to rise 10.5% this summer from a year ago, according to the National Energy Assistance Directors Association. Many Americans face a tough choice between cranking up the air conditioning and keeping their utility bills in check. The cost of electricity has been rising faster than overall inflation over the past few years, according to NEADA. Data center energy consumption, higher national gas prices and necessary repairs to the electric grid are pushing up electricity costs.

In posts that sometimes included photos and videos of their attacks on unconscious victims, they referred to women as "cars," sedatives as "fuel" and rape as "driving," according to court documents. They called their victims "dead pigs." Investigators have been poring through several years' worth of posts in roughly two dozen group chats on the popular messaging app that authorities believe served an online predator network of mainly Chinese men targeting mostly Chinese women in Germany.

Why do airlines make passengers check their carry-on at the gate? Catching a flight with just a carry-on can make travel feel easy. No need to check a bag and all your belongings stay with you. But quite often, that suddenly changes before boarding. Why do airlines make passengers gate-check their carry-on luggage? Turns out, it comes down to the size of the plane. "This happens a lot, especially on shorter flights that are flying regional aircraft," said Gunnar Olson, travel expert and host of the Thrifty Traveler Podcast. "Usually, they're going to make you gate check your carry-on when the plane is just too small to handle the amount of carry-on bags that are onboard."

Jet fuel prices have dropped. Why are plane tickets still so expensive? Jet fuel prices are finally easing after soaring during the Iran war. But airline passengers shouldn't expect cheaper tickets anytime soon, as strong travel demand and the recent collapse of Spirit Airlines keep fares elevated, according to air travel experts. Lower fuel costs would normally ease pressure on airfare prices. Yet analysts say airlines have little incentive to cut fares while demand remains strong and industry capacity has shrunk following Spirit Airlines' shutdown. Air fares are also remaining elevated due to what economists call the "rockets and feathers" effect: Prices shoot up quickly when costs rise, but tend to drift down more slowly when those costs...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

UFC 329 fight card predictions: Expert picks, odds for Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway in Las Vegas Conor McGregor's return is just one day away.

The co-main event has the potential to be the most exciting fight on the card when Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint Denis meet in a huge lightweight bout.

Astronomers discover sugar in space that's also found in raspberries: "Just floating out in the galaxy" The space between stars just got a little sweeter. Astronomers have detected a type of sugar in space that's also found in raspberries and self-tanners. The sugar, called erythrulose, lurks in what's called the interstellar medium: thin clouds of gas and dust littered between stars. Sugar does more than sweeten tea and powder doughnuts. Different varieties fuel our cells and even make up DNA. Scientists are itching to know how sugars form because they're a key ingredient for life as we know it. Using two dish-shaped radio telescopes in Spain, researchers collected data from a large gas cloud near the center of the Milky Way. They identified the sugar in gas form by comparing telescope signals to samples in the lab. It's the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

President Trump has been trying to force Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz for months, turning to everything from airstrikes and naval blockades to negotiations and threats to destroy a "whole civilization." But restoring oil tanker traffic in the vital Middle East shipping corridor to prewar flows likely will require a much bigger armada of U.S. warships if not tens of thousands of American troops on Iranian soil, experts say.

Appeals for prominent Indian activist to end hunger strike as he risks health to demand education reforms Calls are growing for an Indian education activist to end his 20-day hunger strike over fears for his safety.

Journalist targeted by Iran reacts to U.K.'s crackdown on IRGC: "The happiest day of my life since I was stabbed" British-Iranian journalist Pouria Zeraati. Pouria Zeraati When British Iranian journalist Pouria Zeraati first heard of the U.K.'s formal plans to ban support of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps early this week, it gave him a sense of relief he had not felt in years. It was "the happiest day of my life since I was stabbed," he said. Zeraati's primary concern had never been the jail time handed to the Romanian nationals who were convicted for their role in the attack on him in 2024. To him, they were simply paid mercenaries.

Student loan defaults hit record highs in wake of COVID-tied payments pause expiration Defaults on student loans have surged across the United States, reaching record levels as borrowers struggle to keep up with payments. The numbers have spiked since payments came due again following a lengthy pause intended to provide relief during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, around 9.5 million people - 1 in 5 federal student loan borrowers - are in default, meaning they are more than nine months behind on their payments. While credit scores can suffer when borrowers are just a few months behind, entering default brings the possibility of more serious consequences, including garnished wages or Social Security payments.

Trump to impose 50% tariffs on Canadian hockey sticks, milk, alcohol and other goods President Trump is imposing 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods, from hockey equipment to alcoholic beverages, escalating the trade dispute between the two countries. The new tariffs — laid out in a series of proclamations signed by Mr. Trump on Monday — are set to take effect on Aug. 19. The White House accused Canada of "unreasonable, unequal, and discriminatory actions" by imposing tariffs or import restrictions on certain American goods, some of which began after Mr. Trump's initial round of tariffs on Canada last year.

Getty Images As the NBA world continues to wait for LeBron James to sign, the Miami Heat are believed to be among a core group of teams in realistic contention. There are likely a couple of reasons for that. One, Miami is a championship contender with LeBron. The Heat just traded for Giannis Antetokounmpo. They have one of the best defenders in the league and another All-Star in Bam Adebayo. Shooting is in short supply, but if you have LeBron, Giannis, Bam and Erik Spoelstra, you have a chance.

How 401(k) fees can cost tens of thousands in retirement savings More than half of U.S. workers rely on 401(k) plans to save for retirement, but many may not be aware of fees that can fly under the radar and end up costing them tens of thousands — or more — in retirement income. While these fees may appear small at first glance, they can add up: As the Department of Labor explains, a 1% difference in fees could significantly reduce a person's ultimate account balance at retirement. In the Labor Department's example, a person with $25,000 in 401(k) savings who has 35 years until retirement and is charged 1.5% in fees could end up with $163,000 in retirement savings versus $227,000 if they were charged 0.5%, a 28% difference.
