New Theory Could Dramatically Expand the Search for Aliens

The search for alien life is largely centered on finding planets in the “Goldilocks Zone”—the distance from a star where a planet could have liquid water on its surface and enough light to sustain life. But a new study offers a tantalizing possibility that other worlds, far from their host stars, may also be able to support living things, a finding that could dramatically broaden the search for extraterrestrial life. In a paper published last week in the International Journal of Astrobiology, r

The best tablets of 2025: Lab-tested recommendations

Mozilla Firefox's extension store being flooded with malware

Mozilla is warning of an ongoing phishing campaign targeting developers of Firefox add-ons. The browser maker urged devs to "exercise extreme caution and scrutiny" when reviewing seemingly legitimate emails from senders pretending to be Mozilla or AMO (addons.mozilla.org). Although phishing emails can take many forms, Moz said this campaign usually lures devs into clicking through a malicious link to update their account. Failure to do so, or so the crims claim, would result in the dev losing

Scientists shine a laser through a human head

For the most part, anyone who wants to see what’s going on inside someone else’s brain has to make a tradeoff when it comes to which tools to use. The electroencephalograph (EEG) is cheap and portable, but can’t read much past the outer layers of the brain, while the alternative, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), is expensive and the size of a room, but can go deeper. Now, a research group in Glasgow has come up with a mechanism that could one day provide the depth of fMRI using equi

Galaxy S26 could get a hardware upgrade for much easier payments

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is apparently thinking about adding an additional NFC antenna to the top of the Galaxy S26 series.

The latest leak has revealed that Samsung could significantly improve NFC payments like Samsung Pay or Google Wallet.

These are my 5 favorite e-book reader apps, but one leaps out from the page

Andy Walker / Android Authority I rarely take just one book along when I travel. If there’s a paperback I’m particularly interested in, I’ll find space in my bag. But usually, my Android tablet, loaded with a mix of classics, cookbooks, and non-fiction, usually serves as my e-reader. While Android tablets (or even Android smartphones) aren’t created as dedicated e-readers, it’s now easier than ever to enjoy a book on your device. There are many excellent e-book reader apps available. What is

Bad news for anyone eagerly awaiting the iPad Fold

Mozilla warns of phishing attacks targeting add-on developers

Mozilla's add-on platform hosts over 60,000 browser extensions and more than 500,000 themes used by tens of millions of users worldwide. According to Mozilla's advisory, these phishing emails are impersonating the AMO team and claim that the targeted developer accounts require updates to maintain access to development features.
