The fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex is perhaps the most iconic dinosaur that ever lived. Ever since the discovery of the first T. rex fossil in Hell Creek, Montana, in 1902, this gigantic predator — with its terrifying teeth and strangely tiny arms — has fascinated people of all ages, and played a starring role in books and films, including the Jurassic Park movies, as well as taking pride of place in museums around the world.Yet, our picture of how this dinosaur looked and lived has changed markedly thanks to more than a century of scientific discoveries. Think you know everything there…

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, with over 3 billion users. But its ubiquity also makes it a target for attackers. In December, security researchers documented a new form of account hijacking called GhostPairing, which sees users tricked into linking an attacker’s browser to their WhatsApp device.Meanwhile, in November, Austrian researchers plugged billions of numbers into WhatsApp’s contact discovery tool to create “the most extensive exposure of phone numbers” ever—along with profile photos and more.WhatsApp is protected by end-to-end encryption, the gold standard of security that, when implemented properly, means only you and the…

Govee, which makes some of the more unique and interesting smart lighting products, has a new batch at CES 2026. That includes two ceiling lights (one of which simulates a skylight) and a floor lamp that supports trillions of colors.Govee describes the new Ceiling Light Ultra as “the industry’s first ceiling light designed as a true creative canvas.” It uses 616 individually controlled LEDs (the highest in its class, according to Govee) to provide that level of detail. Using the Govee app, you can design visuals for it “with up to eight distinct layers of motion, color and shapes.”Govee Ceiling…

Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake generated in cold, icy regions. First discovered in the northern hemisphere more than 20 years ago, these quakes occur when huge chunks of ice fall from glaciers into the sea.Until now, only a very few have been found in the Antarctic. In a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters, I present evidence for hundreds of these quakes in Antarctica between 2010 and 2023, mostly at the ocean end of the Thwaites Glacier — the so-called Doomsday Glacier that could send sea levels rising rapidly if it were to collapse.A recent discoveryA…

If you’ve been on the fence about trying the sort of “AR glasses” that, until recently, were called “personal cinemas,” then check this out. Xreal has turned up to CES 2026 with an updated version of its entry level Xreal One glasses, first launched at the end of 2024. The new model, dubbed the 1S (yes, with a numeral rather than the word) gets marginally better specs and $50 knocked from the asking price.If you’re unfamiliar, One is a wearable spatial display that connects over USB-C to any compatible device including smartphones, tablets, laptops and consoles. It has two teeny-tiny…

Think of protein bars as grab-and-go snacks, not meal replacements. They’re most helpful when whole foods aren’t available or when your schedule won’t allow for a proper meal. The most beneficial sources of protein come with fiber, healthy fats, and other nutrients. (That’s why registered dietitians recommend whole foods over ultra-processed alternatives.) So, while high-protein snacks may boast impressive counts on the label, they’re not always the healthiest option.After consulting the nutrition experts about key ingredients to look for (and what to avoid), we’ve rounded up the best protein bars that meet those standards. For more tips on protein, check…

Several retailers kick off the new year by rolling out sales right away, and many of those deals stick around. Almost every category out there sees massive drops, making it a great time to stock up on holiday essentials, plus grab the items that feel a little out of reach the rest of the year (TVs, laptops, tablets, premium headphones, etc). You can even grab games for less, both board and digital ones! If you’re looking for something action-packed, we just spotted Battlefield 6 by EA on sale at Amazon. The PS5 and Xbox Series X version are going for…

It was a year that saw roughly six million Americans hold hands in a continuous (more or less) line across the country to raise money for homelessness.

In London, a musical based on Gaston Leroux’s 1909 Gothic horror novel The Phantom of the Opera took its first steps on the path to becoming the longest-running musical in Broadway history. Meanwhile, Top Gun and Ferris Bueller battled for movie theater box office supremacy, while Madonna, Bon…

We’re just hours away from the start of CES 2026, and with that comes Intel’s launch event. The chip giant is expected to provide more details on its AI PC initiative and the new processors powering it: The Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs (aka Panther Lake) are made using an 18A process — that’s 18 angstroms, or just under 2nm — and designed for high-end laptops and gaming devices.For Intel, the stakes at CES are higher than ever. In the past 12 months, both NVIDIA and the US government acquired ownership stakes in the company, helping nearly double the stock…
