A breakthrough in lens technology could soon put powerful thermal cameras into everyday devices like smartphones and cars at a fraction of the current cost. According to TechXplore, scientists at Australia’s Flinders University have created a new type of infrared lens using extremely low-cost and widely available materials. These lenses could bring the expensive optics usually found only in specialist equipment to common consumer products. Thermal cameras work by detecting infrared light released as heat from objects. They are widely used in security systems, fire detection, industrial inspections, medical devices, and vehicle safety systems. Despite their usefulness, thermal cameras remain…

If you’ve ever paid off your Verizon phone and waited what felt like forever to unlock it, you’re not alone. What’s more, Verizon now appears to agree. Following backlash over a new 35-day waiting period for unlocking fully paid-off devices, the carrier has acknowledged in a statement to Android Authority that the process is frustrating and states that relief is coming soon. Under Verizon’s updated unlocking policy, postpaid customers who settle a device’s balance through common channels like the My Verizon app, online my account payment, or using a Verizon gift card may face a 35-day delay before their phone…

A review of the troubled Starliner mission in 2024 has classified the spacecraft’s first-ever crewed flight as a “Type A mishap,” a category encompassing the most severe unplanned events that pose a threat to life. The spacecraft experienced issues with its thrusters on approach to the International Space Station (ISS) just over two years ago, and for a brief period of time lost the ability to safely orient itself. After managing to dock, the two astronauts aboard the Starliner, NASA’s Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, expected to return home 10 days later. But engineers, after failing to resolve the issue,…

Security researchers have uncovered major vulnerabilities in two of Tesla’s most popular vehicles, revealing that the Tesla Model 3 and Cybertruck can be transformed into remotely controlled, highly compromised “machines on wheels.” The findings highlight new concerns around the growing complexity of connected cars – and how deeply embedded software systems can introduce risks most drivers never consider. Researchers demonstrate deep access inside Tesla’s system software A research team from Northeastern University has shown that they could manipulate core systems inside the Tesla operating environment by exploiting vulnerabilities in the vehicle’s internal networking architecture. Rather than breaking into the car…

With Android now in the mix, the studio says it’s another big step toward its long-standing goal of making Warframe playable “everywhere.” The Android version supports full cross-play and cross-save, meaning players can jump between mobile, PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch…

Meta’s latest developer update delivers a quiet but major shift in strategy: the company is moving its metaverse ambitions away from virtual reality and focusing almost entirely on mobile experiences. In its 2026 Horizon update, Meta confirmed it is separating its VR platform from Horizon Worlds and “shifting the focus of Worlds to be almost exclusively mobile.” The move is designed to give both platforms room to grow independently and help creators reach a larger audience. The message is clear: VR is no longer the primary gateway to the metaverse; phones are. Meta says it began experimenting with mobile versions…
