On Saturn’s moon Titan, life might be tiny, reclusive, and hard to find

Saturn’s largest moon Titan may be among the most Earth-like worlds in the solar system, covered in lapping rivers and lakes, but new research suggests it likely couldn't support much life — if at all.

Apple's new iPad Air is here, but you wouldn't know it just by looking at it.

For this version, Apple decided to leave the tablet unchanged on the outside, save for the new (optional) Magic Keyboard. Inside, however, the Air has Apple's M3 chip, which means it supports Apple Intelligence, the company's AI assistant.

Once again, the iPad Air comes in two sizes, one with an 11-inch display, and the other with a 13-inch display. For my Apple iPad Air (M3) review, I tested the 13-inch version....
