A stroke can make it difficult to speak fluently, clearly, or in full sentences. Scientists have been working to change this, by developing a wearable device called Revoice. It helps people who lack the power of speech to communicate more naturally.

How do you stand out in a skyscraper-packed city like Dubai? Well, you can either build really big – or you can build eye-catching. MVRDV opted for the latter with its Inaura tower, which will be defined by a luminous, jewel-like orb.

The Royal Navy highlighted its Hybrid Air Wing and Atlantic Bastion strategy as Leonardo’s full-scale Proteus autonomous helicopter completed its maiden flight on January 16, marking a key step toward mixed crewed and uncrewed operations.

Even a device as simple as a computer mouse still has plenty of room for improvement. Modern versions are becoming lighter and more ergonomic. The NanoFlow i2 Air incorporates some revolutionary features and is now available on Kickstarter.

We previewed the RedMagic 11 Pro last year, but with any technology it feels better to have a real-world, lived experience with it. And while this phone isn't an all-rounder, its gaming capabilities and insane battery life demonstrate its strengths.

There's a lot of tech that solves problems that don't exist – however this isn't that. This mug from Feppo is one of those little products that makes things easier – especially if you get interrupted right when you've made yourself a coffee or tea.
