Solar-powered homes, cars, and planes are all well and good, but decades of research in the field have finally resulted in something really useful: the IrresistiCat solar-powered cat toy.

But work is set to become easier for Debbie Saunders, who Debbie Saunders, who has spent years tracking small, evasive birds. She and her team have developed the first radio-tracking drone that locates radio-tagged wildlife in a fraction of the time of previous methods.

The line between laptops and tablets continues to blur, as the former get thinner and the latter get more capable. Researchers at Microsoft have come up with an innovative new keyboard called the DisplayCover that clips on to a Surface and could make a significant difference to on-the-go computing.

Tiny 3D-printed robotic fish that are powered by nanoparticles in the tail and head could lead to a multitude of "smart" micro-sized robots that can be used for surgery, detoxification, and many other applications.

Lockheed Martin’s High Power Microcryocooler is designed to keep satellite sensors cold, yet it's the lightest in its class and three times the power density of previous systems.

Last month, Sony Mobile announced a joint drone venture with Japanese robotics company ZMP. The first images and videos of the Aerosense quadcopter, fitted with Sony's QX30 lens/camera module, and VTOL UAV prototypes have been released.

Sometimes you may want to keep a digital record of your notes or sketches. If you haven't got access to a computer or you'd simply prefer to use a pen, however, digitizing your content can be problematic. The new Orée Stylograph pen, however, will digitize what you write or draw as you go.

The SmartHalo, currently funding on Kickstarter, attaches to bicycle handlebars to provide riders with smart and safe directions. It also features internal sensors to track cycling metrics, a built-in alarm system, and tamper-proof mounting system.

A glue that performs at a high-level in wet environments could bring about all sorts of possibilities in areas like surgical care and ship maintenance. A team from Singapore's Nanyang Technological University claim to have developed such a glue, which hardens when an electrical voltage is applied.

With a bit of inspiration from the slick, yacht-inspired Caravisio concept camper revealed in 2013, Knaus Tabbert has developed an all-new version of its Eurostar flagship caravan.

With the goal of letting button-operated legacy devices join the home automation bandwagon, South Korean startup Naran has come up with Microbot Push – a wireless robotic "finger" designed to operate standard buttons and switches.
