A team of University of Arizona researchers led by Kate Su have used NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) flying observatory to take a closer look at a system 10.5 light years away and discovered it has a familiar general structure.

Consumer-grade 3D scanners tend to only handle small items, or scan with a low resolution. Now Fraunhofer has unveiled its new 3D scanner that uses infrared rays to capture objects and people in more detail, snapping up to 36 three-dimensional images per second.

There may be an unexpected upside to being relatively forgetful – you might be able to enjoy things for longer. A new study has found that people with a higher-capacity memory tend to get bored faster, due to the fact that they remember experiences in more detail and feel more satiated by them.

One of the most instantly recognisable​ hot-rods of all time is to be auctioned by RM-Sothebys in Santa Monica on June 25. Though the design is located somewhere near the intersection of art and automobiles, it is likely to be shunned by both camps on the auction block.

The Nikon D7500 looks set to appeal to enthusiast photographers with its 20.9-megapixel sensor, 4K video recording, and wireless capabilities. However, it's not the only high-end APS DSLR on the market. Here, we compare the specs and features of the Nikon D7500 and the rival Canon 7D Mark II.

Over the last 20 years we've discovered over 3,600 exoplanets, and some of these are far crazier than we could've imagined. Suddenly Earth seems pretty boring, so let’s take a quick tour of some of the most bizarre exoplanets that have been spotted so far.

Stress damage on metal components is often undetectable to the naked eyes, but now a team at Brigham Young University led by James E Patterson is developing a way to use green lasers to examine metals for signs of damage as a way of avoiding expensive better-safe-than-sorry replacements.

In one corner, we have the Galaxy S8 – Samsung's latest premium flagship sporting a sophisticated build and impressive Infinity Display. In the other corner, we have the Google Pixel, with its Apple-like presentation and pure Android experience. How do their specs and features compare?

If you've lost your sense of smell due to a virus, there may soon be a way of getting it back – temporarily, at least. Scientists have found that use of a sodium citrate nasal spray gets some people smelling again.

​Don't wander around the mountains trying to figure this one out, just follow our guide.

U-Boat Worx has been pushing its creations into the abyss since launching in 2005, and now offers a range of personal and research craft for intrepid ocean explorers. Its latest model line, the C-Researcher 2, makes use of a new battery for deeper, faster, longer missions on the ocean floor. ​

Soon we could start to see a new class of waterproof products that stay hydrophobic for the long haul. That's thanks to a breakthrough by University of Michigan researchers to create a water-repellent spray-on coating they claim is hundreds of times more durable than similar substances.
