Researchers at MIT and Stanford have found a new way to transform waste heat into electricity, particularly in situations where the temperature gradient is small, below 100º C (180° F).

The Salsa Box tiny house, by Portland, Oregon-based firm Shelter Wise, manages to make living in a space of just 9 sq m (96 sq ft) seem not just possible, but perhaps even appealing.

The latest device promising to help usher in the suburban technological utopia of the smart home is the Alyt, an Android-powered smart home system that can be controlled not only through an app on a mobile device, but also via voice commands.

Both the MSI Dominator Pro-888 and the Asus ROG G750JZ are high-end gaming laptops, but they’re not quite created equally. While the Asus machine is clearly the looker of the two, the GT70 has a few tricks up its sleeve when it comes to internals.

Augmented reality company Metaio is developing "Thermal Touch," a technology that combines infrared and visible light cameras to detect the heat signature from your fingers and turn any object into a touchscreen.

NASA has created a "Global Selfie" photomosaic comprised of over 36,000 individual photographs taken on or around April 22, 2014, also known as Earth Day. Users can scan and zoom to view the individual photos that make up the 3.2-gigapixel image.
