The discovery of seven habitable planets just 40 light years away is awesome, but they are still 40 light years away. Advanced scientific instruments closer to home will play very important roles in exploring these distant worlds, perhaps none more so than the James Webb Space Telescope.

Ahead of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco – which both begin at the end of this week – Qualcomm has announced plans to help software developers and hardware manufacturers utilize its products to power cutting-edge VR experiences.

Remastering of movies and video games allows us to see old classics with more detail and definition than the original. Taking a page out of that book, astronomers have developed a way to "remaster" old optical images of space, using neural networks to potentially bring new discoveries into focus.

​If you like listening to music while on the slopes, you can wear earbuds beneath your helmet, or you can get a helmet with built-in speakers. The former can be fiddly, however, while the latter doesn't let you hear your tunes once you take the helmet off. That's why Unit 1 created the Soundshield.

​We've already seen a few portable electrocardiographs that let users monitor the electrical activity of their heart, wherever they may be. Researchers from Spain have just developed a system of their own, however, which offers something that most others don't.

Due to house prices in London being what they are, shrewd firms are looking to turn even the smallest space into a viable home. With this in mind, Studiomama has transformed a tiny former minicab (taxi) office into a full-time home using clever custom furniture and interior design.

As rival airlines attempt to draw new customers in with more luxurious seats and unique experiences, Qantas has unveiled a new premium economy cabi​n for its 787-9 Dreamliner. Not only is there more space, passengers get more technology and storage in the luxurious new setup.

​An international team of astronomers has announced the discovery of seven Earth-sized exoplanets in orbit around a nearby ultracool red dwarf star, including three that reside in the star's habitable zone.

Keeping an "air gap" between a hard drive and other devices forces any would-be thief to physically go to the machine ... or so you might think. Researchers have shown that hackers could use the flashing LED on the outside of a computer to beam data to a waiting drone.

Most of us are heavily reliant on our cars, and it's nice to know if your big purchase will be running smoothly after the new car smell has worn off. The latest JD Power Dependability Survey has revealed the cars least (and most) likely to cause you problems.

This year, one of the most important artifacts of the Space Age, the Columbia command module of the Apollo 11 mission​, will leave its home at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum for the first time in almost 50 years as the centerpiece of an exhibition traveling to museums across the US.

When silicon wafers are cut from sheets of silicon, a lot of sawdust is produced. Ordinarily, that material is discarded. Thanks to research currently being conducted by Japan's Tohoku University and Osaka University, however, it may soon find its way into high-performing lithium-ion batteries.
