Presbyopia is a common form of age-induced far-sightedness. Now a Stanford team has developed a pair of high-tech specs called autofocals, which use fluid-filled lenses, depth-sensing cameras and eye-tracking technology to make sure whatever a wearer is looking at stays sharp.

An electric plane capable of traveling 1,000 km on each charge would be capable of hopping between some pretty exotic destinations. This might sound like a pipe dream, but these distances are firmly in the sights of electric aircraft builders gearing up for test flights within the next few years.

​A couple of weeks ago, Cambridge Audio entered the true wireless earphones space with the oddly-named Melomania 1 – with an AirPods-beating 45 hours of use before needing to find a power outlet. We've been putting them to the test ever since.​

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have demonstrated a prototype of a drug that can release three active ingredients, at different times in sequence. The key to this unusual and useful ointment is artificial DNA, which breaks down at precise intervals.

This year's overall Pikes Peak win was taken by a group of friends who found themselves short of a team when Faraday Future pulled out of competition last year. With no factory backing, they bought themselves a car, tuned it up and took an 11-second victory.

How healthy our digital habits are is the subject of much debate right now, with even Apple and Google building "digital wellbeing" tools into their mobile operating systems. Now there's the BoringPhone, a crowdfunded device designed so you to spend less time staring at a small screen in your hand.

Three new, roughly Earth-sized exoplanets have been found orbiting a nearby star. Named L 98-59b, c and d, the small worlds were spotted by NASA’s TESS, as part of a larger haul of data that finally brings the total tally past the milestone of 4,000 exoplanets discovered to date.

From its bulging Unimog cab, to its 6.8-ton weight, little about the Action Mobil Temet 3600 would be considered "small" at your average vehicle company. But for Action Mobile, the 3600 is compact and agile, a truck that can climb over talus on its way to providing hotel-like accommodations.
