Researchers at the University of New South Wales have each achieved records in processing quantum data with an accuracy above 99 percent and the storage of coherent quantum information for more than thirty seconds, both of which are essential for creating future super-fast quantum computers.

A study has suggested foods high in sugar and fat might not need to result in significant weight gain. Researchers have identified a gene that can dictate how these foods are processed, potentially suppressing obesity and other problems that often go hand-in-hand with unhealthy eating habits.

Japanese firm Omron has developed a new ping-pong-playing robot that, although not capable of taking on and beating even a semi-skilled human player, is capable of entering into long rallies with human players.

The tying and untying of your shoelaces may not be way up there on your list of everyday hassles, but hey – if you can get around doing it, why not? That's the idea behind Zubits. They're magnetized shoe closures, that take the place of bows.

Ferrari has been in America for 60 years, and is celebrating the milestone with the (very) limited-run V12 F60America convertible. Powered by the V12 engine from the F12 Berlinetta, the F60America will sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.1 seconds.

Among all of the exciting cars on the floor at the Paris Motor Show, some of the best metal came from French manufacturers making the most of their home-ground advantage. Citroën used its stand to display a luxurious concept of what its future flagship could look like.

While sat at his desk trying to unwind, designer Frank Cohen was inspired to create a modern version of the Lava Lamp. The result is Waves: a smart Bluetooth speaker that sports rows of programmable LED lights which illuminate customizable diffusion filters up top.

Here's one for Star Wars diehards. A group of drone pilots have taken their vehicles to a dense forest in the French Alps, weaving in and out of trees in a spectacle that paid homage to the high-stakes pod races of Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.
