If you're tired of boring building walls, Manhattan-based experiential design firm ESI Design has a solution. The firm has outfitted Terrell Pace in the US capital Washington, DC, with 1,700 sq ft of interactive media displays that react to activity within the building.

Hearing aids aren't an easy product type to review, but we have some long-term impressions of our time using the new Signia primax hearing aids, with automatic "audio radar."

You've likely heard of snow lines on white mountains here on Earth. But newly forming stars have a snow line too and we usually can't see it, even with our most powerful telescopes. Thanks to one particular stellar outburst however, the line was pushed far out, allowing one telescope to capture it.

Last year, Amazon kicked off its inaugural Picking Challenge to encourage teams to create robots able to perform the task of an Amazon stock picker. This year’s competition added a second type of challenge – and a Dutch team has claimed victories in both.

There are currently a record seven active unmanned missions operating on or around Mars, but the parade has only just begun. The next couple of decades will be very busy indeed as a new series of international missions head out to the Red Planet.

With design work already starting on next-generation fighters for the 2040s, BAE Systems and the University of Glasgow are looking at a faster, cheaper way to produce unmanned air vehicles (UAV), where they aren't constructed, but grown in computer-controlled chemical vats in a matter weeks.

No sign yet of giant sandworms, but NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has sent back images that show sand ripples on the Red Planet’s dunes are of a type not found on Earth’s deserts. Created by Mars’ thin atmosphere, the information has provided new clues on the history of the planet’s atmosphere.

Toilet Foot. It might sound like a disease you get from walking barefoot in dodgy bathrooms but, in fact, it's a new invention that lets you convert any home toilet into one that can be flushed with a foot pedal. It's now raising funds – and a few eyebrows – on Kickstarter.

Steaming in a sauna is an essential part of Finnish culture, but the number of public saunas is said to be in decline. A new sauna in Helsinki called Löyly is designed to attract tourists, and also allows male and female visitors to bathe together.

Titan is one of the most interesting bodies in the Solar System, as the only other place we know of that very likely holds liquid water. Scientists have found that conditions could be right for non-water-based life to evolve, challenging our Earth-focused ideals of habitability.
