Gadgets & Gizmos: The sound of Mars, NASA's airless tyres, robot lifeguards & 42, the archive
Share Radio's technology expert Steve Caplin lets us hear the first ever audio from Mars. He brings news of airless tyres developed from NASA tech, of a virtual Mars house sold for $0.5m, an invisible security keypad, robot lifeguards, a car using your phone as its dashboard, a foolproof Face ID system for phones, the archive of Douglas Adams's letters called - perhaps not surprisingly - 42 and the launch of clothes made from mushroom leather.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Google Nest helps you sleep while virtual offices help you work
Steve Caplin, Share Radio's technology editor, is a little nervous of the idea that Google Nest can use radar to track your sleeping patterns. He is impressed by Microsoft's AR meeting technology and Teamflow's virtual office. For those dreading Zoom meetings, Zoomescaper has the answer. He also highlights Wombo, which amusingly animates still photographs, technology to detect deep fakes, electric charging pads for spongy wooden flooring, a portable wind turbine and a 2000-year-old computer.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Facebook 1 Australia 0, Zoom burnout, electronic noses & clever pigs
Share's technology maven Steve Caplin looks at the battle between Facebook and Australia, and why Australia lost it. He tells us why Liam Thorp, offered his jab early, is NOT 6.2cm high, why people are getting Zoom burnout, how electronic noses are getting cleverer, how pigs are already clever, how Seville is generating electricity from its rotting oranges, where to get clip-on pearl earrings that are also earbuds and how Bentley is to recycle rare earth magnets used in wind turbines.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Colour e-readers, coffee as a diet aid, spying emails and cubic wombat poo
Share Radio's technology guru Steve Caplin looks at Jaguar's move to electric-only production and Coventry's bid to establish a battery gigafactory. Still with electric, there's more on the modular EV chassis and a Japanese electric oil tanker. He welcomes a colour e-reader, despite the price, and the news video games make you feel better. Coffee, he tells us, helps you burn fat while there's a clever new light in a bike helmet, the revelation that ⅔ of emails contain spy pixels and a suggested use for wombats' ability to poo cubically.
