Current storm tracking schemes are adept at forecasting the path of hurricanes, but lack the capacity to accurately gauge their intensity. A fleet of eight mini-satellites (left image; artist's impression) launched by Nasa from Cape Canaveral in Florida in December 2016 could fill this gap. Known as the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (Cygnss), the fleet measures surface winds in and near the inner core of tropical systems (data from one of the probe pictured top right), including regions that could not previously be measured from space. Each of the low-orbit spacecraft (pictured during development bottom right) weighs just 64 pounds (24kg), with a 5-foot (1.5-metre) wingspan.

Archaeologists unearth charred remains of a 14,400 year-old flatbread in Jordan

Recharge as you drive: Scalextric-style roads will top-up battery levels of electric vehicles during journeys under new £40 million proposal

The proposal was made in a Department for Transport (DfT) strategy designed to promote zero emission vehicle technology in Britain, but similar schemes are being attempted globally. The plans could see wireless charging points for electric vehicles (stock left) built at the roadside, at car parks, service stations and even under motorways and roads. Similar technology has already been trialled, with smartphone chip maker Qualcomm announcing its own efforts in May 2017 (top right). It is similar to the way Scalextric toy cars work. The advantage of the wireless scheme is that there doesn't need to be any physical contact with the road surface.

Did King Richard III murder the two children of Edward IV?

The direct descendant of the two young princes - Edward V and Richard, Duke of York - is the English opera singer Elizabeth Roberts (inset) who provided a DNA sample. It has long been believed the medieval English King Richard III (left) murdered the two children (right) of his predecessor Edward IV in the Tower of London in 1483. However, the mystery of whether he really did kill the children has never been solved. Inside Westminster Abbey an urn is believed to contain the bones of the 'murdered' princes. If a DNA test on these skeletons matched the maternal DNA of Ms Roberts then that would suggests the remains really do belong to the princes.

High-energy rays are traced to giant elliptical galaxy

The high-energy neutrino was detected on September 22, 2017 by the IceCube observatory, a huge facility sunk a mile beneath the surface of the South Pole. This particle – the first of its type ever detected – was traced four billion light years to its source, a distant elliptical galaxy with a giant black hole at its heart. The black hole is a smoking gun that could help astronomers finally unravel the 100 -year-old riddle of high energy cosmic rays. These rays, which consist of fast-moving elementary particles, pepper Earth from space and pose a threat to astronauts, as well as the crews and passengers of commercial flights. Until now, the origin of these high energy cosmic rays has been an enduring mystery for scientists.
