In this edition we tell you about a breakthrough in medical technology. A paralysed Frenchman has been able to walk again, thanks to a team of experts based in Grenoble and their revolutionary brain-controlled "exoskeleton". Plus, we speak to Moran Cerf, a neuroscientist from Northwestern University on how and why people believe, perceive, experience and decide. But his findings come with a warning: do not trust your own brain! And in Test 24, we tell you about Guerlain’s Mindscent, a new sensory motion-led experience to help you find the perfect perfume.

In this edition, we tell you how scientists are turning to gaming technology to map coral reefs, chart their health and even find remedies to stop them from bleaching. Plus, we speak to Privacy International researcher Eva Blum-Dumontet about how some menstruation apps are sharing users' intimate data with Facebook without their consent. And in Test 24, we show you Invoxia's bike tracker, an easy way to secure your vehicle.

France has created a new index to boost promising French startups. In this edition, we speak to the CEO of Vadesecure, a leading player in the field of cybersecurity and ask him how he's taken his business globally. We also take a look at the different technologies that are helping patients with Parkinson's disease. And in Test 24, we try the Outsight, a lidar-based technology that raises the perception and comprehension of the environment of self-driving vehicles.

In this edition of Tech24, we ask what's to become of Facebook's cryptocurrency Libra. Announced in June, many countries in Europe are opposed to it, citing systemic financial risks. France has said it will block it altogether. Plus, Dhananjay Khadilkar tells us more about the discovery of water vapour in the atmosphere of the exoplanet K2-18b. Last but not least, we try the Fairphone 3, a sustainable and modular smartphone.

IFA is Europe's biggest and oldest tech trade show, where companies from around the globe are displaying their latest products. Dhananjay Khadilkar is on the ground in Berlin bringing you everything that matters from the event. We also tell you more about how Chinese consumers are now paying for goods with their faces. Finally, we discuss the rise of augmented identity and how the company Idemia is helping people in developing countries recover a legal identity.

We take a look at the emerging fields of virtual reality, augmented reality and extended reality as applied to education. Tech 24 speaks to the founder of the Boston-based XR Libraries, which is making such technology available to more and more people in North America. Elsewhere, the fightback against planned obsolescence: how can devices be hacked to make them last longer?

From 3D-printed ingredients to genetically modified cells, in this edition, we explore what new solutions scientists are developing to produce the food of the future in a sustainable manner. And in Test 24, we try Melomind, a headset that will help you hack your own brain to induce relaxation and a stress-free state at work and elsewhere.

In this edition of Tech 24, we tell you more about quantum computing. While you won't be using such a computer to write emails or watch videos, it's still set to impact our lives in a big way in the years to come as it helps us solve problems of almost unthinkable complexity. And in Test 24, Dhananjay Khadilkar takes us outside the studio for an electrically-powered glide on the River Seine.

Humanity is on the threshold of the Bionic Age. But are we ready for it? From augmented humans to cyborg botany, #TECH24 takes you on a tour of what it means to live in a bionic era. Professor Hugh Herr leads biomechatronics at the MIT. We had the opportunity to sit down with him at the recent USI conference in Paris. He tells us more about becoming cyborgs.

This week, Tech 24 takes us to Senegal, a West African nation that's becoming a tech hub on the continent. With a good internet connection plus many incubators and investment funds, the capital Dakar is allowing start-ups to grow. The government has set the ambitious goal of reaching 35,000 new jobs in the field of technology by 2025. What's more, women are playing a big role in this tech revolution. We take a closer look in this special edition.
