Starbound includes a number of useful Techs, which enhance your character in numerous ways. You are able to equip up to four Techs at a time. These Techs cannot be crafted, and instead have to be found, usually in chests.
Once you have a Tech, teleport to your ship and walk over to the Tech Station. There you'll be able to lock in up to four Techs at a time. Even though you have four locked in, you can only utilize one at a time.
Below is the list of in-game Techs that you're able to utilize once you find them.
Bubble Boost – Get a speed boost with a bubble when jumping.
Butterfly Boost – Much like bubble boost, you get a speed boost and glide in the air using butterflies.
Energy Dash – Double tap either left or right to give yourself a burst of speed.
