Geologists studying Stonehenge rocks finally discovered where they came from
Stonehenge is one of the most incredible monuments on Earth, but it’s also one of the most puzzling. The colossal rocks, perched on their end and stacked high in a field in Wiltshire, England, seem to defy any logical explanation.
Over the years, geologists have slowly begun to trace the origins of the rocks themselves, helping to explain how they were sourced and how the monument itself was constructed. Now, a new research paper paints the clearest picture yet of where the rocks originated and how they were excavated from their original homes.

Scientists built a new rover that’s learning here on Earth how to search for life on Mars
NASA has learned a lot about Mars thanks to the efforts of its high-tech rovers. We’ve learned a lot about the composition of the planet’s surface, and thanks to Mars orbiters which can relay high-resolution images we know that a large portion of Mars was once covered in water. But we still don’t know if the planet ever supported life.
If NASA or any other scientific body could conclusively prove that life in some form once existed on Mars, it would be a monumental discovery to put it mildly. Now, a new research effort being undertaken in Chile’s Atacama Desert is giving scientists a clue as to how they might find evidence of life on Mars.

Captain America and Iron Man might do something they’ve never done before in ‘Avengers: Endgame’
Almost every Avengers: Endgame theory that we’ve seen so far proposes a happy ending that’s still quite sad. That is, the Avengers will win the upcoming fight, that’s for sure, but there’s definitely going to be a price to pay. Thanos paid his dues in Infinity War when he sacrificed Gamora in exchange for the Soul Stone, and it’s very likely that the Avengers will have to make similar heartbreaking sacrifices in order to go back and prevent Thanos from wiping out half of all life in the universe.

Shots fired: Huawei built a phone like Samsung’s Galaxy Fold, then scrapped it because the design is awful
Foldable phones had their coming-out party at MWC Barcelona this year, but none seemed to receive quite as much attention as Huawei’s Mate X. Samsung likely expected to leave Spain as the talk of the industry — instead, the Mate X is dominating headlines due to its unique, sleek design. But Huawei wasn’t content taking the foldable phone crown from MWC; the Chinese telecom company also took a parting shot at Samsung in an interview.
Speaking with Business Insider, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business group, revealed that the company had initially prototyped a device that had a design similar to that of Samsung’s Galaxy Fold. It was “not good” though, according to Yu, and so Huawei scrapped it and moved on to other concepts.

Hands-on with the elephant in the room: A massive phone with an 18,000 mAh battery
We told you that the Energizer Power Max P18K Pop would come to the Mobile World Congress this year, and I did find the colossal handset while walking the grounds at MWC. Let me tell you this: it’s both incredibly ugly and beautiful at the same time. It’s the weirdest phone I’ve ever touched, but there’s definitely going to be demand for this beast. Think about it, the Energizer P18K Pop is an 18,000 mAh battery that you only have to charge maybe once a week, that also doubles as a smartphone with what is actually a pretty modern design. What’s not to like about that?
