Galaxy S10 sales are off to a flying start, according to some reports, with Samsung having already run out of free Galaxy Buds wireless headphones that were bundled with the more expensive versions. Some Galaxy S10 models were already sold out in the US last week, just a few days after preorders, and the phone is doing well in Korea too, according to some estimates. An insider seems to think the Galaxy S10 will do even better than initially expected, and that’s partly because the Galaxy S10 is nothing like the iPhone XS and XR models that were released last fall.

You make countless decisions every day that range from mundane to incredibly important, but what part of you is actually making those decisions? We all assume that our brains are focused on whatever task we’re tackling, but a new study suggests that your brain is usually working a few steps ahead all on its own, and it makes your decisions long before you consciously think about them.

The study, which was published in Scientific Reports, reveals that what we often think of as free will and our ability to make decisions on the fly isn’t nearly as cut-and-dry. Your brain, it turns out, might be running the show largely in the background.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology describe the new robot they just built and unveiled as “powerful, robust and inexpensive.” Among its abilities, the robot can run, walk and (sigh) execute a perfect backflip upon command. This is either an impressive display of mechanical engineering prowess or a worrisome development, depending on your point of view.

This is also the first time a four-legged robot has been built with the ability to backflip, which you can see occur in the clip above. The robot crouches down a bit, then shoves itself into the air.

When it comes to gender equality, NASA’s long history definitely has a few blemishes. Some incredibly influential women who made NASA what it is today waited a long time to get the recognition they deserved from the start, but things are quite a bit different today. NASA celebrates the accomplishments of the many highly qualified women who fill its ranks, and a couple of them are about to perform a truly history spacewalk.

NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch are both currently residents of the International Space Station, and they’ll be conducting the first all-female spacewalk later this month.

Fitbit is making a play for new customers who don’t currently sport one of the company’s wearables on their wrists by unveiling four new, more affordable devices today. These include a smartwatch and three activity trackers, one of which is meant for kids to help them start learning healthy habits early.

The news comes at the same time as Fitbit is also planning to roll out a “major redesign” of the companion mobile app that works with its wearable devices, with the new design intended to make it easier for users to understand their health and fitness stats. Users will also be able to better connect with Fitbit’s global health and fitness social community, in addition to enjoying the benefits of Fitbit Focus — a new section at the top of the app’s dashboard that will deliver insights, messages and tips.

It’s been a wild few days for Tesla. Last Thursday, the company temporarily took the order pages for the Model S, Model 3, and Model X offline and, in their place, put up a somewhat cryptic message stating that the “wait is almost over.”

Ultimately, Tesla announced that the long-promised $35,000 Tesla Model 3 would soon be available for purchase and delivery. While that would normally be welcome news, shares of Tesla immediately tanked upon word that Tesla would not be profitable during the first quarter of 2019. Meanwhile, Elon Musk over the weekend announced that Tesla would unveil its Model Y crossover vehicle on March 14. Though this would ordinarily be met with excitement, some skeptics believe that the timing was purposeful, if not panicked, and simply intended to distract investors from a non-profitable Q1.

When it comes to searching for objects outside of our own solar system, sometimes things aren’t always as they first appear. NASA’s Kepler space telescope spent its almost-decade in space searching for distant worlds never before seen by mankind. It found plenty, but some discoveries were easier to verify than others, and the very first exoplanet ever detected by Kepler has only just been confirmed.

When scientists first notice evidence of an exoplanet in data from Kepler or any other telescope, that data has to be studied closely to see if it is indeed what it appears to be. Anomalies in the data can result in false positives, and confirmation can take a long, long time.

There’s still plenty we don’t know yet about the Galaxy Note 10, but that hasn’t stopped the internet from rampant speculation. It doesn’t really matter that the Galaxy S10 isn’t out yet — we’re already anticipating the next big thing from Samsung. And now, thanks to new 3D renders from PhoneArena, we can get a glimpse of the theoretical future long before the phone maker actually unveils its next-generation flagship phablet.

Using the limited number of rumors that have been circulating around the internet in recent weeks, PhoneArena was able to construct its best guess of what the Note 10 will look like. The most enticing rumor regarding the new phone is that it could feature a quad-camera setup, just like the Galaxy S10 5G.

Anyone who has experienced a sonic boom for themselves knows just how startling the massive clap of energy can feel. Sonic booms can carry for huge distances and, depending on how far they have to travel, they can shatter windows, shake buildings, and generally disrupt life… but what does a sonic boom look like?

NASA scientists have been working on answering that very question, and a fresh series of images captured with a novel new imaging technique provides our best look yet at not one, but several sonic shockwaves in action.
