According to a new study, Stonehenge might have been built somewhere else and was later shifted or transported to the place where it stands today. The findings of the study were presented in the journal Antiquity.

The University College London researchers on Monday detailed that Stonehenge is partially made from Welsh stones hewn about 200 miles away from its current site in Wiltshire, England.

Study researchers believe that the iconic monument was actually built in Wales and remained there for several hundreds of years before it was finally moved to its current location.

Experimental technology could be the future of computing. On Tuesday, Google, the search engine giant, has given outsiders their first peep at its experimental quantum super-computing system that it think would one day lead to a new era of data crunching.

For the last two years, Google and its partners the non-profit Universities Space Research Association and NASA have been doing experiments with the cutting edge technology. Their aim is to create an enhanced way to solve quite complex issues such as improvement in air traffic control and desalination plant operations, even in case the data is quite jumble.

A video has shown a simulation of the space environment all the way out to Pluto in the months when the New Horizons' July 2015 flyby was going on. That time, scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, were working along with the New Horizons team for testing how accurate models made by them and the ones contributed by scientists worldwide forecasted the space environment at Pluto.

By understanding the environment through in which our spacecraft travel can eventually prove helpful in protecting our spacecrafts from radiation and other likely damaging effects. Visualizers at Goddard have updated the model’s movie lately, resulting into this latest release.

World's first 3D prints have been created by researchers by recording echolocation of dolphin. They have recorded a dolphin’s echolocation for the first time, converting it into a visual representation, and have reflected what the animal really sees. In simple terms, the image let researchers look the world through a dolphin’s eyes.

In animals such as bat and dolphins, echolocation is a sensory system wherein emittion ofhigh pitched sounds takes place and is used for find out the direction and distance of the objects. The US and the UK researchers used a device known as ‘CymaScope’ for recording a dolphin’s echolocation sounds set towards particular objects and formed 2-D images from such sounds.

Soon there could be a day when the adhesive bandage used to cover the cut or a wound will come with built-in temperature sensors, drug-delivery channels, LED lights and other electronics. A team of MIT engineers is going to make it a reality.

Xuanhe Zhao and Robert Noyce have conducted a study and designed futuristic Band-Aid. The band-aid has a hydrogel which can contain LEDs and temperature sensors fixed into its structure.

In hyrdogel, an array of LED lights was set in and on getting attached to body, including while it was deformed and stretched around parts like the elbow and knee, the lights kept on working. This is the motivation for stretchable hydrogel electronics. Zhao said that they are generally used as degradable biomaterials at the preset stage.

Hollywood actor and former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger was in Paris to speak about climate change. ‘The Terminator’ actor said global warming is not a movie script that people will listen.

While talking to BBC, Schwarzenegger urged people to go part-time vegetarian to protect the mother earth. There are many different ways to get protein, the actor added. “I think it is sad the way the miscommunication about climate change, because so many times, you hear that the oceans will rise, and the sea levels are rising and temperature’s rising and the icebergs’ melting, and it’s all stuff that people cannot even relate to”, the 68-year-old former professional bodybuilder said.
