This 'mobile airbag' will save your phone from breaking and will make your life better READ LATER In the lives of most of us, smartphones have acquired a great deal of importance. It has for sure cancelled out the boring factor for many. While its importance remains crucial, the problem that was still not tackled after so many years is how much the smartphones are prone to accidental falls. Yes, we are all scared of that drop that would bring down our investment on the phones to zero, in some cases even negative if you get it fixed after the fall. But it seems that someone was working on this problem for quite sometime and has come up with a solution, too. An engineering student from Germany has invented a new device that looks like a 'mobile airbag' that inflates during the drops. ORIGIN OF THE IDEA: The thought struck Philip Frenzel, a 25-year-old engineering student at Aalen University in Germany when he broke his

Mars valleys are created by run-off rainwater, contours on the red planet suggests so READ LATER The surface of Mars bears imprints of structures that resemble fluvial steam networks on Earth. Scientists, therefore, assume that there must have been once enough water on the red planet to feed water streams that incised their path into the soil. For years, however, scientists have been debating the source from which this water must have originated. THE STREAMS MIGHT BE THE RESULT OF RUNOFF RAINWATER Contours seen on Mars today may have been created by run-off rainwater, say scientists who found that branching angles of the valleys on the red planet were very similar to those found in arid landscapes on Earth. A study, published in Science Advances, suggests that the branching structure of the former river networks on Mars has striking similarities with terrestrial arid landscapes. Using statistics from all mapped river valleys on Mars, rese

Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi launches ReUnite app to track missing kids READ LATER Image: Twitter/Kailash Satyarthi Union Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu and Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi launched a mobile application for tracking missing and abandoned children, today.

Each missing child reflects hope and dream of family that loses them.

Here are the top 10 richest families in the world and this Indian family is at number 7 READ LATER The moment we think about the rich people in the world, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg is a quick strike. But today, we are going to take a look at the top 10 richest families in the world. Starting from India, the Ambanis are the only ones who have made it among the top ten richest families in the world by securing a position at number seven. It is among the only three families selected from Asia, while none has been selected from China. BLOOMBERG HANDPICKED THE DESERVING 25 FAMILIES ON THE BASIS OF THESE CRITERIA: Firstly, the families holding the legacy of being a part of billionaire club generation after generations, like the Rothschilds or Rockefellers, do not fit the bill of acquiring a slot in the list. Secondly, self-made hard-earned money makes a better sound in this show, so if a source of wealth is "unverifiable of derives from the
