Firemen from all the country gathered in front of Prime Minister’s office with fire trucks and blocked traffic in Brussels’ ring road, burning tyres (yissie!) in the streets and sprayed water and foam towards police guarding the protest. At some point police officers stood knee-deep in foam on the street.

Robots’ natural enemies are stairs. Climbing up and down stairs is something we as humans have pretty much mastered, but robots are finding it a touch more difficult. These M-Blocks, created by the brainiacs at MIT, would have no problem with stairs though.

Alfonso Cuarón’s highly anticipated film, ‘Gravity’ will made landfall in the US last week, and it looks fairly stunning. The movie follows the events of a simple routine mission on the International Space Station (ISS) gone wrong. Inspired by The Kessler Syndrome, a theory that predicts a giant domino effect could occur if space debris in low orbit started colliding, we follow Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) as they battle to get back home to Earth.
