A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change reveals that the next decade could witness a loss of the world's lake ice. The study, which involved observing 513 lakes around the Northern Hemisphere, also indicates that the loss of ice cover could impact millions of people and fish species inhabiting the lakes. Scientists view lake ice as an important indicator of climate change. A wide range of ecosystem services from recreation to transportation depend on lake ice, that would be majorly affected by the depleting ice cover.

Canada's oldest railway tunnel, the 525-meter Brockville&nbsp;Tunnel has now been transformed into a magnificent tourist attraction, with over 700 LED light and sound systems&nbsp;lighting it up.

MIT's&nbsp;mini 'cheetah' robots are unlike any other. The little beasts are considered to be the first four-legged robots capable of doing a complete 360 degree backflip.

In what is being dubbed as a scientific breakthrough and the first such case in the world, an infertile cancer survivor was able to give birth to a healthy&nbsp;baby.
