According to researchers from Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, a pathogen called Vibrio cholerae can settle on the surface as well as the intestines of soft shelled turtles which, when consumed, can be harmful for human health increasing the risk of cholera.

The introduction of standing desks in classrooms could make children smarter by improving their cognitive performance, a new study by an Indian-origin researcher has found.

Technology to drain heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere may slow global warming, but will not reverse climate damage to the ocean on any meaningful timescale, according to research published on Monday.

The rapid warming of the equatorial Indian Ocean region and cooling of atmosphere over the Eurasian continent centered around China would lead to frequent monsoon and drought years in the coming decades, according to scientists.

The discovery hints at the possibility that methane could be used as a food source by rudimentary forms of life beneath the Martian surface.

The oceans will undergo a dramatic turnover in biodiversity even if the UN meets its goal of limiting of global warming to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), scientists said Monday.

China is readying an assault on the "fortress economies" of local governments by creating a super region around Beijing, with proposals that sources suggest will be more aggressive than so far has been publicly revealed.
