-(Natural News) If crinkled leaves and lower yield are all farmers are worried about while spreading cancerous pesticides on millions of acres of farms, we’re all in big trouble. After all, killing weeds is big business, but killing bees, butterflies and humans, well, that’s nothing to consider at all, according to biotechnology monster corporations like […]

-(Natural News) Genetically modified food is a very controversial subject. More and more people are growing skeptical of its safety and going out of their way to avoid it, while others are less concerned by its risks. What factors play a role in these attitudes? In a study carried out by the University of Florida, […]

-(Natural News) A study conducted by the Cairo University in Egypt has revealed that Actinotrichia fragilis (commonly known as red algae) could potentially be an alternative form of treating osteoarthritis (OA) in the near future. The algae, when used either in powder or gel form, has shown promise in managing the underlying factors of the condition during the testing stages. The research, which […]

-(Natural News) Spider silk is pretty strong stuff. It’s so strong, Indian and South Korean researchers are using it to create nano-scale piezoelectric generators. In an article in Nanowerk, the researchers reported getting spider silk molecules to generate an electric charge when placed under physical pressure. This was the first time a piezoelectric response has […]

-(Natural News) The amount of electronic data we generate every year is quickly outstripping the capacity of the latest storage systems. The U.S. intelligence community wants a new storage material that can accomodate all that data. In an article on Live Science, they are looking into a rather concerning source that is known to store dense […]

-(Natural News) America’s infrastructure has seen better days. The American Society of Civil Engineers scored the country a near-failing D+ in its 2017 Infrastructure Report Card. D’s and C’s were given across the board, with the railway system being the only category to have scored a B. Those grades could be changing for the better […]

-(Natural News) In the near future, contact lens might become self-powered wearable tools that can diagnose your health based on your tears. That is because U.K. researchers have found a way to print nanostructure “holograms” on their surface that turns the lenses into “smart” electronics, an article from Nano Werks states. Human tears contain biomarkers that […]

-(Natural News) Biology Fortified, Inc. (BFI) is a tax-exempt GMO-front group with a main mission of teaching scientists how to communicate with the public (and political lobbyists) and convince them that genetically modified organisms in food are not the health-and-environmental horror story that they really are today. The BFI main source of reference is the […]

-(Natural News) Silkworms may have a new competitor when it comes to producing refreshingly cool and bright-looking silk fabrics. The fibers spun by wild Madagascar comet moths look much more vivid and feel much cooler on the skin. An article in Newswise reports that research engineers have created artificial materials based on these fibers to replicate […]

-(Natural News) A Japanese study combined two different techniques in order to keep track of live changes inside the brain. This new real-time observation method enables a brand new field of research dubbed “real-time metabolomics,” an article in Alpha Galileo states. Disease research places great importance on staying atop of the latest growth, development, and […]
