(Natural News) The medial zone of the Earth’s three-layered interior, the mantle is itself divided into upper and lower parts. Most experts believe that the lower mantle is dormant, but a recent European study found greater signs of dynamic activity in the region. The lower mantle starts 410 miles (660 km) beneath the crust of […]

(Natural News) The bacterium known as Helicobacter pylori is notorious for its ability to colonize humans and cause stomach ulcers. While an H. pylori infection rarely causes any symptoms, there are some cases where the bacterium causes open sores to form in the stomach or triggers severe inflammation — an event that could eventually lead to gastric cancer. It […]

(Natural News) Researchers recently discovered the ruins of an ancient Egyptian military fortress. Estimated to be 2,600 years old, the “castle” acted as the gateway to the border between the modern-day nations of Egypt and Iran. Located in the North Sinai province of Egypt, the fortress arose during the rule of Psamtik I (664 B.C. […]

(Natural News) The Bermuda Islands sit atop evidence of a new process of volcanic formation. Researchers have discovered that molten material from the Earth’s mantle transition zone might filter toward the surface and form a volcano. Experts know of two methods of volcanic formation. One of the processes takes place when tectonic plates crash together. The other […]

(Natural News) The origin of gold and other heavy elements has always been a mystery. A recent study by American researchers suggests that they were byproducts of a collision between two neutron stars billions of years ago. The researchers believe that their findings, which appeared in the journal Nature, provide unique insight into planetary history. Where […]

(Natural News) A startup in the tiny mountainous country of Switzerland promises to deliver what electric car giant Tesla Motors has failed to pull off. Its new lithium-ion battery is said to store and produce far more power for vehicles than existing designs. Swiss company Innolith claims that an electric vehicle equipped with its lithium […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington have discovered how some microorganisms that live in portions of the ocean where oxygen is almost absent manage to thrive. Called marine oxygen-deficient zones (ODZs), these regions are sandwiched between the oxygen-rich surface and the deep layers. In their study, which appeared […]

(Natural News) This one’s for sci-fi lovers: A team of machine learning researchers from KU Leuven in Belgium found a simple hack to trick surveillance systems into thinking that a person is invisible. In their paper, which they presented in this year’s Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, the team revealed how wearing a colorful printed […]

(Natural News) Additive manufacturing systems have come one step closer to printing out whole, working organs for emergency medical transplants. Researchers reported 3D printing a complete system of blood vessels found on a major organ. Every day, around 20 patients who desperately need an organ transplant die before ever getting one. There are not enough […]

(Natural News) One of the experimenters involved with the Labeled Release (LR) life detection experiment that took place during NASA’s Viking mission to Mars back in 1976 has gone public with the claim that life on Mars was discovered more than 40 years ago, even though the government has yet to admit the truth. According […]
