People all over the world rely on energy to do daily tasks – it can be as simple as doing the laundry or as complex as doing differential calculations with a computer. Approximately 40 percent of the world’s energy […]

(Natural News) The waters of a U.K. harbor now serve as the hunting grounds of an aquatic drone called WasteShark. A robot shark with autonomous functions, the drone gobbles up plastic waste floating in the water, reducing the number of pollutants that enter the ocean while also protecting the local ecosystem and its inhabitants. Ilfracombe […]

(Natural News) Mars has always been a fascination ever since it was discovered. Modern technology is always at work in uncovering what can be learned from the Red Planet. New satellite images taken by the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express Satellite now help paint a clearer picture of Mars before it became the cold, […]

(Natural News) In our oceans today, the most common form of debris you can find is plastic. While they come in different shapes and sizes, and the most widespread are microplastics – pieces of plastic which measure less than five millimeters. Plastic contamination is a growing environmental problem, especially in marine ecosystems, rivers, and lakes. Research teams […]

(Natural News) In an review published in the Journal of Neurophysiology, an Italian researcher explored the various areas of the human brain responsible for processing the meanings of concrete and abstract words. Language is generally separated into two categories, concrete and abstract. Concrete words refer to things that exist in the physical world and can be perceived by the […]

(Natural News) The deepest parts of the craters that dot the dusty Martian landscape conceal channels and valleys carved out by the passage of liquid water eons ago. European researchers consider them to be signs that Mars possessed a massive groundwater system in its distant past. Furthermore, the European Space Agency (ESA) research team uncovered […]

(Natural News) A common species of bacteria demonstrated the ability to assume a “zombie” state when faced with inhospitable conditions. This survival strategy might explain why other microorganisms still reappear despite seemingly getting eradicated by antibiotics, starvation, or other factors. Formally called “oligotrophic growth,” the state differs from normal dormancy. The bacteria remain active, but […]

(Natural News) It’s a waste that sewage treatment can only do so much to the stuff you flush down the toilet. For the most part, the process can filter water — which is returned to nature — and produce biosolids, leftovers that contain anywhere between 15 to 90 percent dry solids. Researchers at the Royal Melbourne […]
