(Natural News) A relatively small and somewhat obscure car company based out of Anaheim, California, may be the first in the advanced automotive world to unveil a solid-state battery for use in electric vehicles. The Fisker company recently filed a patent for the technology that it says it plans to unveil on a mass scale […]

(Natural News) When humans finally take over Mars, it will be with the help of 3D printing technology. Additive manufacturing will provide invaluable services during the colonization of the Red Planet, including the all-important role of shielding colonists from deadly cosmic radiation. Traditional manufacturing lines are limited to building a single product. A 3D printer, on the other hand, […]

(Natural News) Japanese and Dutch researchers demonstrated a new technique to extract an important plastic-making chemical from non-edible plant matter in large quantities. Their method of getting furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from a renewable source of material could displace the fossil fuel equivalent that is used to make plastic bottles and other plastic products. There is […]

(Natural News) When you were younger, you were probably taught that volcanoes contained a central chamber filled with molten material called magma. But a British study claims that that there is no such underground space inside a volcano, only many small pockets filled with crystals and magma. These findings are earthshaking in more ways than […]

(Natural News) Japanese researchers found the natural means by which a species of algae regulates its starch production. They believe this biological mechanism can be used to increase the starch content of algae, which would make it much more efficient and profitable to cultivate the tiny plant on an agricultural scale. Starch is not just […]

(Natural News) Battery technology is constantly improving, despite there being only fair coverage about it on the news. Unless you’re specifically looking for what’s new in the world of rechargeable batteries, you aren’t likely to find a lot of information. But there are many experts around the world who are currently working on improving the […]

(Natural News) Singaporean researchers have come up with a new incentive for people to recycle disposable PET plastic bottles instead of just throwing them away. They can turn the plastic waste into a group of very useful materials called aerogels, which would make the disposable bottles well worth the effort of holding on to or […]

(Natural News) For many decades, countless human organ transplants have been done. Some of these transplants fail because of complications such as immune system rejection, donor organ failure, and many others. These reasons are what gave rise to regenerative engineering, a field of study which aims to repair or regrow tissues and organs instead of […]

(Natural News) British and Chinese researchers have come up with a cool idea to practically eliminate the amount of toxic fumes that we breathe in every day. They want to freeze air drawn from outdoors so that the polluting particles can be separated from the breathable gas. Only when the air is absolutely clean will […]

(Natural News) Solar-powered technology has indeed come a long way since it was first invented. These days, it has come to a point where it can finally be used in large-scale applications, the latest of which is a fully working road that’s made to be used by motor vehicles. The road, colloquially referred to as a solar […]
