-(Natural News) As it turns out, the addition of cheap, plastic lenses can effectively boost the efficiency of solar-powered water desalination systems. This is according to researchers from Rice University’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP), who found that by concentrating sunlight into “hotspots” using lenses, they could boost the efficiency of solar-powered membrane distillation desalination systems […]

-(Natural News) Humans can identify and express emotions through the sound and tone of their voice – and it turns out that some animals are capable of this, too. A recent research suggests that goats can detect emotional changes in other goats simply by listening to their vocal calls. Researchers from Queen Mary University of […]

-(Natural News) Current geological models of Earth’s past tend to assume that the seven continents as we know them have been consistent throughout out planet’s history. A recent study, however, has called that into doubt, hinting at the possibility that other continents may have come and gone in our planet’s prehistoric past. Scientists at the University of Adelaide in Australia […]

-(Natural News) As one of the thinnest, most flexible and conductive materials known to man, graphene is an important material for technologies such as flexible nanoelectronics and fuel cells. Recently, a team of researchers from Australia and India has figured out how to add “sustainable” and “affordable” to graphene’s list of attributes as well. A new […]

Mutation pattern in coronavirus sequence reveals it has been silently SPREADING in the USA for weeks
-(Natural News) The coronavirus is sweeping across the United States at an unprecedented rate. Since the first confirmed case in Washington state on January 20, hundreds of new cases have emerged in different states, and the number of coronavirus deaths has risen to nine as of Tuesday. Following warnings of possible community spread of the coronavirus by the Centers for […] -
-(Natural News) While using machines to harvest crops isn’t a new concept, using a robot that does so through machine learning is. A team of engineers from the University of Cambridge developed a vegetable-picking robot that uses machine learning to harvest a commonplace, but challenging, agricultural crop: lettuce. The team, led by Cambridge’s Dr. Fumiya Iida, initially […]

-(Natural News) Cyanide is a poison that can kill humans and animals alike. However, scientists are looking at the chemicals present in some asteroids as a way to better understand how life first emerged on our planet. According to a study by scientists at Boise State University and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the […]

-(Natural News) When the subject of carbon nanotubes is brought up, most people probably won’t think of something that can be cooked up in a kitchen. However, a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have done just that – creating carbon nanotubes with the help of common household materials. Led by Richard Li, a graduate […]

-(Natural News) For a couple of decades now, scientists and researchers have noticed a peculiar phenomenon occurring in the depths of the Dead Sea: salt snow. Scientists first noticed it in 1979 – they observed salt crystals forming on the surface of the famed lake, before “snowing” down and piling up on the lake bed. […]

-(Natural News) Diabetic kidney disease represents one of the most prevalent complications faced by people with diabetes, with one in four diabetics suffering from it. But a new study by researchers at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Massachusetts showed that certain biological factors play a large role in preventing diabetic kidney disease in some diabetics. The research team looked at a previous study […]
