(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) 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 […]

(Natural News) You’ve heard of all the ways to convert light or wind or heat into usable electricity. But have you ever thought that the coldness of the universe might serve as an alternative source of clean and renewable power? Most energy production systems get their power from somewhere. Solar panels collect light while wind […]

(Natural News) Survivors of septic shock often experience memory loss and premature cognitive decline. While this is a known and established occurrence, the cause of this cognitive impairment is unknown. But in a new study published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, American researchers finally shed light on what causes the loss of […]

(Natural News) Early shamans who lived a thousand years ago used cocaine and other mind-altering substances for their rituals, according to a recent study. In their report, researchers have uncovered evidence that suggests that Native American mystics took the drug, as well as several plant-based psychotropics, to alter their consciousness. This comes after a recent investigation of the dry […]

(Natural News) Experts know that a strange species of bacteria found in oxygen-deprived sediment and soil can generate electricity. But they only recently learned that the microorganism achieves this through a method that differs from that used by other electric bacteria. Called Geobacter sulfurreducens, the anaerobic bacteria possess a unique biological structure. This previously unidentified feature makes […]

(Natural News) When it comes to bringing back plants and wildlife to the barren wasteland of strip mines throughout Central Appalachia, conservationists have recently tried out a different approach. They built their environmental restoration program around Rocky Mountain elk that recently returned to their old stomping grounds. Large populations of elk used to live in […]

(Natural News) A recent archaeological mission unearthed more evidence of life in ancient Egypt during the Age of the Pyramids. The dig, led by Mohamed Megahed of the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, revealed the remains of a nobleman named Khuwy in a colorful tomb dating back 4,400 years. The discovery was made in Saqqara, an ancient necropolis south […]

(Natural News) Caffeine helps boost the energy levels and mood of coffee drinkers. But did you know that it could also improve the performance of a new generation of solar panels? Researchers reported that coffee’s primary stimulant increased the efficiency of perovskite photovoltaic cells, an alternative approach to solar power. When bolstered by caffeine, perovskite […]

(Natural News) The oceans contain far more species of viruses than previously believed. While not all of them are harmful to humans, they may exert a considerable effect on the environment. Following an extended cruise around the world aboard a sailing ship, an international research team reported finding nearly 200,000 species of marine viruses. They released […]
