(Natural News) Although scorpion venom is one of the deadliest chemicals in the world, it’s also one of the most useful. Multiple studies have shown this neurotoxin to have tremendous potential in the field of human medicine. The most recent of these studies, published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, has discovered yet […]

(Natural News) To develop new techniques in maximizing food and fuel production in the modern age, researchers from The University in Edinburgh in the United Kingdom are turning to an unlikely source for answers: The living bacteria inside the guts of bovine animals. A new study claims that microbes may be the solution to figuring […]

(Natural News) At 45 years of age, the decades-old Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope was due for an upgrade. This four-meter reflector telescope will be given just that this year. Though instead of a new eyepiece or objective lens, the Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope was instead outfitted with about 5,000 fiber optic sensor-equipped, pencil-sized robots. By […]

(Natural News) Lithuanian researchers have accidentally hit upon a winning recipe for cheap yet strong and environment-friendly building materials. By combining locally available resources and recycled materials – milled glass, to be precise – they’ve come up with ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) that matches the strength of its regular counterparts at half the cost, reported an AlphaGalileo […]

(Natural News) It is likely that you come across many different sources of bacteria as you go about your life every single day. Fortunately, your immune system is working hard in the background to prevent you from catching most diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. Doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals face the exact same […]

(Natural News) In the future, the paint applied to a wall or sprayed on a car body might feature bacterial colonies that can change color according to your liking or lighting, suggested a NanoWerk article. This development is possible thanks to British researchers who unlocked the genes responsible for many bright and vivid colors Mother […]

(Natural News) Testing methods for tick-borne diseases tend to be cumbersome, unreliable, specialized, or even nonexistent. That is, until a Science Daily article reported the recently-developed Tick-Borne Disease Serochip (TBD-Serochip) can accurately diagnose eight different tick-borne pathogens, including the bacterium responsible for the widespread Lyme disease. The brainchild of a large team of researchers from the Centers for […]

(Natural News) Thanks to an extraordinary medical procedure, a man is on the road to recovering from a fractured tibia with a bone graft created from his own fat cells. This isn’t a work of science fiction; it’s the result of efforts made by Bonus BioGroup, an Israel-based biomedical company. According to the TimesOfIsrael.com, a […]

(Natural News) Massachusetts researchers have invented the first of a new breed of thermoelectric devices, reported Science Daily. Dubbed the “thermal resonator,” it can generate electricity from its surroundings on a 24/7 basis for years. Thermoelectric devices convert heat from sunlight into electricity. A thermal resonator, on the other hand, taps the regular shifts in temperature that take […]

(Natural News) A group of European researchers will be harnessing the natural antibacterial properties of essential oils. Their goal is to create an adhesive antimicrobial film that could prevent deadly infections in hospitals, reported an Alpha Galileo article. Their efforts are part of the “Antimicrobial FLEXibal POLymers for its use in hospital environments” (FLEXPOL project), which is funded by the European […]
