(Natural News) An intra-European research team is hard at work designing the newest iteration of “electronic noses.” The final version of their gas sensor will be sensitive enough to detect minute traces of industrial air pollutants in the environment. INITIO is an international research project of the European Union’s Horizon2020 FET-OPEN. Supported by the European Commission with […]

(Natural News) Light is generally considered to be a good thing, and with good reason: Life could not exist without it. Almost all energy used by the multitude of life forms is derived from the sun. Light is necessary for photosynthesis in plants and algae, and without it, the entire planet would be cold, dark […]

(Natural News) Pollinators are crucial to food production around the globe. In the U.S. alone, at least a third of all agricultural output hinges on pollinators. According to a fascinating study, having pollinators like wild bees is crucial to the production of larger blueberries. The study was published in the journal Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment and conducted by […]

(Natural News) Climate-anxious media outlets are raving about a new artificial beef product known as “Impossible Burger” that, according to the company that manufactures it, has an 89 percent smaller “carbon footprint” than real beef. But are genetically-modified (GMO) soybeans that have been sprayed with toxic glyphosate (Roundup) really environmentally-friendly? The reason we ask is […]

(Natural News) Over 50 groups are clamoring for Iowa lawmakers to mark as urgent the passing of a landmark legislation to enact a moratorium on factory farm expansion in a state that is home to more than 10,000 farm factories. Krissy Kasserman, the national factory farm campaigner at Food & Water Watch, is of the opinion that factory […]

(Natural News) Better known as “flying cars,” electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) are said to be the cleaner and more economical mode of transportation compared to ground vehicles. However, researchers recently warned that this only applied for long commutes – over shorter distances, eVTOLs proved to be more inefficient and generated more air […]

(Natural News) In a case of fighting fire with fire, Missouri-based researchers used a type of bacteria to produce the active material for making the membrane of a water filter. When exposed to light, the material released heat that killed harmful bacteria, thereby preventing the biological fouling of the filter. In response to the increasing strain […]

(Natural News) With all the negligence and mayhem caused and perpetuated by the U.S. bureaucrats, just how often do citizens actually get the green light from a judge to sue the Federal government? Nearly 2,000 residents of Flint, Michigan were identified by a Federal Judge in district court as being harmed by contaminated drinking water […]

(Natural News) The IFO Institute in Germany just released a new report on the ecological impact of electric cars. Electric cars are often advertised as “green” technology, great for the environment and the best solution to preserve the Earth’s ozone layer. The member countries of the European Union (EU) promote electric cars as the savior […]

(Natural News) When street lights are turned off for part of the night, they do not just save on the electricity bill. Researchers from the U.K. said that the energy-conserving practice also benefits moths and other nocturnal insects by helping to restore the animals’ original behavior before artificial light pollution intruded upon the night. In a study published in […]
