(Natural News) Scorpion venom might hold the key to eliminating some strains of highly infectious bacteria, a recent study shows. According to a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from Stanford University and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) discovered that two compounds from the venom of an […]

(Natural News) Scientists looking for signs of life on Mars may need to take a deep dive first – literally. According to a study published in Frontiers in Earth Science, the upcoming Mars expeditions by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) – both of which have the specific […]

(Natural News) The development and deployment of intercontinental nuclear missiles in the 1950s was a military game changer that many experts believe actually prevented a third or even a fourth world war between the great powers. Though conventional war remained a threat, any large power with a nuclear arsenal would no doubt use it in […]

(Natural News) Researchers have not yet determined if even the most simplistic form of alien life exists on Mars. But just in case, NASA is designing spacesuits that will keep astronauts safe from both potential Martian microbes and actual dust. The crews of the first three Apollo missions that landed on the moon went through […]

(Natural News) Fuel cell technology has been around for some time. The first truly modern fuel cell vehicles came from the 1950s and 1960s, when they were used on experimental vehicles such as the 1966 Electrovan, a van which was outfitted with a fuel cell that took up so much space it could only fit two people. Fuel cell technology was even […]

(Natural News) Chemists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign managed to successfully create liquid fuel from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water using gold nanoparticles. The process was inspired by photosynthesis, the energy production method of plants. The study was a collaboration between Sungju Yu, a postdoctoral researcher and Prashaint Jain, a chemistry professor. They published their findings in Nature […]

(Natural News) A transportation company is betting that its new oversized drone will, within 10 years, take to the skies as a cargo transporter, a flying taxi or even an air ambulance. The company, Alaka’i Technologies, unveiled the passenger-carrying model of their “oversized drone” near Los Angeles. They call it the Skai (pronounced “sky”), a drone with […]

(Natural News) For over 50 years, scientists have been baffled by events known as “transient lunar phenomena” (TLP). These are brief flashes of light on the surface of the moon that astronomers have witnessed and have no conclusive explanation for. But the world might finally get an answer thanks to technology and future cooperation between a research […]

(Natural News) A researcher from the University of Lincoln believes that scientists have been looking for extraterrestrial life in the wrong places. The researcher asserts that exomoons — moons that orbit planets outside the solar system (exoplanets) — could hold the key to finding alien life. Of the 4,000 or so exoplanets that have been discovered by scientists […]

(Natural News) In many countries, fresh-cut fruits and vegetables are attracting more and more consumers due to their convenience as ready-to-eat products. However, while these products help people save time, the processes they go through leave them exposed to environmental elements, which can cause their rapid deterioration. In terms of nutrition, current processing and storage methods also […]
