(Natural News) When Harvard University first introduced RoboBee back in 2013, it could do little more than fly and cling to walls. Come 2018, the same research team has put out a new and improved RoboBee — one that can successfully dive into and burst out of water. The latest in a series of minuscule, […]

(Natural News) A group of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are currently working hard on the development of a new self-driving vehicle. But unlike many other such groups, they are taking their research towards a different direction. Many projects that aim to come up with a new autonomous vehicle solution try to […]

(Natural News) Dr. Gabriel Cousens calls 5G “a complete, unmitigated health disaster.”  But, what exactly is 5G, what dangers does it present and what must each one of us be aware of? PC Mag explains that the “G” in 3G, 4G etc. refers to a different generation of wireless technology. Each generation is differentiated by […]

(Natural News) French company Helite has created an airbag to protect senior citizens from breaking their hips when they fall down. The device, called The Hip’Air belt, was recently presented at the CES (formerly the International Consumer Electronics Show) 2018 fair. Designers of the belt say that the technology is able to sense a sudden […]

(Natural News) The use of electroencephalogram (EEG) technology has long been in use in most hospitals and clinics all over the world and, historically, its use has been mostly limited to that environment. Until now, that is. At the recently wrapped up Consumer Electronics Show expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, a Belgian technology center called Imec […]

(Natural News) Scientists have found a way to develop nanosilicon anodes, essential components of lithium-ion batteries, using recycled glass bottles. According to researchers at the University of California, Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering, silicon anodes can store significantly more energy compared with traditional graphite anodes. However, the research team noted that the expansion and shrinkage that take place […]

(Natural News) Spider silk is pretty strong stuff. It’s so strong, Indian and South Korean researchers are using it to create nano-scale piezoelectric generators. In an article in Nanowerk, the researchers reported getting spider silk molecules to generate an electric charge when placed under physical pressure. This was the first time a piezoelectric response has […]

(Natural News) An ordinary yet important enzyme might be the key to unlocking even more riches out of plants. In an article on News Wise, Tennessee-based researchers announced that the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase could make it much easier to turn plants into valuable biofuels and bioproducts. Amino acids are vital for both plants and […]

(Natural News) Batteries keep all sorts of gadgets up and running. Now, a group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has discovered a way to create a “battery” that can store and release heat “on command—at the flip of a light switch.” The system in the battery works by gathering solar heat or waste heat […]

(Natural News) A team of researchers from the University of Michigan has taken the next step in solar energy technology. Specifically, they’ve developed a new semiconductor alloy that can capture near-infrared light. In addition to being easier and cheaper to manufacture, ScienceDaily.com reported that the semiconductor alloy is also compatible with the semiconductors utilized in […]
