(Natural News) A new study conducted by the RAND Corporation warns that advances in artificial intelligence could spark a nuclear apocalypse as soon as 2040. The researchers gathered information from experts in nuclear issues, government, AI research, AI policy, and national security. According to the paper, AI machines might not destroy the world autonomously, but […]

(Natural News) Humans have generated an enormous amount of plastic waste over the last few decades – there is no question about that. It’s estimated that between 1950 and 2015, a staggering 8.3 billion tons of plastic was produced. And, as one might expect, a sad majority of it has ended up in landfills. The question […]

(Natural News) Tesla e-cars are prowling the U.S. highways, while the roads of Chinese cities are filling up with electric buses. Soon it will be the turn of the electric plane to take to the skies. In a Deutsche Welle article, a German aerospace expert believes we will see e-planes offering short-range regional flights within two decades. Josef […]

(Natural News) The latest job to be taken over by robots is also one of the oldest and hardest ever invented. Robotic weeders are starting to become a common sight at farms that cultivate specialty crops. Experts claim they are going to be the “future of weeding,” according to an American Society on Agronomy article. […]

(Natural News) Concerns about soon-to-be-everywhere 5g technology (and really, WiFi and cellphone radiation in general) are on the rise. Studies continue to point to a substantial number of health risks associated with exposure to the radio-frequency (RF) radiation and electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation these kinds of things emit. Despite the growing body of research which […]

(Natural News) Author George Orwell’s fictional work “1984” has turned out to be more prophetic than anyone could have imagined in the late 1940s when it was published. In his book, Orwell wrote about an all-powerful Big Brother ‘surveillance state’ that tracked everyone in real time. Even at home, the government was always watching and […]

(Natural News) Detecting heart disease is now easier – thanks to a team of researchers at the University of Southern California who have developed a smartphone app that can measure a key risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and arterial stiffness. When the arteries are stiff, they become less elastic and more rigid. In turn, this causes increases […]

(Natural News) A shortage of food supply sure is scary, but nothing is more troubling and alarming than the prospect of losing precious life-sustaining water. Now a group of scientists have developed a device that can extract clean drinking water right from the air. And not only is it possible in a general sense, but that […]

(Natural News) A Chinese research team has come up with an artificial intelligence (AI) to help them diagnose prostate biopsies and identify possible cancers. According to an article on SciMex.org, the AI is as good as a human pathologist. The learning software is said to be able to grade the malignancy of the cancer with […]

(Natural News) Methane leaks in oil and gas production sites will soon be unable to escape notice. Colorado-based researchers are validating a laser-based spectroscopy technique that can “sniff” out the tiniest emissions over several square miles. According to a ScienceDaily article, the new system can monitor its assigned areas nonstop. The current approach to detecting methane emissions […]
