(Natural News) Thanks to science, humans have been able to mimic the characteristics of many different animals. One example of this is human flight, which was made possible by drawing inspiration from the movement of birds, first and foremost. Now a team of Japanese researchers wants to take inspiration from fireflies and jellyfish by unlocking […]

(Natural News) According to researchers from Northwestern University, a revolutionary “smell virtual landscape” that they developed allowed them to examine “how smells engage the brain’s navigation system.” The study is the first of its kind, and research results revealed that the mammalian brain is capable of forming a map of its surroundings using only smells. The researchers […]

(Natural News) U.K. researchers have developed artificial intelligence (AI) technology that will reportedly allow patients with dementia to move out of their residential care facilities and back to their own homes. The AI will keep an all-seeing electronic eye on the well-being of the patient using the Internet of Things, an article on Science Daily […]

(Natural News) It goes without saying that when it comes to innovating and dreaming up new ideas, creative people do it best — and it’s probably because they see the world in a different way than everyone else does. Researchers have found that people who rank high in the “open” personality trait — that is, […]

(Natural News) In the near future, contact lens might become self-powered wearable tools that can diagnose your health based on your tears. That is because U.K. researchers have found a way to print nanostructure “holograms” on their surface that turns the lenses into “smart” electronics, an article from Nano Werks states. Human tears contain biomarkers that […]

(Natural News) Silkworms may have a new competitor when it comes to producing refreshingly cool and bright-looking silk fabrics. The fibers spun by wild Madagascar comet moths look much more vivid and feel much cooler on the skin. An article in Newswise reports that research engineers have created artificial materials based on these fibers to replicate […]

(Natural News) Falls among the elderly are a common occurrence and a major problem. In fact, it is said that falls are known to be the leading cause of injury, hospital admission, and even death in those who are aged 65 and above. For this reason, a pair of engineers from Vanderbilt University have come […]

(Natural News) According to scientific research, there’s a link between sleep and creativity. It may seem counterproductive to nap while you’re trying to brainstorm for a project, but you have a higher chance of experiencing a “Eureka!” moment after you rest or sleep. On sleep and creativity People have their way of understanding certain things, […]

(Natural News) American researchers presented the very first swimming robots that do not need motors, servos, or a supply of power for propulsion. In a Science Daily article, the soft robots are made of responsive materials that change their shape whenever the temperature shifts. The regular deforming and reforming of their materials allow the robots […]

(Natural News) The current culture of science and its peer review process does not openly embrace new discoveries, innovation, or dissent. Why would conventional scientists, invested in traditional ideas, embrace an outsider’s discovery, which would disrupt the current culture and economics of food, medicine, agriculture? Why would conventional scientists, who have invested years in their […]
