(Natural News) Elon Musk’s electric car brand has cornered the mid-level and high-end electric car market for years, but as green cars become more popular, Tesla is no longer the only game in town. More car manufacturers are looking to expand and are including electric vehicles in their line-ups. With higher end retailers like Audi […]

(Natural News) What if there were a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to test your drinking water at home or at work to determine just how much toxic fluoride it contains? Well, thanks to the dedicated work of researchers from Switzerland, now there is. A new study published in the Journal of the American Chemical […]

(Natural News) Chinese researchers recently uncovered a very efficient arrangement of two common semiconductor materials that would greatly increase their efficiency as photocatalysts. They reported that a two-dimensional heterostructure made up of nanometer-thin layers of black phosphorus and bismuth tungstate could split water in the presence of sufficient light. Furthermore, the same semiconductor structure could […]

(Natural News) The newest design for a noise-canceling system can fit inside a pillow of a person who has to share their bed with someone who snores in their sleep. By placing it closer to the head of a person, it can efficiently cancel out loud snoring noises that can ruin sleep. A sound with a noise level of at least 35 decibels (dB) […]

(Natural News) Cambridge researchers came up with a game app called “Decoder” that supposedly trains the brain of the player. They claimed that regularly playing the brain training game could improve the concentration of the user. They developed the app in response to the decreasing attention spans of young people. Increasing amounts of technologies require fast reactions to electronic […]

(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) Even as internet of things devices grow ever smaller, they continue to require more power. But most of these smart devices are too small to fit batteries and power cords might restrict them. This led Japanese researchers to refine an existing tool which could collect electromechanical energy from its surroundings. Their new energy harvester is called a micro-electronic mechanical […]

(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) Recycling is all well and good. But there should be a logical limit as to which waste products should be reused and how they are going to be recycled. For example, turning biosolids into bricks sounds good on paper, but people may not be so eager about building their homes out of solidified sewage. “Biosolids” is the euphemistic term for the leftover sewage […]

(Natural News) When it comes to milk, you generally have two choices: You can get fresh milk and consume it quickly before it goes bad, or you could get UHT milk that can stay on the shelf unopened for months on end and accept the compromise in flavor and potential digestion problems this option brings.
