(Natural News) While studies have shown that air pollution is associated with an increased risk of premature death, for a while, scientists couldn’t identify which specific airborne particles were responsible. Now a recent study has finally determined the metal particles linked to the increased risk of premature death. Researchers from the Barcelona Institute for Global […]

(Natural News) People who believe that the next massive health threat would be the rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria or “superbugs” slightly missed their mark: the threat is no longer on the horizon; it’s already here, says a recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

(Natural News) German researchers took cues from bones when developing their new open-cell metal foams. Not only are the new materials incredibly light, they also have the strength to withstand the impact of vehicular accidents and even an explosion. The Saarland University team applied their coating process to a lattice substrate of aluminum or polymer […]

(Natural News) In potential retaliation against President Trump’s tariffs and other trade war tactics, China could be on the verge of banning all rare earth mineral exports to the United States, which would immediately cripple a number of critical tech industries. Among the five “nuclear” options that Zero Hedge says China currently has at its […]

(Natural News) The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is looking to get the most value out of the vast natural gas deposits in North America. It recently provided a big federal grant to Rice researchers, who would come up with an efficient yet inexpensive way to turn methane gas into carbon nanotubes. Being an allotrope, or alternative […]

(Natural News) The dangers of exposure to pesticides – which include increased risk of cancer and other serious health problems – have been well documented in recent years. Now, another risk associated with these toxic chemicals has been uncovered by researchers from the Universities of Illinois and Miami, and Michigan’s Wayne State University. The study, […]

(Natural News) A study conducted by two American doctors showed that cobalt, a mineral that’s a crucial component of the batteries that power smartphones, doesn’t get credit for having two of the most important attributes that contribute to overall health: antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. “The human health-supporting properties of dietary cobalt are underappreciated,” said the paper’s authors, Dr. […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the Liverpool John Moores University may have found the world’s first polluted river, reports Sci-News.com. Located in the Wadi Feynan region of southern Jordan, the now-barren riverbed was found to contain traces of anthropogenic copper pollution and was contaminated well over 7,000 years ago. The study, published in the journal Science […]
