(Natural News) Perhaps due to its lackluster appearance – wrinkly, with a body reminiscent of a pale, leathery sausage – the naked mole rat is the last animal you’d think to possess abilities akin to superpowers. But they do. Known for its long lifespan, relative immunity to most cancers, ability to survive more than 18 […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are working on an AI project that can accurately map what people look like just by analyzing voice recordings from the internet. The researchers published their first paper on the project: “Speech2Face: Learning the Face behind a Voice.” The researchers trained the AI neural networks using millions […]

(Natural News) They may have died out 66 million years ago, but thanks to a photographer’s new series, dinosaurs such as the fearsome predator Tyrannosaurus rex and the imposing behemoth Triceratops are coming back to life. “I sought to really bring these animals to life,” Christian Voigt said about his project, which he has dubbed “Evolution.” According to Voigt, the […]

(Natural News) An archaeological site in Ethiopia has discovered some of the earliest evidence of stone tools known to the world. Previously, the oldest unearthed evidence was dated at between 2.58 and 2.55 million years ago. In the dig site known as Bokol Dora 1 (BD1) in the Afar region of northeastern Ethiopia, researchers have found evidence of […]

(Natural News) It’s a well-known fact that living organisms have evolved well-adapted structures and materials over geological time through a process called natural selection. These include unique properties such as hydrophobicity or natural waterproofing, heat retention, bioluminescence and coloration as well as unique methods of flight and locomotion. Throughout history, scientists and engineers have made […]

(Natural News) Sorry, gentlemen, but women are better than you at remembering certain things, including conversations and people’s faces. According to the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience, such types of memories are called “episodic memories” – consciously recollected memories related to personally experienced events. Remembering these is a dynamic process that draws upon both mnemonic and non-mnemonic cognitive abilities […]

(Natural News) One of the most common tropes in science fiction involves the use of black holes as portals to other dimensions or points in time. A recent study suggests that such a scenario may be closer to reality than it is to fantasy. While scientists have predominantly believed that using black holes – a region of […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the Louis Bolk Institute in the Netherlands conducted an observational study to determine whether lifestyle interventions were effective in mitigating the global burden brought about by diabetes. They published their findings in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health. Given the increasing prevalence of Type 2 diabetes cases, experts are now looking at the potential of […]

(Natural News) If you have mold in your house, you’re not alone, because even the International Space Station (ISS) has it. The astronauts on the ISS spend hours every week cleaning up the station’s walls to make sure the mold situation doesn’t turn into a full-blown health problem. But that’s not all, because new research suggests […]

(Natural News) Research has established that bees understand the concept of zero and are capable of doing basic math. Now, a recent research conducted by scientists from the RMIT University in Australia suggests that bees are also capable of being trained to connect symbols to numbers in order to receive food. This experiment used a carrot and stick reward […]
