(Natural News) Living tissue can heal over time after an injury. This process is called regeneration, and some animals can regenerate certain body parts in a manner that far surpasses our own. Some injuries are severe enough, such as spinal cord injury, that the damaged nerves cannot be rebuilt. On the other hand, some animals have […]

(Natural News) Scientists have managed to discover a rare Earth mineral sitting inside a diamond that was said to be excavated from a South African mine. This mineral, called calcium silicate perovskite (CaSiO3), is a clue as to exactly what happens to the oceanic crust as the Earth goes about its way of recycling it. […]

(Natural News) A joint team of American and German researchers recently discovered self-destructive behavior by soil bacteria that should serve as a cautionary tale for us humans. A Cosmos Magazine article stated that excessively large populations of these microbes often commit “ecological suicide,” where they accidentally wipe themselves out by polluting their surroundings. In their […]

(Natural News) Deserts are among the most inhospitable places on Earth. Yet, nestled under sun-soaked, rocky valleys, life exists. These minute, photosynthetic organisms are known as hypolithic cyanobacteria or simply hypoliths, and they’ve managed to survive in the most unwelcoming of places. This uncanny ability to shrug off conditions that would doom most animals and […]

(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) Naked mole rats have long been a source of fascination to scientists. These cold-blooded mammals can go as long as 18 minutes without oxygen, they form breeding colonies like insects, and they appear not to age, which means they’re as likely to die when they’re 25 as they are when they’re 1. Females […]

(Natural News) If you are a casual stargazer, then you’ve probably already spent at least a few hours one random night trying to make out certainly celestial bodies with nothing more than just your naked eye. After all, you can’t get more casual than using no stargazing equipment at all. And for many people, this […]

(Natural News) It seems like camera sensors, such as the ones used in digicams and cell phone cameras, improve each year. But the final image quality doesn’t just rest on the image sensors themselves. Another big contributor to the image quality from these types of cameras is none other than the camera lens. Camera lenses […]

(Natural News) If you have kids, one of the most difficult things to do is to feed them vegetables. Different strategies, such as repeated food exposure, food adaptations, mealtime adaptations, social factors, nutrition education, and mixed-methods interventions, may help you get your child to eat more vegetables. Among all these methods, repeated exposure was found to […]

(Natural News) If future plans to colonize the moon or other planets in the solar system are ever going to become successful, there needs to be a tried and tested way of planting crops and harvesting them without any issues. That’s part of the reason why the EDEN-ISS greenhouse container was put together and then […]
