(Natural News) When humans finally take over Mars, it will be with the help of 3D printing technology. Additive manufacturing will provide invaluable services during the colonization of the Red Planet, including the all-important role of shielding colonists from deadly cosmic radiation. Traditional manufacturing lines are limited to building a single product. A 3D printer, on the other hand, […]

(Natural News) The world of technology may be a modern marvel, but each innovation seems to come with its own increasingly hefty price tag. The cost of personal privacy, in particular, has come to be a top concern — whether it be in the realm of social media or the latest password technology. Retinal and […]

(Natural News) According to a recent study, breathalyzers can soon be used to test the condition of athletes and individuals who want to lose weight. Thanks to a sensor developed by Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH Zurich, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich) researchers, a breathalyzer can now be used to measure when the body starts […]

(Natural News) A video camera-controlling robot was used to record the negative effects of neonicotinoids on bumblebees. The Harvard-designed machine was able to record and show the disruptive effects of the pesticides on the way the bees behaved, interacted with other members of their nest, and regulated their body temperature. Bees are in serious danger from widely used […]

(Natural News) The rapidly expanding field of robotics has already produced some surprising innovations, but it’s difficult to think of anything more unexpected than what a Swiss research team has recently unveiled: an edible robot. Researchers from Intelligent Systems Laboratory at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) described their work with gelatin-based actuators, which could […]

(Natural News) Have you ever wondered why the skin of earthworms are always free of dirt despite living in soil? Germany-based researchers explained that the worms are coated in a layer of lubricant that repels dirt from their skin. Furthermore, they have copied this natural self-lubricating ability in an artificial polymer. The new material is designed to generate […]

(Natural News) A crackpot theory no more, scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology just revealed they now possess the technology to beam voices into your head. For years , the mainstream media has been poking fun at anyone who actually believed the “powers that be” are desperately trying to usurp control over humanity — but […]

(Natural News) Scientists are finding ways on how to make use of the body’s electrical system to help the body heal, according to a report by Rutgers Today, that even controlling diabetes with just a click of an app on the phone seems possible. “Our bodies are a lot like rooms in a house. In […]

(Natural News) Fewer people are having children, it would seem. Scores of research suggests that more couples are opting to remain childless, leaving many experts to claim a “baby bust” to explain the rapidly declining fertility rates currently being experienced worldwide. According to the latest data from the U.S.-based Population Reference Bureau (PRB), the worldwide […]

(Natural News) Any time a new technology has an industry buzzing, there will always be skeptics. When it comes to scientific advancements like genetic engineering and gene editing, much of that concern relates to the long-term effects of these seemingly miraculous practices. Even if something appears to be safe right now, how can anyone be […]
