(Natural News) Earth is wrapped by invisible protective lines created by the churn of its core. These lines make up what’s known as the magnetic field. And it has served the planet well for billions of years: It has protected Earth from the solar wind and provided a basis for navigation. Unfortunately, it has also been weakening […]

(Natural News) A new study has found that summer will not slow down the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in the northern hemisphere. Previously, it was believed that an increase in ambient temperatures would slow the virus’s spread, as it does with other infectious diseases such as influenza and SARS. However, after comparing transmission rates with […]

(Natural News) There are rocky exoplanets around the size of Earth that lie within a few light-years of the solar system. While these relatively nearby worlds receive intense radiation from their active stars, they might eventually bear alien life – if they haven’t already done so. These planets lie well within the habitable zone of […]

(Natural News) Melanin might be capable of doing more than just protecting the skin from ultraviolet radiation in strong sunlight. Several researchers claimed that it could also convert other forms of harmful radiation, such as gamma rays from radioactive materials or microwaves used in wireless systems. These mavericks believed that melanin might work in the same way […]

(Natural News) Researchers at Oregon State University have found a natural way to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun. In a study that was published in the Frontiers in Pharmacology, they identified a crop called meadowfoam to contain a group of compounds called glucosinolates known for their anti-cancer and sunlight-protectant properties. Meadowfoam, a plant native to […]

(Natural News) Even in energy-saving technologies, it’s a generally accepted fact that good results come with a hefty price tag. But thanks to leaps in nanotechnology, you will soon be able to use “smart” windows to minimize your energy consumption at only a fraction of the usual cost. Conventional infrared (IR)-blocking windows are made from a […]
