(Natural News) Hydrogen might just be the fuel of the future. An energy carrier like electricity, it can store tremendous amounts of energy and power places with no access to the power grid. And whether it’s used in a fuel cell or burned to create heat, its only byproducts are clean water and heat. But the “hydrogen […]

(Natural News) Imagine a city that doesn’t have to rely on factories several hundreds of miles away to supply the needs of its residents. This self-sufficient city could become its own manufacturing hub. Now, researchers from Cardiff University have found a way to make that happen. In a recent study published in the journal Computers & Operations Research, researchers described […]

(Natural News) Over 80 percent of the matter in the universe exists in a form that scientists cannot directly observe. Known as “dark matter,” this mysterious substance cannot be seen or detected by even the most powerful telescopes. Now, a recent study shows what potentially happens to dark matter when it interacts with gravity. Researchers from the Chinese […]

(Natural News) Electric vehicles are poised to create a massive waste management problem in the future without early intervention to reduce waste from electric vehicle batteries, according to a study published in the journal Nature. In a review of current battery recycling efforts, a team led by the University of Birmingham researchers reported that the British government and the industry need to act now to […]

(Natural News) The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has partnered with scientists working on the Breakthrough Listen project in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). The team will use NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to identify “light-curve anomalies” and detect “technosignatures.” Breakthrough Listen is a $100 million SETI initiative considered as the most comprehensive search for alien […]

(Natural News) Learning how to read seed packet information is critical to the success of your home garden. Most seed packets contain instructions on how to properly take care of the seeds, but perusing these instructions can be confusing for new gardeners. Here’s how to read seed packet information for a successful home garden: (h/t to MelissaKNorris.com) How to read seed packet information Many […]

(Natural News) Researchers from Stanford University developed a photon diode that could be used for an all-optical computer that uses light instead of electricity for computing. Photon diodes — devices that allow light to flow in only one direction — are ubiquitous in modern electronics and can be found in LEDs, solar cells and integrated circuits used in computing and communications. But most diodes are not small […]

(Natural News) A volcano used to loom just outside of Berlin in Germany. When the land on which it stood rifted long ago, it toppled to the ground and got buried by layers of rocks. Millions of years later, is it still capable of erupting? History of the ancient volcano outside Berlin In the late 1960s, a group […]

(Natural News) In an industry dominated by pesticides and synthetic products, traditional farming offers an alternative approach to protecting crops and the soil. It provides sustainable solutions to contemporary challenges, such as biodiversity loss and land degradation, without relying on harmful industrial methods. Here are seven indigenous practices that promote sustainability in agriculture: 1. Thai rotational cropping The Hin Lad Nai […]

(Natural News) Researchers from Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville and the American University of Beirut found that pre-natal exposure to both opioids and benzodiazepines increases an infant’s risk of severe drug withdrawal. In a study published in Hospital Pediatrics, the researchers explained that this combination is even more dangerous to children’s health than exposure to opioids alone. […]
