-(Natural News) Back in 2010, researchers uncovered special antibacterial properties in platypus milk. Its antibacterial potency is such that the team believed it could one day help combat superbugs. Come 2018, a new group of scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has found out why. The milk on its own is […]

-(Natural News) 3D printing has come quite a long way since experts first started experimenting with it back in the 1980s. These days, it plays a huge role in the intersection of design, manufacturing, and prototyping for consumer products that would otherwise be stuck in industrial limbo, thanks to all of the necessary prerequisites. Even […]

-(Natural News) One risk in the pharmaceutical industry that tends to get glossed over quite a bit is racemization, which occurs when a drug essentially turns into a mirror image of itself, which in some cases might make it inert and in others could cause it to become extremely dangerous. The chemical conditions in the […]

-(Natural News) A group of scientists from the University of Otago in New Zealand determined how the brain controls fertility, through a landmark study that revealed how the pituitary gland controls the activity of the reproductive organs by sending pulses of hormone. In their study, they found a group of around 2000 kisspeptin neurons in the hypothalamus that […]

-(Natural News) Archaea are single-celled microorganisms that exist in areas with extreme conditions, such as volcanic vents in the ocean floor. A recent study has proven that these “hardy microbes” and human cells have similar biochemical compositions. Tom Santangelo, a Colorado State University (CSU) researcher and associate professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular […]

-(Natural News) Goldfish fill their bodies with alcohol to survive for days (even months) in oxygen-free frozen water. Evolutionary physiologists say that they have now discovered the mechanism in which the fish — and their wild relatives, the crucian carp — are able to live in an environment where most vertebrate animals would die within […]
