-(Natural News) You’ve heard of robots that can run, lift, jump and crawl. Now, prepare to see one that can bleed. In a paper published in the scientific journal Nature, a joint team of researchers from Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania detailed how they built a soft robotic lionfish, complete with a multi-functional […]

-(Natural News) It’s a well-known fact that living organisms have evolved well-adapted structures and materials over geological time through a process called natural selection. These include unique properties such as hydrophobicity or natural waterproofing, heat retention, bioluminescence and coloration as well as unique methods of flight and locomotion. Throughout history, scientists and engineers have made […]

Japanese researchers discover novel enzyme from soil fungus that can be used for industrial purposes
-(Natural News) A new enzyme has been discovered in a soil fungus previously linked to fruit rot, according to Japanese researchers. The enzyme, identified as a type of glucanase by a group of researchers from Tokyo University of Science, Tokyo Institute of Technology and other organizations, may play an important role in soil ecosystems. According to the study, which was […] -
-(Natural News) The spent shells of chicken eggs might go from unwanted biowaste to a cheap, renewable, and valuable alternative material to metals in lithium-ion batteries. A German-led study reports that powdered chicken eggshells successfully store large amounts of electrical energy. Led by researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the international team tested eggshells […]

-(Natural News) The ability to spot tumors and metastases at an early stage would improve the survival chances of cancer patients. A new approach uses nanobodies from alpacas to target early lesions and prevent metastasis. Earlier studies have tried to target the tumor cells. However, cancerous cells frequently mutate, which makes them hard to pin […]

-(Natural News) Additive manufacturing systems have come one step closer to printing out whole, working organs for emergency medical transplants. Researchers reported 3D printing a complete system of blood vessels found on a major organ. Every day, around 20 patients who desperately need an organ transplant die before ever getting one. There are not enough […]

-(Natural News) Experts know that a strange species of bacteria found in oxygen-deprived sediment and soil can generate electricity. But they only recently learned that the microorganism achieves this through a method that differs from that used by other electric bacteria. Called Geobacter sulfurreducens, the anaerobic bacteria possess a unique biological structure. This previously unidentified feature makes […]

-(Natural News) In the future, your hair may provide the natural ingredients for making biomedicine that treats illness. A recent Chinese study has shown that the tiny structures in human hair might be turned into useful biomaterials. Wuhan University (WHU) researchers examined the melanin and keratin polymers in hair. They isolated the micro- and nanostructures found on […]

-(Natural News) Stem cell therapy is a modern approach developed for tissue regeneration. This approach, also known as regenerative medicine, mainly involves the replacement of diseased or damaged cells with healthier and newer cells. Although stem cell therapy was initially conceived with embryonic stem cells as its main components, controversy regarding the use of such […]

-(Natural News) In this study, researchers from different universities in South Korea investigated the proliferative effects of apple ethanol extract on two types of mesenchymal stem cells and identified the possible molecular mechanisms underlying these effects. The results of their study were published in the journal Nutrition Research. Adult stem cells (ASCs) are commonly used […]
