(Natural News) In recent years, many farmers have turned to the use of dangerous and toxic commercially available pesticides to help keep their farms pest-free, even though these chemicals are known to cause not just problems in the environment such as water contamination and the poisoning of local wildlife, but also diseases and health problems […]

(Natural News) Beyond death and taxes, life still has many certainties. Take farting, for example. While it’s an act many wouldn’t be caught dead doing, it’s actually a normal part of digestion: A person, on average, farts anywhere from five to 15 times a day. Still, if you’re looking to avoid smelling like rotten eggs […]

(Natural News) Off the northeastern coast of the United States, researchers have found a gigantic freshwater aquifer hiding underneath the Atlantic ocean. An aquifer is an underground layer of water. This particular aquifer’s exact size is still unclear, but the researchers believe it has the potential to be the largest known aquifer to date. For comparison, the largest […]

(Natural News) One of the things that makes the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) hard to contain is how long it can take to test for the presence of the virus (SARS-CoV-2). To address this, researchers at the University of Leicester in England are developing a new face mask that can detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 much faster. The scientists […]

(Natural News) The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that originated in Wuhan, China has now infected more than 70,000 people worldwide. While the earliest reports suggested that the virus’ mode of transmission was from animals to humans, human-to-human transmission has now been confirmed by official reports. According to the World Health Organization, previous outbreaks due to other […]

(Natural News) Research on the influenza virus has come a long way. One of the most significant discoveries about the virus is the role of Non-Structural Protein 1 (NS1) in influenza virus A infection and pathogenesis. According to earlier studies, NS1 plays a critical role by antagonizing the host cell’s anti-viral response. But while scientists […]

(Natural News) Environmental pollution is considered one of the biggest global threats. It is defined as the introduction of harmful contaminants to the environment through various means. These contaminants, or pollutants, can cause serious damage to the ecosystem and can even destroy the balance of the environment. According to a report by Pure Earth, a non-profit […]

(Natural News) The Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a rare but highly contagious disease caused by Zaire ebolavirus, or simply the Ebola virus. Due to the high fatality rate associated with EVD, the Ebola virus is considered one of the scariest human pathogens today. Despite efforts to develop treatments, there is still no cure for EVD. […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the US and China have developed new ways of harvesting and storing renewable energy through artificial photosynthesis. In their study, they described how synthesizing a new, dual-form catalyst can serve as the platform for artificial photosynthesis — a concept that generates much interest, given how plants can convert energy more efficiently. The […]

(Natural News) With the ever-increasing number of vehicles on the road, concern surrounding the risk of contaminating the environment with diesel fuel — and other petroleum-based products — is also rising. Diesel fuel is an extremely noxious pollutant: when spilled on water, it stays mainly on the surface, which ends up decreasing the water’s oxygen […]
