-(Natural News) Even as humans keep on filling the planet with plastic pollutants, the bountiful oceans reveal a means by which the problem can be resolved. An Israeli research team announced that they successfully created a biodegradable plastic from a common seaweed. Their new bioplastic could be broken down by bacteria that feed on the seaweed […]

-(Natural News) Ohio-based researchers reported the successful revival of an old way of producing the very useful compound ammonia. They used a plasma-based electrolytic reaction to create ammonia from nitrogen and water. Furthermore, they did not need to use any hydrogen or solid metal catalysts. Ammonia was first synthesized in the early 20th century. Nowadays, it is used to make fertilizer and numerous […]

-(Natural News) Electric and hybrid cars have long billed themselves as the “green” alternative to gas-powered vehicles. But in more recent times, the electric vehicle industry has come under fire for misrepresenting how green their products really are. Recent reports show the environmental ramifications of electric cars are actually going to be worse than that of […]

-(Natural News) A recent breakthrough in magnesium-based energy storage technology promised to make the tried-and-tested design much more competitive with lithium-ion systems. The updated battery achieved its vast increase in storage capacity and energy discharge by using an organic electrode alongside chloride-free electrolytes. High-energy magnesium batteries derived from the new design can be used in all kinds of roles. They […]

-(Natural News) Chicago-based researchers have come up with a new way to improve the performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries. They are going to remove the ionic part of the battery and replace it with air. These so-called lithium-air batteries have not yet left the experimental phase of development. However, they are already being touted as the next logical step for […]

-(Natural News) NASA researchers may have found a sweet surprise in outer space. Apparently, the inhospitable environs of space can produce sugar molecules. Better yet, this sugar is not any of the common ones found in foods; instead, it is the complex molecule found in the DNA of living organisms. In a recent experiment, the researchers replicated the conditions found in outer […]

-(Natural News) Every parent knows that the quickest way to soothe a crying child after stubbing his toe or scraping his knee is to apply an adhesive bandage. It’s even known to make the “boo-boos” disappear. Taking it off, however, is a different – and painful – story. Luckily, a study by researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson […]

-(Natural News) A relatively small and somewhat obscure car company based out of Anaheim, California, may be the first in the advanced automotive world to unveil a solid-state battery for use in electric vehicles. The Fisker company recently filed a patent for the technology that it says it plans to unveil on a mass scale […]

-(Natural News) Japanese and Dutch researchers demonstrated a new technique to extract an important plastic-making chemical from non-edible plant matter in large quantities. Their method of getting furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from a renewable source of material could displace the fossil fuel equivalent that is used to make plastic bottles and other plastic products. There is […]

-(Natural News) Japanese researchers found the natural means by which a species of algae regulates its starch production. They believe this biological mechanism can be used to increase the starch content of algae, which would make it much more efficient and profitable to cultivate the tiny plant on an agricultural scale. Starch is not just […]
