(Natural News) After previously denying that anything is wrong with the structure, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has finally admitted that the behemoth Three Gorges Dam in China’s Hubei province is “deformed slightly.” But nobody should worry, the regime insists, because everything is just fine. The 2.4-kilometer dam, the largest in the world, has been […]

(Natural News) Since women apparently aren’t smart enough to make it in the field of engineering on their own merits, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in Australia has decided to give them a little extra boost by drastically lowering its entry requirements, making it easier for women to get accepted into the program. According […]

(Natural News) In a few years, you could be shopping for mobile phones that pack more juice and last twice as long with a single charge than your current phone. In their study, which was featured in Nature Materials, engineers at The Pennsylvania State University have developed a way to extend battery life and performance using a novel technology. […]

(Natural News) European researchers, engineers, and construction experts have teamed up to develop a new generation of green concrete. The concrete mixtures are going to be made from renewable resources, will be compatible with 3D printing techniques, and are capable of being printed on the water – or even underwater. The mixtures are intended for 3D printing […]

(Natural News) Turkish inventors have created a new building material that is five times stronger than titanium and has the density of wood planks. Most remarkably, this new “Metallic wood” is lighter than titanium and still has the chemical stability of metal for use in manufacturing applications. The new material is made out of nickel-based […]

(Natural News) It’s been a known fact for quite some time that many colleges and universities all across the country are hotbeds of far-left liberalism, particularly in the fields of the humanities and the social sciences. But as revealed in a new short video by Prager University, this “progressive” agenda is now infecting mathematics and […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in the journal American Mineralogist revealed the chemical structure that made ancient Roman concrete so durable that they remained strong for more than 1,500 years. To carry out the study, a team of researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory used X-rays to examine samples of Roman concrete taken from an […]

(Natural News) Humans have generated an enormous amount of plastic waste over the last few decades – there is no question about that. It’s estimated that between 1950 and 2015, a staggering 8.3 billion tons of plastic was produced. And, as one might expect, a sad majority of it has ended up in landfills. The question […]

(Natural News) Earthquakes can cause immense damage to infrastructure, in turn hindering the operation of important public services. A team of researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València reportedly developed a new construction element capable of overcoming that problem. Dubbed “Smart Seismic Concrete Connection” (SSCC), this material is a combination of two “symbiotic” components: Shape-memory metal alloy […]

(Natural News) It seems like every day you see, hear, or read about something that’s being created or invented concerning all sorts of popular science fiction technology, but a fully-working tractor beam was never among them — until now. According to a team of engineers from the University of Bristol, they have successfully managed to […]
