(Natural News) Anyone who’s ever worked with any form tape has most likely had trouble getting it to stick on really hot or really cold surfaces. The adhesives used in various tapes today can end up loosing their stickiness when exposed to extreme temperatures, while leaving behind an annoying residue. A recent study, however, has come […]

(Natural News) Carbon dioxide may be used to help produce natural gas from deposits buried deep beneath the Earth. A recent study is proposing that air and carbon dioxide injected into methane ice deposits that are buried beneath the Gulf of Mexico could unlock vast natural energy resources. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin […]

(Natural News) When patients go to a medical practitioner to complain about chest pain, they often end up undergoing catheter angiography to see the adequacy of their blood supply to the heart. However, new research suggests there are much safer and non-invasive procedures available that can provide an equally accurate diagnosis. A study published in the journal BMJ […]

(Natural News) The generation of heat, whether for home or industrial use, is one of the largest consumers of energy in modern society. This is despite the fact that a large, natural source of heat exists in the form of the Sun. However, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new material […]

(Natural News) Machine learning algorithms have been used to train artificial intelligence to do a number of amazing things, from playing chess to predicting customer preferences. Now, a group of researchers used machine learning to try to uncover hidden scientific knowledge. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy‘s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have created a machine learning algorithm, […]

(Natural News) After more than three decades of research, scientists — in what has been called a landmark discovery — have finally synthesized a powerful anti-cancer compound. The compound, named E7130, is a type of halichondrin, and was synthesized by a team of researchers from Harvard University in collaboration with researchers at Japanese pharmaceutical company […]

(Natural News) A stroke is one of the scariest things that can happen to anyone. Even if it doesn’t always lead to death, sufferers can live with permanent brain damage.
