(Natural News) Scientists have known for a while now that eating more plants and cutting back on meat can ward off diabetes or help in the management of the disease. But recent research offers new information on the possible mechanisms behind such a diet’s beneficial effects on diabetes: the proliferation of gut bacteria. In a major breakthrough, scientists […]

(Natural News) A team of archaeologists working at an excavation site near the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel have unearthed a 1,500-year-old mosaic that depicts the miracle of Jesus Christ Feeding the Multitude. Hippos, also known as Kinneret, is now located within Israel’s Hippos National Park. Thousands of years ago, it was once a Greco-Roman […]

(Natural News) A study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters discovered a pathway that explains how small celestial bodies called centaurs arrive from the outer solar system into Earth’s neighborhood. The researchers said that a gateway region near Jupiter is causing centaurs to change their orbits. Once they pass through this region, most centaurs eventually join a group called the Jupiter-family comets – […]

(Natural News) Consider keeping a sanitizer in flight – a study found that airplane water is contaminated with disease-causing bacteria. Most American airlines at the regional and national level had dirty water systems onboard their planes, according to the study released by the Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center and the website Diet Detective. Researchers examined the tap water of […]

(Natural News) The world’s first solar-powered railway line is in working order in the United Kingdom. Its innovators conducted a pilot test using Network Rail’s Wessex route and deemed the technology fully functional. The Wessex route was directly powered by solar energy supplied by a nearby solar farm near the town of Aldershot, Hampshire county. Solar power has been used before to power train. […]

(Natural News) A recent study has developed a novel device that harnesses temperature differences at night to generate electricity. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles and Stanford University teamed up to make an electricity generator that works during the cold, dark night. They came up with a thermoelectric device that was able to power an LED, […]

(Natural News) “Urban Forest,” a 30-story mixed-use high-rise in Brisbane, Australia, is poised to become the greenest building around the globe in the most literal sense. The building itself is set to be raised up on large columns that resemble tree trunks. It includes 382 apartments and a stepped facade that doubles as extended balconies for […]

(Natural News) Persistent headaches may be linked to persistent lower back pain, revealed a study published in the Journal of Headache and Pain. The study reviewed previous research and found that a person with either one of these conditions is more likely to experience both types of pain than someone without the conditions. This link could help medical scientists come up with treatment […]

(Natural News) Two researchers from England have found that baby pterodactyls, or flaplings, could fly from birth. Their discovery, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, contradicts the long-standing belief that pterodactyls only took to the air when fully grown. Earlier research on fossilized pterodactyl embryos with poorly developed wings gave rise to […]

(Natural News) In Andy Weir’s science fiction novel turned Hollywood blockbuster “The Martian,” lead character Mark Watney survives on Mars by using his botany skills to grow a small farm in his habitat. While this concept of growing plants on Mars may seem like pure science fiction now, real-life botanists want to make it a reality. At […]
