-(Natural News) In the future, your hair may provide the natural ingredients for making biomedicine that treats illness. A recent Chinese study has shown that the tiny structures in human hair might be turned into useful biomaterials. Wuhan University (WHU) researchers examined the melanin and keratin polymers in hair. They isolated the micro- and nanostructures found on […]

-(Natural News) Swedish researchers are keen on recovering as many resources as possible from waste products. One of their latest research projects promises to come up with a way to free useful chemical compounds from biological waste. In this context, biological waste refers to unwanted organic waste products from the agricultural and food industries, such […]

-(Natural News) Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Lowell developed a safer and more efficient way to power electric cars. The scientists said that this method will allow electric vehicles of all sizes to run longer with zero emissions. Using water, carbon dioxide, and cobalt, this innovation can produce hydrogen gas on-demand at a relatively […]

-(Natural News) If you want a vision of the future, don’t imagine “a boot stamping on a human face — for ever,” as Orwell suggested in 1984. Instead, imagine that human face staring mesmerized into the screen of some kind of nifty futuristic device on which every word, sound, and image has been algorithmically approved for consumption […]

-(Natural News) A Swedish-led research group succeeded in increasing the amount of electrical current that they can harvest from bacteria. The jump in efficiency is a big step toward the use of bacteria as sources of clean and renewable energy. In light of the dwindling supply of fossil fuels and the increasing demand for energy, researchers are exploring […]

-(Natural News) Industrial workers and soldiers alike are often exposed to deadly chemicals in the workplace. Now, they might breathe in relief thanks to a new metal-organic framework. When applied to the fibers of various textiles, the coating will catch and trap deadly chemicals, keeping the toxic substances from ever reaching the wearer. The metal-organic […]

-(Natural News) Swedish researchers fiddled with wood until they managed to turn it technically transparent. They also made the biodegradable material capable of absorbing heat from sunlight and releasing it during colder periods. If used in the windows of buildings, the revolutionary material might help save energy by reducing the need for artificial heating and […]

-(Natural News) Thermochromic materials are “smart” materials that change their color depending on the temperature of their surroundings. Recently, a Singaporean research team presented a liquid that grew much darker as it got hotter. Their invention might prove useful in smart windows and other applications that respond to temperature changes. Unlike earlier examples that relied […]

-(Natural News) Why do healthy baseball players die when a ball slams into their chest while patients survive potentially lethal tachyarrhythmia attacks when they get a timely thump to the chest? Swiss researchers hoped to answer this puzzle with a recently-developed instrument that simulates how a blow to the chest affects the heart rate. When the […]

-(Natural News) The contamination of water, especially with fecal matter from animals or humans, is a serious problem. Pathogens from human or animal wastes can cause life-threatening diseases as well as economic losses. To address fecal pollution of water systems properly, it is important to know the origin of the waste. Human and animal wastes present different health […]
