(Natural News) For individuals with eyesight problems, eyeglasses can be a godsend. But many people who use eyeglasses also find them to be problematic sometimes. That’s why alternatives have been invented: So that options exist for those who don’t want to wear eyeglasses to solve their eyesight problems. Now, ophthalmologists from the Shaare Zedek Medical […]

(Natural News) They say that necessity is the mother of invention. However, there are times when it simply makes sense to invent something, regardless of whether it’s really necessary at the moment or not. This might just be the case with the contraption made possible by a group of engineers that took perovskites and layered […]

(Natural News) Would you allow your doctor to insert a tiny robot into your body if it meant curing you of one or more of your illnesses? That’s the promise of a newly-developed nanobot made by a group of researchers led by Metin Sitti, the head of the physical intelligence department at the Max Planck […]

(Natural News) Scientists and researchers from the University of Cambridge have revealed that they are currently developing nanotechnology that can “navigate” a patient’s body and help fight cancer. But this effort, while laudable, raises one question: is it feasible to develop this technology instead of merely promoting lifestyle changes that can also prevent cancer? Technology advances by […]

(Natural News) Nanotechnology has a multitude of environmental uses, and researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara have discovered another one. They found that sulfurized nano-zero-valent iron (FeSSi) could be used to remove cadmium toxicity from freshwater. According to ScienceDaily.com, the researchers came to this conclusion after simulating a rain event that washed toxic […]

(Natural News) As of Aug. 14, 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) put into effect a working guidance for the eighth section of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) about the Nanotechnology Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Rule. According to Nanowerk.com, this rule necessitates manufacturers and importers to provide a one-time reporting and record-keeping of certain chemicals. […]

(Natural News) Penn State researchers have developed a new compound, called ceramide nanoliposome, that has the potential to replace radiation and chemotherapy in the future. This new drug is able to smart kill tumors, meaning it targets and destroys cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. In 2005, James Adair, professor of materials science and […]

(Natural News) A team of researchers have recently designed “two-faced” spherical microbots called Janus meant to rid water of harmful bacteria and other microorganisms. The spherical particles were made up of magnesium on one face and alternating layers of gold and iron topped by silver nanoparticles on the other. The magnesium face produced hydrogen bubbles upon contact […]

(Natural News) Will humans one day be able to live forever? Google’s Director of Engineering, Ray Kurzweil, thinks it’s a possibility. He says that living in a fleshly shell for eternity could become a reality as soon as 2029, when scientists are set to unveil special “nano-bots” that will supposedly be able to navigate throughout […]
