(Natural News) It may sound like something you only see in science fiction, but experts say we may be just a few years away from “talking lasers” that have the power to beam messages right into our heads. A military initiative known as the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate is working on laser weapons that are […]

(Natural News) A strange, dimming star may not be alone after a scientist discovered more stars that are possibly displaying unusual light fluctuations. Some of the stars are dimming rapidly while some are dimming at slower rates, which is similar to Boyajian’s star — a star that dips in brightness for days or weeks at a […]

(Natural News) New research is warning that the aerosol transmission of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is being underestimated, possibly affecting guidelines on social distancing, ventilation and shared spaces. Using a newly developed mathematical model of coronavirus droplet migration, researchers at the Heriot-Watt University and the University of Edinburgh have found that small, virus-laden aerosol particles are traveling further […]

(Natural News) The Earth is protected from solar wind — a stream of charged particles from the sun — by its geomagnetic field. But this protective barrier is weak in certain areas, particularly south of the Atlantic Ocean. Called the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), this area makes it easier for solar wind and other cosmic rays […]

(Natural News) If you don’t think masks work, then you must not think air filters work, either, in your home HVAC system. Remove the filters and see how that goes. Today, we’re seeing an irrational, emotionally-infused rejection of masks by conservatives that, in every way, resembles the irrational fear of guns by liberals. To liberals, […]

(Natural News) As part of a study on new polymers, researchers have successfully developed a novel self-healing material — a feat considered to be a major breakthrough in the field of materials synthesis. The material, a polymer with incredible stretching, vibration suppression and self-healing properties, was developed by a team of scientists from Oak Ridge National […]

(Natural News) For most of us, a trip to the beach would normally involve lounging around on the sand and wading in the cool waters. For marine biologist Jeremiah Sullivan, a trip to the beach involves something far more extreme: thrusting his arm inside a shark’s gaping, teeth-lined mouth. Sullivan rose to prominence in the […]

(Natural News) One of the more interesting things about the planet Jupiter is that it also has an aurora, just like the ones here on Earth. For a long time, scientists have wondered about the origin of Jupiter’s aurora, which is said to be the brightest in the solar system. Now, a recent study has found just […]

(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) 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 […]
