(Natural News) In case you haven’t noticed, articles about extraterrestrial intelligence have been appearing with increasing frequency across the mainstream media and scientific establishment. It’s no longer “fringe” to talk about intelligent, non-Earth civilizations, and the really forward looking scientific thinkers are finally starting to ask questions about what may await us after disclosure is […]

(Natural News) A common species of bacteria demonstrated the ability to assume a “zombie” state when faced with inhospitable conditions. This survival strategy might explain why other microorganisms still reappear despite seemingly getting eradicated by antibiotics, starvation, or other factors. Formally called “oligotrophic growth,” the state differs from normal dormancy. The bacteria remain active, but […]

(Natural News) Swedish researchers talk about the potential of using fungi to convert food waste into valuable products. In addition to the usual biofuels, animal feed, and textiles produced from waste food, they want to turn the fungi into a protein-rich source of food for humans. Human civilization continues to churn out increasing amounts of waste products like […]

(Natural News) Is your cellphone turning you into the devil? Scientists have recently discovered that something — possibly excessive cellphone use — is causing people to grow “bony spikes” along the back of their skulls. If you needed anymore confirmation that the modern world is going to hell in a handbasket, now humans will actually […]

(Natural News) Remember when British Petroleum (BP), Halliburton, and ConocoPhillips indiscriminately dumped tens of thousands of gallons of Corexit into the Gulf of Mexico to supposedly remedy the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil disaster? Well according to experts, this nasty chemical concoction is still floating around in that giant “bathtub,” and is actually now eating away […]

(Natural News) It’s a cool party trick, a staple at science fairs and is commonly demonstrated on the Internet: If you slice a grape almost in half and then put it in the microwave on full power, you can create a pyrotechnic spectacle as the area where the two halves of the grape meets bursts […]

(Natural News) Want to be invisible? It might not be as impossible as it sounds. A new study finds that hiding in plain sight is easy — all you need is a simple disguise. Research from the universities of Huddersfield and York  shows that with a few simple tricks, you can even become unidentifiable to […]

(Natural News) Every time it gets hit by solar wind and other cosmic impulses, the magnetic field of Earth ripples until the waves arrive at the magnetic poles, which shunts the force back into space. Researchers liken this effect to a percussion drum being played. The theory about the Earth’s magnetopause – the outer border […]
