(Natural News) Having an addictive personality might seem like a bad thing, but you can turn it around to your benefit. For example, an addictive personality can teach you how to be more mindful and resilient. A person with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mania, or obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCD) may be familiar with the symptoms of an […]

(Natural News) Imagine a crab with a lobster’s carapace, a shrimp’s mouth, and bulging eyes, plus the ability to swim. This stuff of seafood dreams and Lovecraftian nightmares is called the chimera crab, and it prowled the seas of the ancient Earth. Its discoverers dubbed it Callichimaera perplexa, “perplexing beautiful chimera” in Latin. The name came from […]

(Natural News) Early shamans who lived a thousand years ago used cocaine and other mind-altering substances for their rituals, according to a recent study. In their report, researchers have uncovered evidence that suggests that Native American mystics took the drug, as well as several plant-based psychotropics, to alter their consciousness. This comes after a recent investigation of the dry […]

(Natural News) Caffeine helps boost the energy levels and mood of coffee drinkers. But did you know that it could also improve the performance of a new generation of solar panels? Researchers reported that coffee’s primary stimulant increased the efficiency of perovskite photovoltaic cells, an alternative approach to solar power. When bolstered by caffeine, perovskite […]

(Natural News) A team of scientists from Ohio were so intrigued with the potential of human feces; they tried really hard to craft it into functioning blades. The scientists, from the Department of Anthropology, Kent State University and the Department of Archaeology, Cleveland Museum of Natural History hypothesized that they could make a functional knife […]

(Natural News) Rocks might not strike you as a potential source of clean and renewable energy, much less a substitute for solar panels. But Chinese researchers found that some stones sport metallic coats that naturally convert sunlight into electricity via the same process as photosynthetic organisms. The coating contains iron and manganese, two minerals used […]

(Natural News) American researchers made a startling discovery through NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope suggesting that the universe is expanding at a rate faster than previously thought. This new evidence, published in The Astrophysical Journal, suggests that scientists may have to reconsider what they know about the cosmos and develop new physics to better understand it. The researchers […]

(Natural News) A team of scientists from Princeton University have developed a new code that gives artificial intelligence the capability of developing virtually limitless nuclear fusion energy. The new code, the Fusion Recurrent Neural Network (FRNN), applies deep learning to a pair of comprehensive databases at the world’s largest nuclear energy facilities. These facilities contain […]

(Natural News) The trail of slime left by slugs in the garden might eventually help patch up wounds. Researchers found that the “mucus” produced by a prevalent species of European slug possessed potential as a natural glue to close wounds, prevent infection, and reduce the risk of scars in humans. The slug species in question […]

(Natural News) Bacteria and viruses are not the only tiny hitchhikers during outer space that might endanger the health of astronauts. Recently, Belgian researchers brought up concerns about microscopic fungi living aboard space stations and spacecraft, especially the upcoming missions to the moon and Mars. Experts know very little about the potential pathogenic properties of […]
