By John Vibes For a long time, scientists have known that certain types of fungi are attracted to radiation, and can actually help to break down and neutralize radiation in certain environments. The radioactive site of the abandoned Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant has acted as…
By Elias Marat A team of scientists in France have managed to grow a “human textile” from human skin cells, creating yarn based on human flesh that can be used to close wounds or knitted, crocheted, and weaved into unique patterns for implantable skin grafts….
By John Vibes Roughly two million people around the world are being treated for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which has led to an urgent shortage of kidneys for transplant. In 2016, there were only 21,000 donor kidneys available for transplant in the US, but a…
By Elias Marat Are you tired of puffing on flower? Can’t quite afford to lay down the cash for a dabbing rig? Uninterested in the usual edibles? Well, Italian scientists have discovered a previously unknown cannabis compound that has been shown in lab tests to…
Researchers at The University of Tokyo have used computational methods and analysis of recent experimental data to demonstrate that water molecules take two distinct structures in the liquid state. The team investigated the scattering of X-ray photons through water samples and showed a bimodal distribution…
By Mayukh Saha As the new decade begins, scientists have been frantically trying to construct batteries made of diamond. The batteries would have the recycled energy of nuclear waste. These batteries would work for at least an entire millennium. Researchers at Bristol University have already…
Since the Industrial Revolution, the environmental impacts of energy have posed a concern. Recently, this has driven researchers to search for viable options for clean and renewable energy sources. Due to its affordability and environmental friendliness, hydrogen is a feasible alternative to fossil fuels for…
By Tyler Durden Every once in a while, medical researchers simply have a stroke of good luck. In this case, that “stroke of good luck” could have a profound effect on the medial community. Researchers at Cardiff University who were in the midst of analyzing blood…
We all know the rechargeable and efficient lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries sitting in our smartphones, laptops and also in electric cars. Unfortunately, lithium is a limited resource, so it will be a challenge to satisfy the world’s growing demand for relatively cheap batteries. Therefore, researchers…
By Alanna Ketler The Facts: The more we complain, the more we wire our brain to focus on the negative aspects of our lives. Luckily this is a two-way street, and we can undo the damage and begin to step into a more positive mindset…
By Tyler Durden China is the world’s top producer and consumer of pork. So when 50% of its pig herd was wiped out in 2019 from African Swine Fever (ASF), it caused pork prices in the back half of the year to hyperinflate. The immediate…
By Elias Marat A research team at the University of Central Florida has successfully used artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a special liquid called “perovskite” which they hope can eventually be used to create spray-on solar cells. The new development, dubbed “perovskite solar cells” (PSCs),…
By Alanna Ketler The Facts: Numerous studies show the scientific benefits of reading. These benefits tend to increase when reading from actual books rather than screens. Reflect On: Do screens consume the majority of your time? When was the last time you read a book?…
By Michael Snyder Something is causing the waters just off the West Coast to heat up dramatically, fish are dying off in staggering numbers, birds that feed on those fish are also dying off rapidly, and scientists have discovered 15,000 holes in the ocean floor…
By Manuel García Aguilar Scientists have tried for a long time to recreate human abilities artificially, such as in the case of artificial intelligence—AI—which has recently taken big steps by using hardware for deep learning and neural networks to imitate the synapse process in the…
By Timcast Natural Blaze Editor’s Note: An old “conspiracy theory” about chemicals in food and water having the ability to affect one’s hormones is gaining much more evidence to back it up. Tim Pool covers a recently updated article that adds more information about the…
By Mayukh Saha Breaking bones isn’t a very good thing, is it? But you know what’s worse? Having a plaster cast that feels like bricks on your hand. You can’t move, you can’t breathe properly; the pores in your hand do not get air. And…
By Manuel García Aguilar One of the biggest challenges modern medicine has had to face is finding successful cancer treatments. And recently, treatment advances across the spectrum of cancers have continued at a rapid pace. Lung cancer experienced significant treatment breakthroughs in 2018, primarily in…
By Amanda Froelich Scientists are puzzled by a recent discovery in Siberia. An 18,000-year-old puppy, believed to be just two months old when it died, was found in permafrost in the vicinity of the Indigirka River in Siberia, northeast of Yakutsk. According to The Siberian…
By Jess Murray She is also among the 12 deserving candidates invited to the International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. She will represent her country, the Philippines, in perhaps the largest competitions for pre-college students in the field of scientific research. She…
