Plants starved for energy found to resort to “self-cannibalism” by breaking down and consuming cells from their own leaves for survival

Plants will do just about anything to survive, and according to researchers at Tohoku University, that includes turning to autophagy – or destroying its own cells – and getting much-needed amino acids to survive energy-starved “hunger” conditions. The results of the study, published in Plant & Cell Physiology, also looked at how autophagy can be manipulated to […]

PROOF that liberals despise real science: EPA’s Scott Pruitt attacked for daring to require full transparency of scientific evidence behind EPA regulations

The so-called “Party of Science” is livid about new plans by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Scott Pruitt to make the agency’s scientific regulatory process more transparent. Leftist “environmentalists” say that revamping the EPA’s rule-making procedures to be more open and honest in the public interest will be to burdensome to the EPA, which […]

Liberals freak out as EPA plans to bring full transparency to the science behind its regulatory decisions

It’s been quite a long while since the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has had to procure actual scientific evidence to back its regulatory decision-making process. But things are changing under the leadership of Scott Pruitt, an appointee of President Donald Trump, and the entrenched liberal mafia that has long controlled the narrative of “environmental […]

Reusing CO2: Scientists are closer to converting it to clean energy

Nature emits carbon dioxide (CO2) as part of many different natural processes. Plants are known to take them in as a necessary ingredient in photosynthesis, and it benefits the Earth in a lot of different ways, such as accelerating plant growth and food production. Although the planet’s CO2 levels are currently near record lows throughout […]

Study of microbes found in cow stomachs could lead to energy extraction breakthrough, aiding in production of biofuels

To develop new techniques in maximizing food and fuel production in the modern age, researchers from The University in Edinburgh in the United Kingdom are turning to an unlikely source for answers: The living bacteria inside the guts of bovine animals. A new study claims that microbes may be the solution to figuring out how […]

Researchers have recycled clothing waste into an “aerogel” supermaterial that can help stop wound bleeding

Cotton-based fabric waste has a multitude of uses that range from being recycled into polishing and wiper clothes to automotive insulation. Though, as researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered and demonstrated, this type of waste could be turned into cotton aerogels that have their own practical applications. The cotton aerogels, which […]

Teachers, take it outside: Study shows student motivation and participation improves outdoors

Conducting science classes outdoors rather than within the four corners of a classroom can make the students more motivated to learn and participate, a study has discovered. The study was carried out by a team of researchers from Norway and Germany who looked at the effect of outdoor class setting on the motivational behavior of […]

Wild rice is the “canary in the coal mine” for lakes and streams – Researchers use it to track water quality

Determining the health of a lake or a stream could be done by looking for the presence of wild rice. According to a team of researchers from the University of Minnesota, wild rice is to these bodies of water as a canary is to a coal mine. Their sensitivity to their surroundings is an indicator of […]

Remember when geoengineering was labeled a “conspiracy theory?” … Now it’s routinely cited in science papers as a strategy for saving the climate

When Natural News first started talking about geoengineering several years back, some people accused us of spreading baseless “conspiracy theories.” Fast-forward to 2018, however, and discussion of “chemtrails,” as many people call them, has become mainstream, as studies like this one not only openly admit that the spraying of our skies is, indeed, happening, but […]

Health Ranger lab analysis exposes 700+ chemicals in Tide laundry pods… many are extremely TOXIC to human health and aquatic life

Over the last few months, I’ve promised that we would be testing off-the-shelf products in our lab, revealing their chemical constituents to the public. Today, in conjunction with the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (which conducted the research) and Science.news (which exclusively published the first findings), we are releasing these scientific results to the public. “Tide […]
