Mechanism by which exercise strengthens bones and immunity
Scientists have identified the specialized environment, known as a niche, in the bone marrow where new bone and immune cells are produced. The study also shows that movement-induced stimulation is required for the maintenance of this niche, as well a.....»»
Study reveals generation mechanism of radiative effects on novel active optical hyperspectral LiDAR system

Understanding how the "heart" of the plant works may lead to protection from pathogens
Plants, like humans, need to move sugar and other nutrients around their bodies to power their growth. But unlike humans, they do not have a heart to pump these vital nutrients. Instead, they use an amazing molecular pump mechanism that scientists ha.....»»
Chemists unravel reaction mechanism for clean energy catalyst
Hydrogen, the simplest element on Earth, is a clean fuel that could revolutionize the energy industry. Accessing hydrogen, however, is not a simple or clean process at all. Pure hydrogen is extremely rare in nature, and practical methods to produce i.....»»
