Think about this: what if you could turn sunlight and simple sugars into clean energy and useful chemicals? Pretty cool, right? Scientists have been working on this idea, but it's been tough. The biggest hurdles are low efficiency in producing hydrogen and poor selectivity in creating useful chemica
Let's dive into how nuclear medicine affects our bodies. Yes, it sounds strange, but the truth is, they use special materials to look inside the body. In this new study, scientists took a closer look at how radiation affects children and adults differently. If you didn't k
Have you ever wondered what happens during the upgrade of biomass? One path involves converting furfural found in plants into useful stuff. Its process is really tricky to observe because some steps evaporate faster than a sorcerer's spell. So, scientists needed to invent a new trick to see these ra

Birds like the pine siskin have a unique behavior called spring nomadism. This is different from the usual, predictable seasonal movements of other birds. These birds are facultative migrants, they do not move in a set pattern. They go nomadic in the spring. Scientists have long been curious about w
Being close to nature and engaging in traditional and spiritual activities is really important for young Indigenous people. These activities boost their overall health and well-being, keeping their cultural heritage alive and kicking. Sadly, historical policies and modern challenge
Think of rats. You might not consider them when thinking of a complicated diet. But did you know that these little creatures can help us learn a lot about how our bodies change when we eat poorly? By eating a high-fat diet, rats can become obese. This is not that surprising, since it is kn
Have you ever heard about a tradition where women and girls are sent away from their homes during their monthly periods? This is not a myth, but a reality in some parts of Nepal. This practice, known as Chhaupadi, is prevalent in the Western region of Nepal. Imagine being forced to live in
Young athletes are often eager to excel in their sports. There are different ways to train them to achieve this goal. First, let's talk about two different training methods. One is Integrative Neuromuscular Training (INT). The other is the Traditional Physical Training (PT). Integ
