Plant‑derived hydrogels are gaining attention for repairing tough body parts like bone, cartilage, tendon and ligament. These tissues must support weight and movement, so any new material has to be strong and stable over time. Traditional grafts—either taken from the patient or made synthetically—of
Plants grow by mixing their own genes with outside signals, like how much food they can find. One key food is iron, which helps cells breathe and make energy from light. Scientists have long known that plants keep iron levels in check, but they were unsure how iron tells a plant when to stop growing
Plants use their roots in clever ways to grab food from the soil. Scientists looked at two types of roots: lower‑order roots that mainly suck up nutrients and higher‑order roots that move water and minerals deeper into the plant. They studied 37 grass species in a temperate steppe, measuring the roo

Plans for a flashy riverfront resort in Tuscaloosa are finally taking shape. Developers broke ground this month on a $150 million complex that promises a sports-heavy experience just a short walk from the University of Alabama. The project isn’t just another hotel—it’s a full mini-neighborhood with
Plans in Washington D. C. , Maryland or northern Virginia this weekend might hit a few bumps, literally. Weather won’t pick sides—sun and clouds, warm air and sudden chills, dry spells and brief downpours will take turns. The main players are two systems: a warm front drifting up from the south on S
Plant-based eating seems like a modern trend, but Linda McCartney was pushing this idea decades ago. Back in the 80s and 90s, finding plant-based ingredients wasn’t as easy as it is today. Now, stores carry more options, and farmers’ markets make fresh, seasonal eating simpler. Nuts and seeds are gr
Plans to transform the area near Neyland Stadium in Tennessee are moving ahead, but football fans who depend on parking at the G10 garage might face a tough year in 2026. The University of Tennessee is pushing forward with a $280 million project to create a mix of shops, eateries, and a condo-hotel
