在这个程序中研究科学家探索一个谜困扰了男人的年龄——生命过程本身。获得知识有一天会回答这样的问题,“植物如何做食物吗?”和“控制癌症的扩散?“科学家在美国原子能委员会的阿贡国家实验室正在尝试最简单形式的植物和动物的生活。大道之一的研究集中在藻类的研究,单细胞的绿色植物常见池死水。藻类被挑出,因为像男人,他们基本上是化学工厂,只有更简单的结构。科学家解释说,在这个程序中,如何成功地种植藻类在纯“重”水,一种罕见的水有氢原子重两倍正常的氢原子。从一个独特的“海藻农场”科学家们收获这些微小的植物。作物给他们化学物质,重氢代替普通氢原子。其他更大的植物被种植成功的混合物重水和普通水,和这些也有价值的化学工厂。科学家发现,生物生长在重水以较慢的速度增长,比生物生长在普通水有不同的营养需求。从这些发现,研究科学家正在探索重水的可能性可能会导致衰老过程放缓。 Scientist has experimented also with mice to determine what effect heavy water has on animals. Already, they have succeeded in replacing about 30 percent of the normal water in mice with heavy water. Scientists have found that heavy water retards the growth of mice and that tissue which normally grows the fastest appeared to be the most retarded in growth. This latter finding may someday have a bearing on understanding cancer in humans and may lead to a breakthrough in its treatment.Other startling biological effects also have been demonstrated in organisms which have been given doses of “heavy” carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. In these experiments, scientists were able to alter the growth of the organisms. These alterations may hold further clues to the life process.
