Narisara Nami/Moment via Getty Images When you’re sick with a fever, your doctor will likely tell you it’s a sign that your immune system is defending you against an infection. Fever typically results from immune cells at infected sites sending chemical signals to the brain to raise the set point of your body’s thermostat. So, you feel chills when the fever starts and feel hot when the fever breaks. However, if you were to ask your doctor exactly how fever protects you, don’t expect a completely satisfactory

Molecules are often separated by their size, shape or other properties. twomeows/Moment via Getty Images Separating molecules is critical to producing many essential products. For example, in petroleum refining, the hydrocarbons – chemical compounds composed of hydrogens and carbons – in crude oil are separated into gasoline, diesel and lubricants by sorting them based on their molecular size, shape and weight. In the pharmaceutical industry, the active ingredients in medications are purified by separating drug molecules from the enzymes, solutions and other components used to make them. These separation processes take a substantial amount of energy, accounting for roughly half
