The learning drill
Today’s powerful drills penetrate most concrete walls like a knife through butter. But not all concrete is the same: Depending on the application, different grades are used and they exhibit great differences - also in strength. A garden path made of exposed aggregate concrete is not in the... view more (2002-09-09)

Most patients can be treated safely at home for deep vein thrombosis
New, effective therapies for acute deep vein thrombosis mean that most patients do not need to be admitted to hospital, according to a study in this week's BMJ. These results challenge the traditional notion that these patients must be treated in hospital and adds to the evidence that home... view more (2001-05-16)

Researchers link Ice Age climate-change records to ocean salinity

Ice Age North Atlantic temperatures, tropical oceans linked
Sudden shifts in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last ice age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean, according to research published Oct. 5 in the journal Nature.   view more (2006-10-05)

Has the mystery of the Antarctic ice sheet been solved?
A team of scientists from Cardiff University's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences and Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales travelled to Africa to find new evidence of climate change which helps explain some of the mystery surrounding the appearance of the Antarctic ice sheet.   view more (2008-02-28)

Meteorite Crater Drilling Provides Extensive Samples - and a Mystery
Drillings made in the Bosumtwi crater in Ghana, one of the youngest meteorite craters in the world, led to yet another mysterious finding - the rock formation caused by the heat of the meteoric impact is only half as thick as expected. This is the first result from a large international drilling... view more (2004-10-18)
