The idea of time travel makes great science fiction, but can it really be done?

In 1985 an experiment, designed to unravel the carbon chemistry in Red Giant Stars…

Radioastronomical observations of our galaxy have revealed hordes of molecules in the interstellar medium. Extremely fast reactions result in the high abundance of complex organic compounds in the space between the stars.

The concept of creativity from the point of view of how original ideas develop is explored with the aid of recent advances in computer modelling programming strategies.

We can now expect to live longer than ever before, and if we get ill, we expect to be made better! However new threats continue to emerge.

The controlled ways that electricity and magnetism can stimulate the body are demonstrated and how the resulting responses can aid diagnosis discussed.
