Galaxy evolution can be chaotic and messy, but it seems that streams of cold gas spraying out from the region around supermassive black holes may act to calm the storm. This is according to an international team of scientists who have provided the first clear and compelling evidence of this process in action. Using the…
Nanotubes Offer Better Way to Deliver Anti-Cancer Drugs
A new non-toxic method for delivering anti-cancer drugs to specific parts of the human body could mean the end of the severe and nasty side effects associated with many cancer therapies, according to researchers at Cardiff University’s School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. The method involves the use of a new type of a nanotube…
Unravelling the Mystery of Ice Ages Using Ancient Molecules
Researchers from Cardiff University have revealed how sea ice has been contributing to the waxing and waning of ice sheets over the last million years. In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, the team have shown for the first time that ice ages, occurring every 100,000 years, are accompanied by a rapid…
