An oft overlooked component of the Korean ginseng may, in fact, offer a broad range of health benefits, suggest researchers

University of Adelaide Professor Prash Sanders has carried out the first global trial of a new device to treat patients with abnormal heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation.

New research shows that the next generation of lithium-sulphur (Li||S) batteries may be capable of being charged in less than five minutes, instead of several hours as is currently the case.

As a graduate doctor, Professor Dr Muhammad Aziz Rahman took a job with a company producing cancer drugs. But in disadvantaged communities in Bangladesh, many patients he met simply could not afford the medication.

To have real impact, he resolved to focus on the bigger picture of disease prevention: as a public health specialist.
