Loan sharks: New data reveal they are often work colleagues or "friends"
Malai Gambrill doesn't sound like your typical loan shark. She was a woman in her early 50s working in a hospital in Gillingham, not far from London. She lent £3,000 to a colleague and supposed friend on the agreement that they would pay it back mon.....»»
Physicists make new predictions about the collision of heavy ions at very high relativistic energies
When two heavy ions collide at very high relativistic energies, they penetrate one another, during which they become excited and are slowed down. This "stopping" process can be generated experimentally, as demonstrated on the Large Hadron Collider (L.....»»
How a Swiss hospital turned an underground ‘bunker’ into a day-lit jungle
