Though crude by modern standards, mediaeval European medicine - rooted in remedies and religious practice - laid the foundations for many of the approaches to diagnosis and patient care that continue to influence modern medicine to this day. 

The mother of all healing. The science of life. The oldest healing science.[1] All these statements allude to the same concept. A concept which to many is unknown, but to some is more significant than modern day medicine. This concept is known as Ayurveda. Originating more than 5000 years ago from India [1], Ayurveda literally means the ‘science of life’ in Sanskrit. But what does it do, you may ask?

Over 2 millennia ago, Ancient Greece was one the most prominent civilisations in the world. From influencing the architecture of famous buildings inventing the core elements of theatre which are still present today, its impact on modern-day life and work remains ubiquitous, and the sector of engineering is no stranger to such.

Modern medicine has a lot to thank the Ancient Greeks for: from ideas of “do no harm” to learning through observation, a lot of the medical concepts that are in practice today were thought up by the Greeks.

Modern medicine has incredible attributes, whether that be life-saving transplants of vital organs, to simple over-the-counter drugs like Paracetamol to help relieve the symptoms of the common cold.

When it comes to mathematics, perhaps no pre-modern culture has influenced the development of the subject more than that of the Islamic world.

Fusion energy provides a source to create vast amounts of electricity without the long lasting waste formed by coal, oil and fission making it cleaner for the environment, as long as we can make it work.

Imagine being able to grow organs from your very own tissue. In labs around the world scientists are doing such by creating miniature, three-dimensional cultures!

Wind energy has long been one of the most widely used forms of renewable energy and wind turbines. But have you ever thought of why they are designed the way they are?

Beneath our feet, tectonic plates are constantly on the move—shaping mountains, triggering earthquakes, and even causing devastating tsunamis. But the story of how we came to understand them is just as fascinating, thanks to pioneers like Alfred Wegener and Marie Tharp, whose groundbreaking work revealed the restless Earth. Explore how plate tectonics continues to define our world today.

Engineering and sustainability may seem worlds apart, but in reality, they intersect in powerful ways that shape our future. From civil engineers designing flood-resistant cities to mechanical engineers innovating renewable energy storage, and even creative solutions like smog vacuum towers or sustainable concrete, the possibilities are endless. Discover how tomorrow’s engineers are reimagining technology to save the planet.

Hydrogen cars are often hailed as the clean, futuristic solution to climate change—but the reality is far murkier. From carbon-intensive production methods and sky-high costs to dangerous storage risks and a lack of infrastructure, the “green” label quickly unravels. So, are hydrogen cars truly the future of driving—or just a shiny distraction?
