Dentristry

Advances in dental technology have dramatically improved oral health. Where once complete extraction was the only solution for widespread tooth decay, now dental patients are far more likely to retain most, if not all, of their own teeth.

Mental Health and Talking Therapies

Attitudes to mental disorders changed radically through the 19th century as more was discovered about their physical and psychological causes. Neurology and psychiatry were established as branches of medical science, and psychological treatments began to emerge.

The Structure of DNA

One of science's greatest discoveries occurred in Cambridge, England, in 1953, when Francis Crick and James Watson proposed a 'double-helix' structure for the genetic substance DNA.

The Pharmaceutical Industry

The roots of the pharmaceutical industry can be traced as far back as the medieval period, to small apothecaries offering traditional remedies. Today, the industry has become a global phenomenon, a multi-billion dollar enterprise that produces thousands of new drugs and has revolutionized human health.

War and Medicine

During World War I (1914 -18), medicine made progress on several fronts. But it struggled to keep pace with the harm caused by new armaments and weaponry, in particular the dreadful and indiscriminate toll of gas, chemical, and germ warfare.

Robots and Telemedicine

Technological advances at the end of the 20th century allowed surgeons to use robots for basic surgical procedures. Physicians also benefited from telemedicine, which involves carrying out a range of consultative procedures using telephones, videoconferences, and the Internet without the need for the patient to be in the same room, or even country.

Greek Painting and Mosaics

Like the Minoans, the ancient Greeks highly valued painting. Early Greek art was flat-looking, mainly featuring symbols and patterns. Later, artists sought to create art that was more lifelike and in beautifully balanced proportions.

Ancient Asian Art

Across the vast continent of Asia, art was influenced by a wide range of religious beliefs and mythical traditions. These ideas were expressed by local artists in various styles, depicting their stories and myths.

Icons of the Church

Icons were made mainly in Christian areas, including Rome, Greece, Turkey, Sicily, and Russia. The names of the artists who created them are usually unknown.

Scenes of Everyday Life

Dutch Golden Age artists used many of the same techniques as Baroque artists to create dramatic effects. However, while Baroque paintings were dramatic and grand, Dutch painters chose to portray scenes of everyday life, known as genre painting.

Painting Emotions

Expressionism is an artistic style that started in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. This movement included artists who showed strong emotions in their paintings, often using distorted shapes.

Brass Instruments

Musicologists (people who study music) classify instruments by how they are played, rather than what they are made of. If the sound is made by the player vibrating, or buzzing, their lips against the mouthpiece, then it is a brass instrument.
