Astronomers have discovered the first direct evidence for white dwarf stars solidifying into giant balls of crystallized elements, a process that was first predicted 50 years ago.

Professor Brian Cox OBE has hailed the vital role of universities in communicating science to the general public as he was awarded an honorary degree at the University of Warwick, the host for this year’s British Science Festival.
