Under pressure: Foundations of stellar physics and nuclear fusion investigated
Research using the world’s most energetic laser has shed light on the properties of highly compressed matter – essential to understanding the structure of giant planets and stars, and to develop controlled nuclear fusion, a process that could harvest carbon-free energy.
Unseen newborn planets are stirring up dust around a young star
The young star TW Hydrae is playing "shadow puppets" with scientists observing it with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
Meet the Warwick students creating a satellite to take worms into space
Six talented Warwick students are showcasing their very own satellite, set to provide carefully controlled conditions for scientist to measure how worms function and reproduce in zero gravity – as a precursor to a future deep space mission.
Clearing the skies for Santa this Christmas: The researchers tackling junk in space
As scores of children prepare to look to the skies this Christmas Eve, they will be relieved to know scientists are helping to clear a path for Santa in space.
New research into atmospheric make-up of distant planet sheds light on its origins
New observations from the JWST show a molecular and chemical portrait of a distant planet, mapping its formation history.
Oldest planetary debris in our galaxy found from new study
Astronomers led by the University of Warwick have identified the oldest star in our galaxy that is accreting debris from orbiting planetesimals, making it one of the oldest rocky and icy planetary systems discovered in the Milky Way.
