The majority of stars in the universe will become luminous enough to blast surrounding asteroids into successively smaller fragments using their light alone, according to a University of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ astronomer.

A new study from the University of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ and the University of Oxford reveals a breakthrough for sportsmen and women in the treatment of Achilles tendon rupture. Researchers found that early walking in a brace provides similar outcomes to plaster casting with no increase in the risk of complications, paving the way for a big change in the way that patients are treated.

Professor Dieter Wolke of the University of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ's Department of Psychology, and Head of the Lifespan Health and Wellbeing Research group and a collaborator with ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ Medical School, has been named the 2020 British Psychological Society’s winner of the award for Distinguished Contributions to British Developmental Psychology.

University of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ scientists have played a key role in a discovery that brings us closer to the construction of new types of high-power particle accelerators which would operate at particle energies higher than the Large Hadron Collider. For the first time scientists have observed muon ionization cooling – a major step in being able to create the world’s most powerful particle accelerator.
