An international team of scientists led by the University of Southampton has discovered that the breakup of tectonic plates is the main driving force behind the generation and eruption of diamond-rich magmas from deep inside the Earth. Their findings could shape the future of the diamond exploration industry, informing where diamonds are most likely to be found.
Bandages infused with casein, a protein that occurs naturally in cow's milk, significantly improved wound healing in rats compared to those in control groups, according to a new study by UCL researchers. The study, published today in Interface , is the first to test casein's reputed healing benefits on an animal model.
Diamond domino effect explains eruption spot secrets
The breakup of tectonic plates is the main driving force behind the generation and eruption of diamond-rich magmas from deep inside the Earth, a new study has found. Diamonds, which form under great pressures at depth, are hundreds of millions, or even billions, of years old. They are typically found in a type of volcanic rock known as kimberlite.

More than half of patients with auto-immune conditions experience mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety, yet the majority are rarely or never asked in clinic about mental health symptoms, according to new research from the University of Cambridge and King's College London.
Lights could be the future of the internet and data transmission
Fast data transmission could be delivered in homes and offices through light emitting diode (LED) bulbs, complementing existing communication technologies and networks. New internet technologies are being rapidly refined, and LED-based communication links are expected to be used in services and scenarios including Light-fidelity (Li-Fi), underwater communications, moderateto high-speed photonic connections and various -Internet of Things- (IoT) devices.

New method of recycling coloured plastics offers possible solution to ’huge environmental challenge’, scientists claim
A new method for recycling coloured plastics has been developed by scientists at Cardiff University. The process, which breaks down coloured polymers, the principal component of plastics, into their original components, could lead to a circular plastic recycling economy reducing pollution on land and in our oceans, the researchers claim.

A potent anti-cancer therapy has been created using Nobel prize-winning "click chemistry", where molecules click together like LEGO bricks, in a new study by UCL and Stanford researchers. The study, published in Nature Chemistry , opens up new possibilities for how cutting-edge cancer immunotherapies might be built in future.
Sargassum seaweed - which wreaks annual havoc on coastal communities across the tropical Atlantic - is predicted to creep further north and into Europe in the coming decades. New research, led by the University of Southampton, has also concluded that sargassum is not the carbon sink it was initially hailed as.
Scientists from Cardiff University have discovered a superior form of killer T-cell in patients who have successfully cleared end stage solid cancer. Published today in the journal Cell , the researchers discovered that dominant, successful killer T-cells were capable of recognising multiple different cancer-associated targets at the same time.
Old stars roaming through new star-forming regions could be responsible for a radioactive heat source thought to be important for young planets. The discovery of an older star travelling through a star-forming region shows how these kinds of stars could provide essential radioactive elements to developing solar systems.
Fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus has acquired resistance to agricultural fungicide and first-line clinical antifungal drugs. Aspergillus fumigatus is a fungus which plays a key role in the break down of plant and soil organic matter. But exposure to this mould can cause a chronic and acute life-threatening disease in humans, called aspergillosis.

Hundreds of proteins and mRNA molecules are found in the wrong place in nerve cells affected by Motor Neuron Disease (MND), finds a new study by researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute. The condition, also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is a rapidly progressing and devastating condition that causes paralysis by affecting motor neurons, with limited treatment options.
Scientists caught Hofstadter’s butterfly in one of the most ancient materials on Earth
Researchers in the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester have revisited one of the most ancient materials on Earth - graphite, and discovered new physics that has eluded the field for decades. Despite being made entirely of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb pattern, natural graphite is not as simple as one may think.

Could mink farms be the source of the next flu pandemic?
Urgent action is needed to address the significant risk posed by fur farms for the emergence of future viral pandemics, Imperial scientists warn. Mink fur farms could provide the optimum conditions for H5N1 influenza to mutate and make the jump to humans, potentially leading to the next global pandemic, warn scientists from Imperial College London.

Two-faced star exposed in first for astronomy
An unusual white dwarf star is made of hydrogen on one side and helium on the other. In a first for white dwarfs, the burnt-our cores of dead stars, astronomers from institutions including the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the University of Warwick have discovered that at least one member of this cosmic family is two faced.

For the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope has observed the chemical signature of carbon-rich dust grains in the early universe. Similar observational signatures have been observed in the much more recent universe, and have been attributed to complex, carbon-based molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
Oxygen ’holes’ could hold the key to higher performing EV batteries
Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding and overcoming the challenges associated with nickel-rich materials used in lithium-ion batteries. This will enhance the stability and longevity of these lithium-ion batteries, paving the way for more efficient and reliable energy storage systems Annalena Genreith-Schriever Nickel is already used in lithium-ion batteries, but increasing the proportion of nickel could significantly improve battery energy density, making them especially suitable for electric vehicles and grid-scale storage.

Thousands of pregnancies tracked in UK’s biggest study on pre-eclampsia
Up to 3,500 first time mums are due to take part in a study led by Cambridge researchers to understand why some will develop pre-eclampsia and placental complications during pregnancy and whether it effects their long-term health.

Play ’spot the difference’ to help scientists identify cosmic explosions
Members of the public are invited to take part in a brand new citizen science project to identify cosmic explosions in real-time. -Kilonova Seekers- aims to find kilonovae - the cosmic explosions of neutron stars and black holes colliding in distant galaxies. Volunteers will be asked to play -spot the difference- using data from the two Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer ( GOTO ) telescopes.
