Dead star's double debris ring offers a preview of the Solar System's end

New Capabilities

Home institution of co-author Felipe Lagos-Vilches

The white dwarf J1328−1450 sits about 1,600 light years away, the burnt-out core of a star like the Sun. Two rings of glowing gas circle it, separated by an empty gap.

Astronomers find the first genuinely green star

New Capabilities

Led the research

Astronomers at the University of Warwick have identified the first star ever credibly reported as green: WD J1330+6435, a white dwarf their models place at about 4,000°C that would glow chartreuse to the human eye.

Researchers find hidden in-between materials that could improve batteries and solar fuels

New Capabilities

As of October 2026: Lead institution for the study; designed the precursor molecules and ran the characterization

Chemists at the University of Warwick and the University of Birmingham found that materials which briefly form during heating can have useful properties of their own. The team captured a new form of bismuth vanadate, a compound studied for solar hydrogen production, with a different atomic structure and a larger band gap than any known version.

Mathematicians prove graph sandwich conjecture after two decades

New Capabilities

As of September 2026: Where the proof was completed

In 2004, two mathematicians hypothesized a way to "sandwich" a hard-to-analyze random graph between two simpler ones. Twenty-two years later, three researchers at the University of Warwick proved it.
