"Imminent Celestial Explosion to Create Spectacular 'New' Star Visible from Earth"

Astronomers at Nottingham Trent University predict that Earth is about to witness a 'once-in-a-lifetime' space explosion caused by two stars in the T Coronae Borealis system, which will be visible to the naked eye for days. This celestial event, known as a nova, occurs approximately every 80 years and is expected to increase the system's brightness from 11mag to 2mag, making it easily visible even in light-polluted skies. The event is anticipated to happen between now and September, offering a rare opportunity for stargazers to observe the brightening in the Corona Borealis constellation.

"UK Scientists Develop Bra-Fitted Device for Monitoring Breast Cancer Tumors"

Scientists at Nottingham Trent University are developing a monitoring device that can be fitted inside a bra to detect breast cancer tumour growth in real time using electrical currents, potentially providing a non-invasive method for patients to monitor their condition at home. The device aims to measure changes in breast tissue and improve early detection, with the possibility of being incorporated into a new bra design. While the technology is not yet tested on people, researchers hope to move it to clinical trials in the next few years, offering a promising alternative for monitoring tumours and potentially conserving hospital resources.
