Researchers at Mainz University have discovered a natural compound that could potentially serve as a long-term alternative to opioids and may help alleviate the opioid crisis. Opioids, recognized for their significant pharmacological effects, have long been used as effective painkillers. Morphine, a notable example first isolated and synthesized in the early 19th century, provides crucial relief for patients in the final stages of severe illness.

The natural world is constantly surprising us, and now new research has suggested that ’fountains of diamonds’ could be sent shooting up to the surface of the Earth as part of a major geological event.Supercontinents breaking up could send them spewing up from deep within the Earth’s core, according to research undertaken by Thomas Gernon, who is a professor of Earth and climate science at the University of Southampton.Diamonds are formed around 150 kilometres below our feet and sent firing upwards by kimberlite eruptions which can travel up to 133 kilometres per hour and create enormous explosions on the surface,...
