Since 1988, a radio signal has been pulsing toward Earth every 22 minutes - like clockwork. But the source? It doesn’t behave ...

The team suggests that if there are small mountains on pulsars, China’s FAST (Five- hundred-meter Aperture Spherical ...

A study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics by a researcher from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese ...

Pulsars, the dense cores of collapsed stars, could potentially have tiny mountains on their surfaces, challenging our current ...

Imagine a star so dense that a teaspoon of its material would weigh as much as Mount Everest, spinning hundreds of times per second while beaming radio waves across the universe. These are pulsars, ...

November 26, 2024, Mountain View, CA – Dr. Sofia Sheikh from the SETI Institute led a study that sheds new light on how pulsar signals—the spinning remnants of massive stars—distort as they ...

The Vela pulsar is one of the best-studied spinning neutron stars and is an example of the extreme nature of these objects. Created in a supernova around 10,000 years ago, the neutron star has a ...

Each pulsar has its own signature pulse rate, making them easy to identify, and ideal as reference points on a map. Frank Drake used 14 pulsars to create a map with our sun at the center. Each ...

British startup Pulsar Fusion has unveiled Sunbird, a space rocket concept designed to meet spacecraft in orbit, attach to them, and carry them to their destination at breakneck speed using ...

It sounds like science fiction, but Pulsar CEO Richard Dinan told TechCrunch in a recent interview that fusion propulsion was “inevitable.” “You’ve got to ask yourself, can humanity do ...
