Using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), astronomers from West Virginia University and elsewhere have observed two distant pulsars identified with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio ...

Pulsars, the rapidly rotating neutron stars discovered over half a century ago, offer profound insights into extreme physics, including strong gravity and the behaviour of matter under extraordinary ...

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, ...

Using China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), researchers have uncovered new magnetic field structures in a rare class of binary star systems known as spider pulsars, ...

Alien-hunters are focusing their telescopes on 'pulsar' stars to time their twinkles, giving them a new tool to sift through space signals and spot messages from other forms of life ...
