The nearest millisecond pulsar PSR J0437-4715 has a radius of 11.4 kilometers and a mass 1.4 times that of the sun. These are the results of precision measurements made by a team of researchers led by ...

A fuzzy smudge of light visible from the Southern Hemisphere, the Large Magellanic Cloud looks modest to the naked eye. But ...

Indian scientists have discovered five millisecond pulsars in two ancient star clusters, offering new insights into stellar ...

Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers has discovered 15 new millisecond pulsars in 47 Tucanae—one of the closest and best studied globular clusters. The finding is ...

If you are manufacturing something, you have to test it. It wouldn’t do, for example, for your car to say it was going 60 MPH when it was really going 90 MPH. But if you were making a classic Leica ...

A researcher in Germany has revealed how “millisecond pulsars” – neutron stars with rotational periods ranging from 1–10 ms – slow over time. By exploring how a pulsar behaves when it stops accreting ...

An experiment in which rats are "teleported" shows how memory is organized into discrete 125 millisecond-long packets, enabling a smooth transition between one memory and the next. You're rudely ...

A Chinese research team using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), dubbed the "China Sky Eye," has for the first time unambiguously detected millisecond-scale radio bursts ...

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), Chinese astronomers have inspected two nearby galactic globular clusters, namely NGC 6517 and NGC 7078. The study resulted in ...
