Star eats companion
ESA's Integral space observatory, together with NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer spacecraft, has found a fast-spinning pulsar in the process of devouring its companion. view more (2005-09-07)
New analysis of pottery stirs Olmec trade controversy
Clearing - or perhaps roiling - the murky and often contentious waters of Mesoamerican archeology, a study of 3,000-year-old pottery provides new evidence that the Olmec may not have been the mother culture after all. view more (2005-08-02)
Scientists find black hole's 'point of no return'
Scientists have found new evidence that black holes are performing the disappearing acts for which they are known. view more (2006-01-11)
HETE-2 satellite solves mystery of cosmic explosions
An international team of scientists using three NASA satellites and a host of ground-based telescopes believes it has solved the greatest remaining mystery of the mysterious gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most powerful explosions in the universe. view more (2005-10-06)
Milky Way's fastest pulsar is on its way out of the galaxy, astronomers find
The Milky Way's fastest observed pulsar is speeding out of the galaxy at more than 670 miles a second, propelled largely by a kick it received at its birth 2.5 million years ago. view more (2006-02-16)
Unravelling a cosmic mystery-scientists discover the Universe's strongest magnetic field
Scientists from The University of Exeter and the International University, Bremen have discovered what is thought to be the strongest magnetic field in the Universe. view more (2006-03-31)
Astronomers link old stars and mysterious cosmic explosions
Cosmic gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the universe, have the extreme brilliance of a billion billion Suns and occur several times a day. view more (2005-12-15)
Astronomers discover new kind of black-hole explosion
Scientists have discovered what appears to be a new kind of cosmic explosion - a "hybrid gamma-ray burst" - which will be the subject of four articles to be published in the journal Nature on 21 December 2006. view more (2006-12-21)
General relativity survives gruelling pulsar test — Einstein at least 99.95 percent right
An international research team led by Prof. Michael Kramer of the University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Observatory, UK, has used three years of observations of the "double pulsar", a unique pair of natural stellar clocks which they discovered in 2003, to prove that Einstein's theory of general relativity-the theory of gravity that... view more...

Earthquakes Happen at Full Moon
Russian physicists have found that flashes of neutron radiation from the Earth surface are bound to increasing in seismic activity. They believe that this phenomenon can be used as a novel kind of earthquake foreboding. The researchers of the Department of Cosmic Radiation of the Research Institute of Nuclear Physics at Moscow State University... view more... (2001-02-02)
Supernova leaves behind mysterious object
Thanks to data from ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, a team of scientists taking a closer look at an object discovered over 25 years ago have found that it is like none other known in our galaxy. view more (2006-07-10)
Powerful explosions suggest neutron star missing link
Observations from NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) have revealed that the youngest known pulsing neutron star has thrown a temper tantrum. view more (2008-02-22)
Astronomers weigh 'recycled' millisecond pulsar
A team of U.S. and Australian astronomers is announcing today that they have, for the first time, precisely measured the mass of a millisecond pulsar - a tiny, dead star spinning hundreds of times every second. view more (2006-01-13)
Researchers peg magnetism as key driver of high-temperature superconductivity
When it comes to superconductivity, magnetic excitations may top good vibrations. view more (2006-07-06)
Hi ho silver! FSU physicist helps discover an atomic oddity
Working with an international team of scientists, a Florida State University physics professor has taken part in an experiment that resulted in the creation of a silver atom with exotic properties never before observed. view more (2006-01-30)
Old pulsars still have new tricks to teach us
The super-sensitivity of ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has shown that the prevailing theory of how stellar corpses, known as pulsars, generate their X-rays needs revising. view more (2006-07-26)
Part-time pulsar yields new insight into inner workings of cosmic clocks
Astronomers using the 76-m Lovell radio telescope at the University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Observatory have discovered a very strange pulsar that helps explain how pulsars act as 'cosmic clocks' and confirms theories put forward 37 years ago to explain the way in which pulsars emit their regular beams of radio waves-considered to be one of... view more...

XMM-Newton reveals a tumbling neutron star
Using data from ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory, an international group of astrophysicists discovered that one spinning neutron star doesn't appear to be the stable rotator scientists would expect. view more (2006-04-20)
Physicist: Stars can be strange
According to the "Strange Matter Hypothesis," which gained popularity in the paranormal 1980's, nuclear matter, too, can be strange. view more (2006-12-19)
General relativity survives gruelling pulsar test
Astronomers have used a pair of pulsars orbiting each other, found with CSIRO's Parkes telescope in 2003, to show that Einstein's theory of general relativity is correct to within 0.05% - the most stringent limit to date. view more (2006-09-18)
