It's the latest in a series of mysterious radio signals that may point to new types of dead stars. Astronomers are looking for more of these signals — and hoping ones they've discovered will reappear.

Astronomers observed one of the fastest-spinning objects ever seen in the universe - and it is a neutron star. The researchers, from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), made the observation in ...

Scientists from Purdue University have broken their own record for building the world’s fastest-spinning object. In 2018, the team built a tiny machine capable of completing 60 billion revolutions per ...

It's not science fiction: Scientists have discovered a neutron star that spins faster than any blender humans have ever made. In a recently published study, scientists discovered that the 4U 1820-30 ...

Researchers have developed a real-time imaging system that can capture images of fast-spinning objects over long durations. Real-time monitoring of rotating parts such as the turbine blades used in ...

In the Optica Publishing Group journal Optics Letters, researchers presented their innovative imaging system based on a single-pixel detector. They demonstrate that it can capture images of an object ...

If you thought fire-bending was impossible, think again. The Jumbo Jugglers is a student group dedicated to providing an outlet for people of any background to learn the skills of object manipulation, ...

(Nanowerk News) A dumbbell-shaped nanoparticle powered just by the force and torque of light has become the world's fastest-spinning object. Scientists at Purdue University created the object, which ...

When you view your right hand in a mirror, it appears as a left hand. Writing is reversed, as is the direction of any spinning object: clockwise becomes counterclockwise and vice versa. In many ways, ...

Scientists have created a microscopic sphere and set it awhirl at a blistering 600 million rotations per minute. The sphere, which rotates 500,000 times faster than the average washing machine, is the ...

A spinning object in our neighborhood of the galaxy is beaming powerful radio waves at Earth — and astronomers don't know what it is. The object is smaller than the sun and it must be spinning, ...
