Astronomers have spotted something strange and spectacular: a mysterious object that keeps emitting pulses every 44 minutes. In a press release from Australia's Curtin University, which was part of the international team that detected the object just 15,000 light-years away in our Milky Way galaxy, astronomers explained that the find was all the more stunning because the signal is coming in the form of both X-rays and radio waves. The object, which was named ASKAP J1832-0911 after Australia's

A team of researchers in China have discovered a stunning binary system in which a stellar object known as a pulsar orbited inside the outer layers of its companion star — which it accomplished after stripping its host's innards and dispersing them into space. The findings, detailed in a new study published in the journal Science, are an incredibly rare example of a "spider star" that preys on its companion, so-named because of the female arachnids that devour males after mating. And tantalizin

What just happened? An international team of researchers have discovered a cosmic anomaly unlike anything previously witnessed. The object in question, located roughly 15,000 light-years away in our very own Milky Way galaxy, has been observed emitting both radio waves and X-ray radiation. The celestial body, dubbed ASKAP J1832- 0911, was initially found by astronomers using the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), a radio telescope located in Australia.

If you look at the Milky Way through a powerful telescope, you’ll notice that close to the center of the galaxy there are elongated filaments that seem to outline its spiral shape. Scientists have a nickname for these structures: “galactic bones.” Recently, astronomers found that one of the Milky Way’s bones is “fractured,” and they believe they’ve now found a possible culprit: a neutron star that may have collided with it. According to NASA, these bones are huge elongated formations of energiz

In a new paper published in The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, researchers from IBM Quantum® and Lockheed Martin demonstrate how a quantum computer can help accurately model the electronic structure of certain molecules. These so-called, “open-shell” molecules contain one or more unpaired electrons, making them difficult to simulate with classical methods alone.
