Confirming a pulsar star would enable unprecedented tests of General Relativity. Such a discovery would revolutionize physics.
Why only a small number of planets are suitable for life - Phys.org
For life to develop on a planet, certain chemical elements are needed in sufficient quantities. Phosphorus and nitrogen are essential. Phosphorus is vital for the formation of DNA and RNA, which store and transmit genetic information, and for the energy balan…
Massive Survey of Runaway Stars Reveals a Surprise About Their Origin - ScienceAlert
In the early 1960s, Dutch astronomer Adriaan Blaauw observed stars moving at unusually high speeds moving through the Milky Way.
A smashing success: Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider wraps up final collisions - Phys.org
Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and crashed into one another at nearly the sp…
