A research team has investigated long-term X-ray variability in the neutron star NGC 7793 P13, an object thought to be driven by supercritical accretion, where an extraordinary amount of gas falls ...

Physicists in Vienna staged how a cube and a sphere would look in a camera if they raced at 99.9 percent of light speed. They used lasers and ultrafast cameras to build a single snapshot from many ...

A mystery object feared to be an alien ship heading to Earth could be steered by 'technological thrusters', a boffin fears. Photos of the "interstellar anomaly" known as 3I/ATLAS show its jets are not ...

Abstract: Rotation is a fundamental form of motion and rotation speed measurement holds paramount importance for assessing the health and performance of machinery with rotating components. However, ...

Planet Earth is spinning a little faster today — resulting in one of the shortest days of the year. But the change will be so minuscule you won’t even notice. We’re talking even less time than the ...
