Quantum Vortices: How a Chip Recreates the Dance of Fluids

Scientists created a model that allows a quantum chip to simulate vortex flows. They rewrote fluid motion equations into rules for qubits and tested them on an eight-qubit superconducting processor. Virtual vortices behaved like real ones. Thus, quantum computers bring us closer to solving the ancie

Mysterious radio pulsar beats every 36 minutes

Astronomers discovered an unusual radio signal with a 36-minute period. It sent pulses for only eight days, then vanished. Its radio waves oscillated strictly in one plane, and that plane gracefully rotated. Such 'beacons' likely flare up frequently in the Galaxy, but are hard to catch. Unraveling t

Cosmic Waltz: How a White Dwarf Became a Radio Beacon

The system ASKAP J1745−5051 is a close binary where a magnetic white dwarf strips material from a red dwarf every 1.37 hours. The resulting radio bursts are so powerful that their brightness temperature exceeds 10^12 K, requiring a coherent emission mechanism — a cosmic analog of a laser. Spectrosco

Dancing Dispersion: The Millisecond Life of a Neutron Star

FRB 20250613A, caught in a dwarf galaxy at z=0.0987, surprised us: its dispersion varied 50 times within minutes. The bursts repeat with a rhythm of 6.8 ms, as if a neutron star is spinning. And most strikingly, the brighter the pulse, the cleaner the ether: the radio wave accelerates oncoming elect
