Something in space has been lighting up every 20 minutes since 1988 ( arstechnica.com )
On Wednesday, researchers announced the discovery of a new astronomical enigma. The new object, GPM J1839–10, behaves a bit like a pulsar, sending out regular bursts of radio energy. But the physics that drives pulsars means that they’d stop emitting if they slowed down too much, and almost every pulsar we know of blinks at...

Probing the mysteries of neutron stars with a surprising earthly analog: Ultracold gases in the lab could help scientists better understand the universe. ( arstechnica.com )
[…]to accurately interpret some of the neutron stars’ signals, researchers must first understand what goes on inside them. They have their hunches, but experimenting directly on a neutron star is out of the question. So scientists need another way to test their theories. The behavior of matter in such a superdense object is...
