Far from being solid bullets of rock, many asteroids are fragile clusters of debris that spin so quickly they flirt with self ...

A newly spotted space rock has just shattered the speed record for large asteroids, spinning so quickly that by all ...

Physicists studied crystals made of rotating objects that fragment easily, show unusual defects, and follow a new theory predicting their unique behavior. (Nanowerk News) Physicists from Aachen, ...

It's the latest in a series of mysterious radio signals that may point to new types of dead stars. Astronomers are looking for more of these signals — and hoping ones they've discovered will reappear.

A bizarre spinning object has been detected sending out strange radio wave pulses deep in space. This object, named GPM J1839-10, is around 15,000 light years away from Earth, and has been spotted by ...

The first part of your question — how stellar objects reach millisecond spin periods — involves two concepts. First, the object needs to be small, since no material can move faster than the speed of ...

Interactions between a spinning object and soundwaves could help develop high-precision tools, such as tweezers that control the motion and position of submillimeter objects by manipulating acoustic ...

Astronomers have detected a puzzling 'unicorn' object that's speeding up rather than slowing down, contrary to the laws of physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
