An international team of astrophysicists has, for the first time, detected signs of vacuum birefringence—a phenomenon predicted by Heisenberg nearly 90 years ago. This discovery could become the first direct experimental confirmation of the quantum properties of vacuum and open up new possibilities for studying the structure of the Universe.
An international team has developed an artificial intelligence-based simulator that accelerates and simplifies the modeling of heavy element formation processes in the Universe. The new RHINE tool enables more accurate and faster calculations of nuclear reactions during neutron star mergers, significantly reducing computational costs.
Astronomers have discovered a new pulsar, PSR J0125−5854, located about 3,200 light-years from Earth. This object rotates more slowly than previously known pulsars and may possibly be part of a binary system with a white dwarf.

Astronomers have detected a powerful gamma-ray burst caused by the merger of neutron stars in a distant galaxy. This event sheds light on the origin of heavy elements such as gold and platinum in the universe.
Astronomers have discovered a possible pulsar near the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Confirming this discovery could help us gain a deeper understanding of the structure and processes within the Universe.
