It's not science fiction: Scientists have discovered a neutron star that spins faster than any blender humans have ever made. In a recently published study, scientists discovered that the 4U 1820-30 ...

To demonstrate the system, the researchers showed that it could reconstruct real-time high-quality still images of a model jet engine rotating at about ∼2170 rpm (top images) and a CPU cooling fan ...

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 ...

Objects rotating at high speed are a feature of modern engineering in various fields, and online inspection of them is a critical challenge. A project at China's Jinan University has now developed a ...

A spinning object in our neighborhood of the galaxy is beaming powerful radio waves at Earth — and astronomers don't know what it is. The object is smaller than the sun and it must be spinning, ...
