Astronomers have made a remarkable discovery: a neutron star spinning at a staggering rate of 716 times per second, making it the fastest-spinning neutron star in the known universe, tied only with PSR J1748–2446. This stellar body, located in the binary system 4U 1820–30 within the NGC 6,624 globular cluster near the Milky Way’s center, is around 26 light-years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius.

The discovery was made using NASA’s Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), an X-ray telescope mounted on the International Space Station. Gaurava K. Jaisawal from DTU Space shared that during observations of thermonuclear bursts, the team detected oscillations corresponding to a spin rate of 716 Hz, confirming the extreme speed.

Neutron stars, remnants of massive stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel, are known for their rapid rotation and intense density. This newfound star is no exception, showcasing powerful thermonuclear blasts that briefly make it up to 100,000 times brighter than the Sun. These explosions occur as material from its companion star—a white dwarf in this case—accretes onto the neutron star’s surface, igniting under extreme pressure.

FRBs are so powerful that even after traveling billions of light-years, only around 50 have been traced back to their host galaxies.

Imagine a world where cancer treatment doesn’t rely on harsh chemicals or debilitating side effects, but instead harnesses a natural defense mechanism embedded in every cell of our bodies. Recent breakthroughs by scientists at Northwestern University suggest this may soon be a reality. They’ve uncovered a “kill switch” that could change everything we know about cancer treatment, offering a new path that sidesteps the harmful impacts of chemotherapy. But how does this hidden code work, and could it truly offer a more effective way to fight cancer?

How long would you like to live, and could science and technology make it possible?

Longevity science aims to extend our healthy years through advancements in CRISPR, cellular reprogramming, and drug development. While private companies and philanthropists invest heavily in these innovations, should the government be responsible for funding these efforts? Those who say yes to government funding say that longevity research could revolutionize public health, keep aging populations productive in the workforce, and reduce the economic burden of age-related illnesses. Those opposed to public funding of longevity science say that true life extension beyond a decade might be unachievable, and it will take years before results are measurable.

They argue that when and if these advances become available, they may only be for a smaller, affluent population. They also argue that long-known behavior choices like good nutrition and sleep should be adopted by all now, instead of chasing uncertain longevity advancements.
