Pulsars: The key to secure encryption
Pulsars have many applications, from testing general relativity to searching for gravitational waves. Today’s paper explores an unusual one: cryptography!

How do neutron stars acquire such strong magnetic fields? Why do these fields differ between pulsars and magnetars? Today’s paper suggests that *convective dynamos* may be at play.
The European Pulsar Timing Array recently released the results of their latest gravitational wave search. Here’s what they found.
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, read about Katherine Zine and Blaise Veres’ work with NANOGrav’s Quicklook software, which allows them to quickly look at pulsar observations
Why does one pulsar seem to lie so far away from the Galactic plane?
The largest single-dish radio telescope in the world just released a new set of results. What’s inside?
