More than 50 years after the discovery of pulsars(1) and confirmation of their association with supernova explosions(2-4), the origin of the initial s......
Cosmic rays with energies up to a few PeV are known to be accelerated within the Milky Way(1,2). Traditionally, it has been presumed that supernova re......
Magnetars are young, magnetically powered neutron stars that possess the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are extre......
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short pulses observed in the radio band from cosmological distances(1). One class of models invokes soft gamma-ray repeat......
Cosmic rays (protons and other atomic nuclei) are believed to gain energies of petaelectronvolts (PeV) and beyond at astrophysical particle accelerato......
Magnetars are the most highly magnetized neutron stars in the cosmos (with magnetic field 10(13)-10(15) G). Giant flares from magnetars are rare, shor......
Protoclusters, the progenitors of the most massive structures in the Universe, have been identified at redshifts of up to 6.6 (refs. (1-6)). Besides e......
A comparative analysis of weathered bedrock in the Mawrth Vallis region of Mars and on Hainan Island, China, provides geological evidence for a reduce......
