A Binary Pulsar in a 53-minute Orbit Detected by FAST
FAST, China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope has discovered a binary pulsar with an orbital period of 53.3 minutes, the shortest known period for a pulsar binary system so far. The discovery, published in Nature on June 21, will help understand the evolutionary model of spider pulsar systems.
Shiyan-25 Space Experiment Satellite Launched
China launched its Shiyan-25 experiment satellite on June 20 to conduct mainly new Earth observation technology experiments. The launch was the 477th flight mission conducted by the Long March rocket series.
Scandium Superconductivity Discovered
A new record for the highest transition temperature of elemental superconductivity was produced. Scientists from two Chinese universities have discovered that elemental scandium has a superconducting transition temperature of up to 36 degrees Kelvin at high pressure. The results were published in Physical Review Letters on June 22.
China's First High -pressure Pure Hydrogen Pipeline Tested
China successfully completed the first high -pressure pure hydrogen pipeline burst test on June 25, laying the foundation for large-scale, low -cost and long-distance pure hydrogen transportation.
