A new study examining signals from a dead star, led by Rachael Stewart, provides the strongest evidence yet that extreme magnetic fields can alter the propertie

NASA's IXPE telescope observed the magnetar 1E 1547-5408 for over 140 hours, potentially capturing the first direct observation of empty space behaving as predi

NASA's IXPE mission may have confirmed a 90-year-old theory by observing a magnetar, 1E 1547.0-5408, where empty space appears to behave as predicted by vacuum

New polarization measurements of the magnetar 1E 1547.0−5408 provide strong evidence that vacuum birefringence influences X-ray propagation, offering an importa
