Proposed method for radio-frequency interference mitigation and signal restoration of pulsar signals
Pulsar signals obtained with radio telescopes are extremely weak. Generally, there are two primary difficulties in pulsar signal processing—one is the radio-frequency interference (RFI) mitigation, and the other one is information loss due to the p.....»»

Near-threshold resonance helps explain a controversial measurement of exotic decay in beryllium-11
Most mass in everyday matter around us resides in protons and neutrons inside the atomic nucleus. However, the lifetime of a free neutron—one not bounded to a nucleus—is unstable, decaying by a process called beta decay. For neutrons, beta decay.....»»
