The research, conducted by scientists from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) and other institutes, was published in the journal Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics Thursday. Gravitational waves are the "ripples" produced by massive objects such as black holes as they rapidly move through the fabric of spacetime. The scientists monitored 57 millisecond pulsars with regular cadence for 41 months by taking advantage of the high sensitivity of FAST. Eventually, they found key evidence for quadrupole correlation signatures compatibl

Hokuto Hoshi, head of a Fukushima prefectural committee studying the health impact of the 2011 nuclear power plant accident, denies any correlation between the disaster and the recent confirmation of a single thyroid cancer case at a press conference in Fukushima city on Feb. 12, 2015. The results of the committee's second round of surveys on all Fukushima children showed that one child suffered thyroid cancer, but denied a view that they were affected by radiation.
