Gravity experiments with radio pulsars

PCC Freire, N Wex - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2024‏ - Springer
The discovery of the first pulsar in a binary star system, the Hulse–Taylor pulsar, 50 years
ago opened up an entirely new field of experimental gravity. For the first time it was possible …

The nuclear equation of state and neutron star masses

gravitational fields, which may give rise to phenomena outside general relativity. These …

Empathy for pain involves the affective but not sensory components of pain

T Singer, B Seymour, J O'doherty, H Kaube, RJ Dolan… - Science, 2004‏ - science.org
Our ability to have an experience of another's pain is characteristic of empathy. Using
functional imaging, we assessed brain activity while volunteers experienced a painful …
