Astronomers have been recording the signal for more than four decades, but this is the first time they've nabbed its origin.
A new study led by researchers at Durham University has uncovered a novel mechanism that could solve a long-standing mystery about decaying ... The study, "An efficient tidal dissipation mechanism ...
