- University of Leicester paleontologists publish new book on technofossils

- Offers a glimpse of how today’s technology will become the fossils of the future

- Scientists suggest that wind turbine blades, made from difficult to recycle materials, may be among the most surprising fossils found by future palaeontologists

Astronomers detected constant stream of radio pulses emitted from across the galaxy. Team now finds the pulses are from a white dwarf and red dwarf binary. The stars’ orbit is so tight that their magnetic fields interact, causing the pulses. Discovery marks the first radio pulse traced to a binary source.

A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting each other emitting radio pulses every two hours. Their findings means we know it isn't just neutron stars that emit such pulses, but these are spaced unusually far apart.
