China's FAST, the China Sky Eye, has discovered over 1,000 pulsars, outpacing global totals in seven years, including crucial millisecond pulsars and pulsar binaries. FAST supports tests of general relativity and provides pulsar physics data. Since 2021, it's open to international use. Its sensitivity aids in understanding pulsar radio luminosity. FAST aims to detect nanohertz gravitational waves and black hole-neutron star binaries. (ICE PECHINO)
