Radio-loud neutron stars known as pulsars allow a wide range of experimental tests for fundamental physics, ranging from the study of super-dense matter to tests of General Relativity (GR) and its alternatives. As a result, pulsars provide strong-field tests of gravity, they allow for the direct detection of gravitational waves in a “pulsar timing array” (PTA), and they promise the future study of black hole properties. This contribution gives an overview of the on-going experiments and recent results.
