The collision of two neutron stars around 130 million light-years from Earth, and the unique physics this merger created, may have shed new light on dark matter. Axions have never been directly ...

Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...

A new study showing how the explosion of a stripped massive star in a supernova can lead to the formation of a heavy neutron star or a light black hole resolves one of the most challenging puzzles to ...

We don't really know, but probably some truly bizarre physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Neutron stars are some of the ...

The oscillating frequencies of two short gamma-ray bursts are the best evidence yet for the formation of 'impossible' hypermassive neutron stars that can briefly defy gravity before collapsing to form ...

Sep. 12—In the cosmic tug-of-war between matter and antimatter, matter has the upper hand. Our universe leans more heavily on the side of matter. In a one-to-one ratio, matter and antimatter would ...

A new study says the cataclysmic event of two neutron stars colliding may also have solved the mystery of why there are so many heavy elements in the universe. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window ...

Describing matter under extreme conditions, such as those found inside neutron stars, remains an unsolved problem. The density of such matter is equivalent to compressing around 100,000 Eiffel Towers ...
