A new analysis of the neutron star merger known as GW170817 has delivered the most precise measurement yet of the Hubble ...

Rochester Institute of Technology is advancing computer simulations to predict, for the first time, the complete cycle of neutron stars merging with other neutron stars or black holes. These extreme ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of millions of years, these stars progressively cool down, radiating heat into ...

Scientists have precisely measured two unstable atomic nuclei that play a crucial role in explosive X-ray bursts on neutron stars. The results reveal faster nuclear reactions than previously thought, ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how the merger unfolds, including the composition and structure of the merger ...

Think of the heaviness that remains after your Uncle Frank starts an explosive conversation about politics at Thanksgiving dinner. That may be the least scientific, much less cosmic way of describing ...

Scientists analyzing a gravitational-wave signal have discovered that a neutron star and black hole spiraled together on an oval-shaped orbit just before merging. This unusual motion, detected in the ...

Grants of €2.5m each will be used to investigate what language change reveals about the migration of ancient communities, how lymphatic vessels ...

Physicists studying the collapsed remnant inside the Cassiopeia A supernova have recorded it cooling faster than standard models predict, a finding that points to exotic states of matter packed at ...
