Gravitational-wave researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a new model that promises to yield fresh insights into the structure and composition of neutron stars. The model shows ...

Illustration of the new method: the researchers use five-dimensional black holes (right) to calculate the phase diagram of strongly coupled matter (middle), enabling simulations of neutron star ...

Neutron stars are what remain after giant stars collapse, leaving behind a body so dense that its core crushes protons and neutrons into a tightly packed soup. These objects cool very slowly over ...

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 are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of ...

Volume rendering of density in a simulation of a binary neutron star merger. New research shows that neutrinos created in the hot interface between the merging stars can be briefly trapped and remain ...

"More than half a century has passed since the discovery of neutron stars, but the mechanism of why glitches happen is not yet understood." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used Frontier to chart the isospin density of a neutron star over a range of conditions. This illustration depicts isospin-dense ...

"These extreme events stretch the bounds of our understanding of physics, and studying them allows us to learn new things." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
