The blast may have been a kilonova — a type of neutron star merger — in the wake of a more traditional supernova.

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 massive gravitational monsters, and orbiting one wouldn't end up well for our planet. But what if we took ...

In this video I show you what happens when you try to get close to 1 drop of a neutron star. I tell you how a neutron star is ...

Some of the densest objects in the universe are neutron stars. Neutron stars are the remnants of stellar cores left behind when a star has gone supernova. The only known objects denser than neutron ...

The universe is full of bizarre objects, and now astronomers have discovered a doozy – superheavy neutron stars that existed for only fractions of a second, before they collapsed into black holes.

Researchers have found a new way to detect some of the most cataclysmic mergers in the universe before they happen. Neutron stars, the extremely dense cores of massive dead stars, spiraling toward ...

Sweet new research suggests that some neutron stars have stiff mantles and soft cores, while others have soft exteriors and stiff hearts, just like different types of chocolates. When you purchase ...

New research suggests that colliding neutron stars can briefly "trap" ghostly particles called neutrinos, which could reveal new secrets about some of space's most extreme events. When you purchase ...
