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 ...

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 ...

The world's first-ever detection of two faraway neutron stars colliding, causing a massive blast that rippled through the fabric of space and time, is judged the scientific breakthrough of 2017.

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 ...

Delve into the enigmatic realm of neutron stars—stellar remnants that defy our conventional understanding. Once blazing stars ...

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.

Substituting can be a tricky art, especially when stars are involved. When massive stars explode, they can collapse into extremely dense — and mysterious — objects known as neutron stars. But neutron ...

Forget archaeologists and their lost civilizations, or paleontologists with their fossils—astrophysicist Heloise Stevance studies the past on an entirely different scale. When astronomers catch a ...
