Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are notoriously difficult to study. They are flashes of radio light that can outshine a galaxy but ...

After nearly 20 years of study, scientists are beginning to understand a bizarre celestial phenomenon known as fast radio ...

Most of the neutron stars we know of have a mass between 1.4 and 2.0 Suns. The upper limit makes sense, since, beyond about ...

"In these environments of neutron stars, the magnetic fields are really at the limits of what the universe can produce." Fireworks are likely dying down in your neighborhood as New Year's ...

Neutron stars are very small and dense stars, where roughly half a million earth masses of material are squeezed into a city-sized volume with a radius of 10 km. They are mostly composed of ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are incredible releases of energy – as much as the Sun releases in days – that last for a fraction ...

Scientists are advancing research on hypernuclei to improve understanding of subatomic forces and neutron stars ...

The collision of neutron stars is an opportunity to see what is inside these incredible objects Astronomers can for the first time detect the smashing together of dead suns known as neutron stars ...

It is more massive than collapsed stars, known as "neutron stars", but has less mass than black holes. Such "black neutron stars" were not thought possible and will mean ideas for how neutron ...

Neutron stars are so named because in the simplest of models they are made of neutrons. They form when the core of a large star collapses, and the weight of gravity causes atoms to collapse.

In a brilliant development, scientists have discerned the origins of a fast radio burst borne from the magnetic surroundings of a dead neutron star. Its sighting can be traced to a curved glint of ...
