Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...

The cosmos has delivered a rare kind of fireworks display, and astronomers are racing to understand what it means. A strange double flash from a distant galaxy appears to show two neutron stars ...

A double blast of dying stars may be the first observed case of a long-hypothesized, never proven “superkilonova.” Although ...

Federal facilities that offer neutron beams for U.S. industry play an outsized role in bringing new goods to market more quickly and cost-effectively, according to an analysis of neutron science's ...

Scientists from several institutions, including the University of Chicago, discovered a lemon-shaped planet with an ...

Neutron stars are covered with "mountains" only fractions of a millimeter tall, new research shows, meaning these bumps are hundreds of times smaller than previous estimates had suggested. Now, new ...

Number one for neutrons: During 2005–2015 the Institute Laue-Langevin in Grenoble published more papers than any other neutron facility in the world. (Courtesy: ILL/Max Alexander) They found that in ...

In a physics first, a team including scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams (named for ...

For some neutron stars, the quickest way to cool off isn’t with a frosty beverage, but with lightweight, subatomic particles called neutrinos. Scientists have spotted the first solid evidence that ...

(Inside Science) — Exactly how long a neutron lives is currently under debate. Now researchers suggest this mystery could be solved if neutrons sometimes decay into particles of dark matter, the ...

A genie in a bottle might grant you a wish, but neutrons trapped in a bottle aren’t so accommodating. Outside of an atomic nucleus, the neutral particles eventually decay into other particles. But ...
