Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...
The catalog of gravitational waves "heard" by LIGO, KAGRA and Virgo has doubled with detections of spacetime ripples.
The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black hole. This has, for the first time, made it ...
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 it comes to ...
When the remnants of two stars collide, their union can launch a dazzling jet of high energy matter. A new computer simulation reveals how the merger, which forms a black hole, emits that bright beam, ...
A new study says the cataclysmic event of two neutron stars colliding may also have solved the mystery of why there are so many heavy elements in the universe. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window ...

Scientists have discovered that when neutron stars collide, they leave behind a remnant that doesn't resemble either of them. Neutron stars are the universe's most extreme stars, born when massive ...
