Neutron star physics

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 made and then also talk about different types of stars and show you a ...
Neutron stars are the densely compact cores remaining as one possible result of a supernova. These star remnants are ...
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope could expose a vast hidden population of neutron stars lurking unseen across the Milky Way. By ...
NASA's new Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could help shed light on hidden neutron stars across the Milky Way.
What happens when two neutron stars collide? This video explores the fascinating phenomena associated with neutron star collisions, including the formation of heavy elements and the resulting ...
New data is telling us that Neutron stars may make one of the most popular dark matter candidates. Neutron stars aren't dark matter--we figured that out a while ago. But new research is telling us ...
Physicists have shown that extremely light particles known as axions may occur in large clouds around neutron stars. These axions could form an explanation for the elusive dark matter that ...
It's not science fiction: Scientists have discovered a neutron star that spins faster than any blender humans have ever made. In a recently published study, scientists discovered that the 4U 1820-30 ...
Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of atomic nuclei, and they possess some of the strongest gravitational fields of ...
The dense remains of massive stars generate powerful jets of gas and dust that move hundreds of millions of miles per hour, according to research published last week in Nature. When some massive stars ...
STARKVILLE, Miss.—A Mississippi State physicist has achieved a significant scientific advancement, producing a direct laboratory measurement of a key nuclear reaction believed to occur during ...
