Enrique Rico Ortega and Sofia Vallecorsa explain how quantum computing will allow physicists to model complex dynamics, from ...

Fifty experts on nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics met at CERN from 9 to 13 June to discuss how to use ...

When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to Caltech’s latest supercomputer simulations, we’re getting a front-row seat to the whole ...

Extreme collisions between neutron stars could create exotic particles beyond the standard model, including axions, the hypothetical particle that comprises dark matter.

If dark matter interacts with normal matter, then when it encounters a neutron star, it will have so many interactions that it loses energy.

How neutron imaging uncovers hidden secrets of fossils and artifacts The subatomic particles can find things other imaging techniques can’t ...

Powerful bursts of radiation called fast radio bursts could be launched when neutron stars collide and merge, gravitational wave detections indicate.

Neutrons power the nuclear energy-generating processes and determining how neutrons scatter from all reactor materials is critical. In this study, scientists explored the interaction of neutrons with ...
