An international team of researchers, led by scientists from GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany, has studied r-process ...

What happens when the smallest building blocks of matter refuse to play by the rules of traditional physics? For decades, ...

Citizen scientists have spotted the moment a binary star system exploded after playing “spot the difference” with images from ...

Pictures of a distant supernova remnant show two concentric rings, providing clear evidence that exploding white dwarf stars ...

However, when two neutron stars collide, they create a powerful explosion that sends out gravitational waves—ripples in space and time. These waves were first detected in 2017, but the most ...

This paper reports aformulafor calculating the average gravity on the surface ofrotationalobjectderived from Hoffman-Wellenhof'sdefinitionand modern physics.This formula shows that there is a constant ...

In this study, we relied on the knowledge that neutron star mergers play a crucial role in creating elements heavier than iron through r-process nucleosynthesis. The starting point of our ...

Item 1 of 2 An artist's impression of a type of neutron star called a magnetar. Magnetars are the cosmic objects with the strongest magnetic fields ever measured in the universe.

Image shows evidence for a neutron star following a stellar explosion called Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy neighboring our Milky Way, in this handout combination of ...
