A computer simulation shows how two neutron stars of unequal mass merge, form a black hole and spit out a jet of high energy matter.

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold across space—all modeled with extreme detail using one of the world’s ...

Bad Bunny makes a ‘political statement’ as Puerto Rico residency begins A year after Trump's near-assassination, friends and allies see some signs of a changed man Denver museum discovers nearly ...

Neutron stars are the universe's most extreme stars, born when massive stars die and explode. These stars are packed with material so dense that if a teaspoon of it made its way to Earth, it would ...

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

Neutron stars are the leftover cores of exploded stars and the densest known material in the universe. A typical neutron star has a mass a few times the mass of the sun , compressed into a region ...

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

Binary neutron star mergers occur millions of light-years away from Earth. Interpreting the gravitational waves they produce presents a major challenge for traditional data-analysis methods. These ...
