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 arguably the strangest objects in the universe - if we don’t count black holes as actual objects. And honestly, neutron stars are even weirder than black holes in some ways.

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.

Neutron stars are dead relics that have collapsed into very small, dense spheres with tough crusts. Forces welling from within can crack the crusts during events called star quakes, similar to ...

Nothing inspires stellar awe quite like a neutron star.Often stretching only 15 miles across, these dead, collapsed stars can contain up to 2.5 times the mass of our own Sun (which is 865,000 ...

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 ...

A second group that includes Heinke and Ho has also attributed the neutron star’s rapid drop in temperature to the onset of neutron superfluidity. Cooling slows.

So she set out to see if there was another way to learn about the brief, wondrous life of a hyper-massive neutron star. When two neutron stars merge, the event is high octane enough to produce ...

Dailymotion. Kilonova Detected From Neutron Star Collision - Magnetar Created? Posted: June 18, 2025 | Last updated: June 18, 2025. The most luminous kilonova candidate to date (short gamma-ray ...

A dense, collapsed star spinning 707 times per second—making it one of the fastest spinning neutron stars in the Milky Way galaxy—has shredded and consumed nearly the entire mass of its ...

The crusts of neutron stars may be 10 billion times stronger than steel, ... If you were to hold that empty teaspoon just one yard above the star's surface and drop it, ...
