In an unprecedented astronomical discovery, two neutron stars were seen colliding for the first time. The collision created gravitational waves, light and heavy elements like gold and platinum.

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 ...

One of two things happens when neutron stars collide: they merge together to form a new, larger neutron star, or they collapse into a black hole. But ...

When neutron stars collide, the explosions they create are perfectly spherical, a new study finds. This contradicts previous theories surrounding the blasts, known as kilonovas , that suggest they ...

The collision of two neutron stars around 130 million light-years from Earth, and the unique physics this merger created, may have shed new light on dark matter.

While stars are typically known for being quite large, neutron stars are quite the opposite, as they are very small but also very dense. As an example, the average size of a neutron star is ...

The collision of neutron stars is an opportunity to see what is inside these incredible objects. Astronomers can for the first time detect the smashing together of dead suns known as neutron stars ...

Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe, and when they collide it is with such force that they create ripples in spacetime, called gravitational waves.

According to a study, a neutron-star collision that occurred approximately 80 million years before the birth of our solar system produced an ample amount of gold, uranium, and other heavy elements ...

What happens when neutron stars collide? Date: June 18, 2024 Source: Penn State Summary: New simulations show that hot neutrinos created at the interface of merging binary neutron stars are briefy ...
