How long can a neutron survive outside an atom? Again, fundamental physics values shouldn't change based on how you measure them.

In the Amazon dramedy “Étoile,” a ballet company in New York and another in Paris swap some of their talent for a season, hoping the gimmick will sell more tickets and fix some financial ...

Astronomers have spied the heaviest neutron star to date 3,000 light-years away from Earth. The “black widow,” a dense, collapsed star that’s devouring its stellar companion, also spins 707 ...

Neutron stars are very, very weird — and we just learned a fascinating new detail about them Neutron stars are the densest objects in the universe, created from massive stars that have collapsed ...

Neutron stars are the perfect cosmic laboratory for the scientists who study them, thanks to their observability, extreme gravity, and strong magnetic fields. Credit: ESO/L. Calçada.

Neutrons have a huge amount of potential to advance science in various fields. To produce the free neutrons needed for scientific experimentation, a new facility is being constructed in Sweden ...

Neutron stars are one of the strangest objects in the universe—so strange that scientist can only guess what’s going on inside them. A new study from an international team of scientists ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts.

The heaviest neutron star ever detected is shredding its companion while spinning around its axis over 700 times per second.

It wasn’t previously assumed that neutron stars could be as small as HESS J1731-347, so even if the strange star theory doesn’t pan out, this is still a weird neutron star either way.

Gravitational influence In total, Gaia’s data revealed 21 cases where Sun-like, main sequence stars appear to be orbiting around unseen neutron star companions, without losing any material. If this ...
