Some neutron stars may contain a "special type of matter," according to a new NASA study. These observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory indicate that the interiors of neutron stars might ...

Physicists have found the strongest sign yet of a fabled four of a kind. For six decades, researchers have hunted for clusters of four neutrons called tetraneutrons. But evidence for their existence ...

"Our research establishes a strong link between quantum mechanics and astrophysics and provides a new perspective on the inner nature of neutron stars." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Like a dried-up lemon from the back of the fridge, neutron stars are less squeezable than expected, physicists report. New measurements of the most massive known neutron star find that it has a ...

WASHINGTON, Feb 22 (Reuters) - When a star up to 20 times the mass of our sun exploded in a nearby galaxy, the blast was so violent that it was visible to the naked eye from Earth's southern ...

Merging neutron stars are excellent targets for multi-messenger astronomy. This modern and still very young method of astrophysics coordinates observations of the various signals from one and the same ...

A neutron star is a highly dense remnant of a massive star, composed primarily of neutrons due to extreme gravitational pressure. A tablespoon of neutron star material would possess a mass exceeding 1 ...

Neutron stars are the remnants of giant stars that died in a fiery explosion known as a supernova. After such an outburst, the cores of these former stars compact into an ultradense object with the ...
