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 ...

Neutron stars are covered with "mountains" only fractions of a millimeter tall, new research shows, meaning these bumps are hundreds of times smaller than previous estimates had suggested. Now, new ...

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 ...
