In 2020, astronomers discovered a violent cosmic event that has led them to rethink how extreme pairs of astronomical objects form. These pairs are capable of producing powerful cosmic collisions.

The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black hole. This has, for the first time, made it ...

Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...

Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...

DURHAM, N.C. – Using lasers to contain some ultra-chilled atoms, a team of scientists has measured the viscosity or stickiness of a gas often considered to be the sixth state of matter. The ...
