When it comes to "busting" cosmic ghosts, only the most extreme objects in the universe may be up to the task: neutron stars. Scientists have performed simulations of collisions between these ...

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. Axions have never been directly ...

Scientists have developed the longest and most complex simulation to date of a binary neutron star collision that results in the formation of a black hole and a jet. The breakthrough will massively ...

The transformation of neutrinos in a neutron star merger could be crucial to shaping the way events of the collision unfold. For the first time, a team of physicists has simulated how neutrinos change ...

Neutron star mergers are a treasure trove for new physics signals, with implications for determining the true nature of dark matter, according to physicists. Neutron star mergers are a treasure trove ...

Illustration of the new method: the researchers use five-dimensional black holes (right) to calculate the phase diagram of strongly coupled matter (middle), enabling simulations of neutron star ...

Studying the violent collisions of black holes and neutron stars may soon provide a new measurement of the Universe’s expansion rate, helping to resolve a long-standing dispute, suggests a new ...

A new study says the cataclysmic event of two neutron stars colliding may also have solved the mystery of why there are so many heavy elements in the universe. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window ...

Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision that created the smallest black hole ever seen. When you purchase through ...
