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

NASA scientists are tracking a star which is so powerful it would rip a human apart if they came within 600 miles - and they ...

Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such ...

Neutron stars are very small and dense stars, where roughly half a million earth masses of material are squeezed into a city-sized volume with a radius of 10 km.

Neutron star "mountains" would be much more massive than any on Earth—so massive that gravity just from these mountains could produce small oscillations, or ripples, in the fabric of space and time.

"Magnetars are neutron stars — the dead remnants of stars, composed entirely of neutrons," team leader Ashley Chrimes of the ...

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other.

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars.

This discovery is important because it helps scientists understand the extreme physics of neutron stars and the behaviour of ...
