In a recent study, researchers used neutron star observations to infer the properties of quark matter at even higher densities where it is certain to be a color superconductor. This yields the ...

Researchers are delving into the world of starquakes to understand the densest matter in the universe within neutron stars. This study not only bridges the gap between astronomy and nuclear physics ...

Nebulae are captivating cosmic structures, acting as star nurseries, showcasing beauty through NASA's stunning images of ...

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.

Two NASA astronauts will perform the year's first ... and provide navigation data," the post added. NICER (short for "Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer") launched to the station in ...

Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:RKLB) disclosed an agreement with NASA to include its Neutron rocket under the existing Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare contract.

The NASA astronauts used the opportunity to carry out repairs to things such as a space station gyroscope, the NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer) X-ray telescope and to prepare a ...

Neutron star observations have been used to infer properties of quark matter at high densities, confirming it as a color superconductor. This provides the first empirical upper bound on the ...
