An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars ...

When massive stars explode as supernovae, they can leave behind neutron stars. Other than black holes, these are the densest ...

In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly ...

In the past three years, astronomers have discovered a mysterious new type of radio source. We call these long-period ...

Joaquín Bohigas Bosch, former researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and Oxford University, will explain ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured a weak r-process reaction using a radioactive ion beam, shedding light ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Professor Claudia Ratti explains about quarks and gluons, including the so-called Quark-Gluon Plasma, plus Quantum ...

Astronomers have traced a starnge blast of radiowaves that repeats every 2 hours back to a dead star white dwarf magnetically ...

Scientists from Keele University have found strong evidence that some of Earth’s past mass extinctions could have been caused by nearby supernova explosions—massive star explosions in the Milky Way.
