A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...

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 ...

"Measuring the properties of neutron-star matter is indeed very hard and this is because while we can measure the mass of a neutron star very accurately, it is very hard to measure its radius ...

Astronomers observed one of the fastest-spinning objects ever seen in the universe - and it is a neutron star. The researchers, from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), made the observation in ...

Near the surface there's gnocchi, which are round bubble-like neutrons. Go a bit deeper, and the pressure forces neutrons into long tubes called spaghetti. Go further down, and you have sheets of ...
