Gold truly deserves to be called a precious metal. Now, scientists have found a way to extract gold from e-waste using ...
The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can be ...
New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how ...
For the past decade, gravitational wave astronomy has opened our eyes to amazing cosmic phenomena thanks to LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory. Bob McDonald celebrates LIGO ...
Quantum mechanics is everywhere, from powering the phone you’re reading this on to the galaxies that are formed with colliding stars, everything has to be understood at a molecular level that is based ...
It was sitting-on-the-floor-room only in a classroom at the South Dakota School of Mines. The topic? How the same atomic process that happens inside stars, including our own sun, might ...
On Sept. 14, 2015, physicists attained the long-sought goal of detecting gravitational waves, the shockwaves spewed out by such cataclysmic events as the violent merger of two black holes. Now, in the ...
Our readers agree that in the unlikely event you were able to approach a neutron star, it would look very smooth and bright ...
Astronomers have used an X-ray spacecraft called XRISM to observe powerful winds blowing from a neutron star — the findings ...
XRISM found a slow, thick wind from a neutron star, pointing to temperature as the key driver of cosmic wind behavior. The ...
