Neutron star collisions are known to be factories in which heavy elements are produced. The fusion that takes place inside stellar cores can only produce elements up to iron; the r-process, or ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, ...

The most energetic cosmic neutrino, or "ghost particle," ever recorded may be the remnants of a nearby black hole explosion.

The detector, known as the Jiangmen Underground neutrino Observatory, or JUNO, is located in between two huge nuclear plants at Yangjian and Taishan. Both of those fission plants create their own ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter ...

Those are the electron, the muon, and the tau neutrino. Each has slightly different characteristics from one another, and they have the ability to shift between the different types, or "oscillate" in ...
